PMB 120 or Polymer Modified Bitumen 120 a specially manufactured bitumen with polymers to deliver superior performance. this grade used in demand exceptional elasticity, durability, and resistance to deformation under the heaviest traffic conditions. we manufacture high-quality PMB 120 to withstand extreme temperature variations, long traffic loads, and harsh environmental conditions.
Polymer Modified Bitumen 120 is a specialized polymer-modified bituminous binder engineered for pavement applications in cold climates and environments that demand exceptional flexibility. Developed in accordance with IS 15462:2017, this grade combines conventional bitumen with advanced performance polymers to deliver superior resistance to low-temperature cracking, fatigue distress, and thermal-induced stresses.
With its high penetration value and outstanding ductility, PMB 120 ensures an elastic and durable pavement surface, particularly in regions where traditional bitumen fails to maintain adequate performance. Its tailored formulation makes it an ideal choice for infrastructure requiring long-term resilience against severe temperature fluctuations and mechanical loading.
Application of PMB 120
Poymer Modified Bitumen 120 is recommended for premium and specialized asphalt projects:
Bridge Decks & Expansion Joints
Intersections and roundabouts
Crack-Sealing & Joint-Sealing Applications
SMA Mixtures (Stone Mastic Asphalt)
Flexible Pavements in Cold Climates
Bitumen for railway ballast and port paving – suitable for heavy loads.
Airport runways – designed for heavy traffic loads
Advantages
Very high elastic recovery
Excellent low-temperature flexibility
High-viscosity, high-cohesion binder
Strong fatigue resistance
Low temperature susceptibility
Excellent waterproofing behavior
Key Features of Polymer Modified 120
*Polymer Modification
PMB 120 is formulated using high-performance polymers such as styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA), or comparable modifiers. These additives significantly enhance the bitumen’s structural properties, improving its resistance to permanent deformation, thermal cracking, and oxidative aging.
*High Elastic Recovery
Thanks to its advanced polymer composition, PMB 120 demonstrates superior elastic recovery, enabling the binder to regain its original shape after deformation caused by heavy and repetitive traffic loading. This elasticity contributes to extended pavement life and improved performance under stress.
*Enhanced Performance Resistance
PMB 40 offers remarkable resistance across a wide range of operational conditions, including:
Rutting resistance at elevated temperatures
Crack resistance at low temperatures
Excellent fatigue resistance under continuous and repeated traffic loads
These enhanced characteristics make PMB 120 an optimal choice for high-stress asphalt applications requiring long-term durability and stability.

Jumbo Bag
Jumbo bags are a popular method of transporting Bitumen Penetration From Dubai, UAE. These big, pliable bags may store 300–1,000 kg of bitumen and are usually constructed from woven polypropylene.
1MT Jumbo Bag with Pallet and Steel Cage: Loading 20Ton in 20ft Container = 20Ton Net
1MT Jumbo Bag without Pallet and Steel Cage: Loading 20Ton in 40ft Container = 20Ton Net
300Kg in Bitubag : Loading in 24Ton in 20ft Container
Steel Drum
Steel drums are a popular option for exporting Bitumen Penetration Penetration in UAE. This packaging method is preferred for its durability and dependability, which ensures safe transportation. These high-quality steel drums provide excellent protection against physical damage, contamination, and environmental hazards.

Bulk
Bitumen Penetration in UAE, packed in 4 way packages Such as:
Bulk in Bitutainer
Bulk in Bulk Vessel
Bulk in Flexi Tank
Bulk in Truck Tanker
1. Bulk in Bitutainer
Bitumen penetration is frequently packed in bulk using bitutainers, which is an ideal way for efficient and safe transportation. A bitutainer can normally hold up to 25 tons of bitumen.
2. Bulk in Bulk Vessel
Bitumen is frequently loaded into bulk carrier boats for large-scale projects and worldwide transportation. This approach is very effective for loading volumes ranging from 1,000 to 30,000 tons.
3. Bulk in Flexi Tank
Large, flexible containers called flexitanks are made to fit within typical 20-foot shipping containers. When it comes to moving big loads of liquid or semi-liquid bitumen penetration, they are a great choice.
4. Bulk in Truck Tanker
Using tank trucks, also referred to as bitumen tankers, to transport bitumen penetration grades in bulk. These vehicles are built to handle heavy loads of bitumen, with capacities ranging from 24 to 25 tons.
