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 […]
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 […]
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 asphalt , is a type of asphalt 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 […]
