General description of Cutback Bitumen RC-30 Cutback Bitumen RC-30 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. he reduction in viscosity of the bitumen aids the construction […]
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 […]
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 […]
