Description Cutback Bitumen RC-250 is Rapid curing (RC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of rapid volatility. Our Cutback Bitumen RC-250 complies with cutback petroleum asphalts of the rapid-curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements. Cutback Bitumen RC-250 is a rapid curing cutback bitumen that […]
What is Slow Curing Cutback Bitumen? Slow Curing (SC) Cutback Bitumen is asphalt cement that has been blended with a low-volatility petroleum solvent, such as diesel or fuel oil, to reduce its viscosity so that it can be more easily spread. “Slow curing” refers to the slow evaporation of the solvent, which allows for a […]
Medium Curing Cutback Bitumen Medium Curing Cutback bitumen has extensive applications in flexible pavements as surface dressing, prime coating, and tack coating. Solvent evaporation is of medium rate. The grade is mixed with aggregates to enhance the workability of the mix. The evaporation rate of the medium curing cutback asphalt is referred to as intermediate […]
What is Rapid Curing cutback Bitumen? Rapid curing cutback asphalt cement is a combination of light diluents of high volatility, generally in the gasoline or naphtha boiling point range (RC-70, 250, 800, 3000), and asphalt cement. Rapid curing cutback asphalt combinations are prepared to start from the lighter diluents, and even from the fluid of […]
Cutback Bitumen Description Cutback Bitumen ( Liquid Bitumen ) is Bitumen that is dissolved in a solvent . Typical solvents include Naptha, gasoline and kerosene, white spirit, etc. The type of solvent controls the curing time while the amount determines the viscosity of the Cutback Bitumen. The advantage Cutbacks have over Emulsions is a much […]
