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, […]
Australian Grade Bitumen Description Australian Grade bitumen, known for its versatility and reliability, encompasses a range of grades tailored to meet specific project requirements. Bitumen is used to build and maintain the majority of high-performance roads in Australia because it is long-lasting and has excellent waterproofing and adhesion capabilities. Bitumen used in road construction and […]
what is Anionic Bitumen Emulsion RS-2? Anionic Bitumen Emulsion RS-2 is a specialized emulsion with unique properties suitable for various applications. It is classified based on breaking characteristics, with rapid-setting emulsions for surface dressing and medium or slow-setting emulsions for blending with aggregates. Rapid-setting emulsions are not suitable for mixing with aggregates due to their […]
What is Anionic Bitumen Emulsion RS-1? Anionic Bitumen Emulsion RS-1 is basically a water-based emulsion in which negatively charged (anionic) bitumen droplets are dispersed in water. This grade is an emulsion for rapid setting and hence it finds its application in surface treatments, such as tack coat and priming. RS-1 has excellent adhesion to non-alkaline […]
Bitumen 60/70 and 80/100 are two widely used grades in road construction and asphalt industries. Each of these bitumens has unique characteristics that are more suitable for certain climatic conditions and projects. In this article, we will examine the differences, similarities and applications of each of these grades. Definition Bitumen 60/70 This grade is […]
Intro Bitumen is among the raw materials used in construction and many other industries for various applications. This specification becomes worth paying attention to in selecting the right type of bitumen for every application. In this respect, types of bitumen and the best options for each type of use are to be discussed as […]
Description of Bitumen AC40 Bitumen AC40, also known as Asphalt Cement (AC) 40, is a highly viscous bitumen grade specifically designed for road construction and maintenance in hot climates. It stands out for its remarkable durability, flexibility, and resistance to deformation, making it perfect for creating high-performance road surfaces, even in the harshest conditions. This […]
