General Description of Cutback Bitumen RC-250 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 […]

What is Slow Curing Cutback Bitumen? Slow curing Cutback Bitumen and oils of low volatility are generally in the heavy distillate range (SC-70, 250, 800, 3000). The degree of liquidity developed in each case depends principally on the proportion of solvent to asphalt cement. To a minor degree, the liquidity of the cutback may be […]

Medium Curing Cutback Bitumen The medium curing cutback bitumen is used in the flexible pavements for surface dressing, prime coating, and tack coating. The evaporation of the solvents will be at a moderate rate. This grade is used with aggregates for ensuring better workability in the mix. The degree of evaporation in the medium curing […]

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 […]
