Description of Cutback Bitumen MC-30 Cutback bitumen MC-30 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement for […]
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 […]
Description Cutback Bitumen RC-70 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of gasoline. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The mixture obtained may be called cutback bitumen. The reduction in viscosity of the bitumen […]
Description Slow Curing (SC) Cutback Bitumen is also referred to as a blend of asphalt cement and low-volatility petroleum solvents such as fuel oil or diesel. The blend reduces the viscosity of the bitumen, which is easier to use in cold weather or cold mix operations. “Slow curing” refers to the slow evaporation of the […]
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 […]
Cutback Bitumen Description Cutback Bitumen, or Liquid Bitumen, is a type of bitumen 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 influence […]
