Innovation in Bitumen
PMB Brazilian Standard
Explore Bernet PMB (Brazilian Standard ANP 897/2022), PMA 55/75, PMA 60/85, PMA 65/90 grades engineered for tropical climates, adhesion, and pavement durability.
High-Performance PMB Brazilian Standard
PMB Brazilian Standard (ANP 897/2022)
Bernet Bitumen produces Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) conforming to Brazilian regulatory and technical standards, including ANP Resolution No. 897/2022 and DNIT 095/2006-EM.
These binders are engineered for tropical climates, providing superior elasticity, adhesion, and deformation resistance for high-performance pavements and waterproofing systems.
Each grade is carefully formulated with SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) or EVA polymers to ensure long service life under intense heat, heavy traffic, and high humidity typical of Brazilian and Latin American conditions
Engineered for Brazilian Infrastructure Performance
Brazil’s wide range of climatic zones, from humid tropics to semi-arid regions, requires flexible yet durable binders. Bernet PMB (Brazilian Standard) combines polymer modification and viscosity control to deliver exceptional rutting resistance, cohesion, and fatigue performance under extreme loading and temperature cycles.
Engineered for Strength & Flexibility
Comprehensive Range of PMB Brazilian Standard
Bernet Bitumen supplies the complete range of Brazilian-standard PMB grades used in road paving and waterproofing, in full compliance with ANP 897/2022 and DNIT 095/2006-EM.
