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 […]

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 […]

General description of Cutback Bitumen RC-70 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 […]

What is Slow Curing Cutback Bitumen? Slow curing Cutback Bitumen is a type of bitumen mixed with a solvent, widely used in road construction. It falls within the heavy distillate range (SC-70, SC-250, SC-800, SC-3000) and has low volatility oils. The fluidity of the cutback bitumen depends primarily on the ratio of solvent to asphalt […]

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 […]
