Description 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 of seal coats in road […]
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 […]
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 […]
