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 […]
Intro Oxidized bitumen, otherwise termed blown bitumen, is produced through a controlled oxidation process in which air is blown through hot bitumen under predetermined conditions. The process changes certain physical and chemical properties of bitumen, turning it harder, elastic, and useful for specialized applications. An overview of the production process is as follows: Raw Material […]
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 […]
