Introduction to Cutback Asphalt Cutback asphalt is a type of asphalt binder that is manufactured by the blending of normal bitumen with a solvent to reduce its viscosity. This facilitates it being used at lower temperatures, and this makes it ideal for road making, repair, and maintenance—especially where heating the asphalt to a very high […]
Introduction The usage of Cutback Bitumen in Prime and Tack Coat ensures strong adhesion and enhances the durability of road construction layers. Cutback bitumen plays a very vital role in enhancing the adhesion and durability of road layers, particularly in prime coat and tack coat applications. Road construction is a technical activity that needs precision, […]
Introduction This article explores the behavior of Cutback Bitumen in Various Climatic Conditions, highlighting key challenges and strategies to ensure successful implementation. Cutback bitumen is a versatile material widely used in road construction and paving applications, primarily due to its ability to remain workable at lower temperatures compared to traditional bitumen. By incorporating petroleum-based solvents, […]
Introduction Cold asphalt is one of the major materials for road construction and repair works, especially in the case of relatively low traffic or under temporary repair conditions. Unlike the traditional hot mix asphalt, cold asphalt can be laid without heating or any specialized equipment at ambient temperatures. One of the most critical components in […]
Description of Cutback Bitumen SC-3000 Cutback Bitumen SC-3000 is an SC anionic bituminous product which is primarily employed in road surfacing and surface treatments like chip seals and dust control for unpaved roads. It is produced by blending a heavy industrial solvent (such as black oil or diesel) with pure bitumen, reducing its viscosity and […]
Description of Cutback Bitumen SC-800 Cutback Bitumen SC-800 is a slow curing cutback bitumen, made by dissolving penetration grade bitumen in a petroleum solvent, typically kerosene or diesel. This reduces the bitumen’s viscosity, making it easier to handle and apply. Cutback Bitumen SC800 has a kinematic viscosity ranging from 800 to 1600 centistokes (CST) at […]
Description of Cutback Bitumen SC-250 Cutback Bitumen SC-250 is a slow-curing asphalt used in pavement construction and treatment. It is composed of penetration grade asphalt cement and a slow-volatility diluent or cutter, meeting ASTM D2028-97 specifications. SC-250 and SC-70 are cutback asphalts that resemble residual refinery products, commonly used as heavy fuel oils. They are […]
Description of Cutback Bitumen SC-70 Cutback bitumen SC-70 is a mixture of bitumen and kerosene, used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen in road pavements. This reduces the bitumen’s viscosity, aiding in the construction of seal coats. The cutback agent evaporates from the seal coat, becoming a negligible component a few months after application. However, […]
Description of Cutback Bitumen MC-800 Cutback Bitumen MC-800 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement for […]
Description Cutback bitumen MC-250 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement for ease of handling and […]
