General Description Bitumen 30/40 Bitumen 30/40 is a semi-hard penetration bitumen of grade bitumen that is derived from vacuum distillation of crude oil. It is viscous and durable and is primarily used in road construction and asphalt pavement manufacturing, especially where there is heavy traffic and high stress. This penetration grade bitumen softens at elevated […]
Description of MC Medium Curing (MC) Medium Curing cutback bitumen is a solvent bitumen blend with a moderately volatile solvent, typically kerosene. It has widespread usage in flexible pavements for surface dressing, prime coating, tack coating, and cold mix asphalt. It possesses a medium evaporation rate with a balance between setting time and workability, which […]
What is Rapid Curing Cutback Bitumen? Rapid curing cutback bitumen is asphalt cement mixed with light, very volatile solvents such as gasoline or naphtha. The solvents reduce the viscosity of the bitumen, making it easier to apply at low temperatures. The most commonly applied grades of rapid curing cutback bitumen are RC-70, RC-250, RC-800, and […]
What is Cationic Bitumen Emulsion? Cationic bitumen emulsion is a stable water dispersion of bitumen droplets with a positive electric charge. The positively charged emulsifying agents (e.g., NH₃⁺ groups) cause them to move towards the cathode when under an electric field, hence the term “cationic.”They repel one another due to the charge and stay suspended […]
General Definition of Bitumen Emulsion Bitumen Emulsion is a mixture of fine droplets of bitumen and water. But as the bitumen is a petroleum product it doesn’t mix with water and as it is sticky in nature, it doesn’t easily gets disintegrated into fine droplets. o overcome this problem an emulsifier is used. Emulsifier can […]

Cutback Bitumen Description Cutback Bitumen, or Liquid asphalt , is a type of asphalt dissolved in petroleum solvents such as naphtha, gasoline, kerosene, or white spirit to reduce its viscosity. The method allows the bitumen to be used at a reduced temperature and under various environmental conditions. The type and percentage of solvent used directly […]
