Cutback Bitumen

Cutback Bitumen

Cutback Bitumen is made by reducing the viscosity of and ordinary bitumen by adding mostly petroleum-type solvent. Cutback Bitumen is used because its viscosity is lower than that of neat asphalt and can thus be used in low-temperature applications.
Cutbacks are divided into three classification: Slow Curing (SC) SC-70 SC-250 SC-800 SC-3000, Medium Curing (MC) MC-30 MC-70 MC-250 MC-800 MC-3000, Rapid Curing (RC) RC-70 RC-250 RC-800 RC-3000.

Cutback Bitumen MC-70 Applications
Cutback bitumen MC-70 has several applications in road construction and maintenance:

Priming: It is used as a primer to prepare the surface of the road before laying asphalt or other surfacing materials. Priming helps to improve the adhesion between the existing surface and the new layer.
Tack Coat: MC-70 can be applied as a tack coat to promote bonding between asphalt layers. Tack coats help prevent delamination and increase the structural integrity of the pavement.
Dust Control: It can be used for dust control on unpaved roads or surfaces by binding loose particles together, reducing dust emissions, and stabilizing the surface.
Surface Dressing: MC-70 can be used in surface dressing applications, where it is sprayed onto the surface of the road and covered with aggregate to provide a durable and skid-resistant surface.
Repair and Maintenance: It is also used for repair and maintenance of roads, including filling potholes, sealing cracks, and repairing minor surface defects.

Cutback Bitumen RC-250 Applications
Cutback Bitumen RC-250 is commonly used in road construction and maintenance for various applications:

Prime Coating: RC-250 can be used as a prime coat to prepare the surface before applying asphalt layers, promoting adhesion between the surface and subsequent asphalt layers.
Tack Coat: It serves as a tack coat to ensure proper bonding between pavement layers, preventing slippage and increasing the structural integrity of the road.
Surface Dressing: RC-250 is used in surface dressing applications to waterproof and protect the road surface from water infiltration and weathering, extending the lifespan of the pavement.
Patching and Repair: It can be used for patching and repair work on roads, providing a durable and reliable solution for filling potholes and cracks.
Dust Control: RC-250 can be applied to unpaved roads to control dust emissions, improving road safety and reducing environmental impacts.
Packing of Bitumen RC250
Packing of cutback bitumen RC250 is in new thick steel drum on the pallet to prevent any leak inside of the container, IBC Tank, and also bulk in bitutainer.

Cutback Bitumen MC-30 are used as components for road maintenance industry where it is used as a prime coat of the base course prior to placing of the bituminous surface course.
Other uses include roofing as a waterproofing membrane and as an adhesive to stick chippings onto a flat, horizontal roof to minimize the effects of weathering from the sun.

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 higher residual Bitumen percent, typically over 80% compares with over 40-65% for Bitumen emulsions. The result is more Bitumen left on the roadway after curing, for the same volume of binder applied.

Application
Cutback bitumen’s suitable for primer sealing can also be used in the manufacture ofpre-mix asphalt, which is used in patch repairs.Cutback bitumen’s are used extensively in sprayed sealingapplications, particularly in cooler weather where theyprovide improved initial stone retention due to their

Bitumen Cutback Grade

Cutback Bitumen SC-250 Ensuring Superior Road Performance from Turkey and Dubai-UAE
utback Bitumen SC-250 Applications
Cutback bitumen SC-250 finds various applications in road construction and maintenance due to its slow-cure properties. Here are some common applications:

Prime Coat: SC-250 can be used as a prime coat to prepare the base surface before the application of asphalt layers. The slow-curing nature allows it to penetrate deeply into the base, providing a strong bond and waterproofing.
Tack Coat: It serves as a tack coat to promote adhesion between asphalt layers. Applied to the existing asphalt surface before overlaying with a new layer, SC-250 ensures proper bonding and prevents slippage, especially in areas with heavy traffic or high stress.
Surface Treatment: SC-250 is utilized in surface treatments such as chip seals or slurry seals. Its slow-curing properties allow for better penetration and binding of the aggregate, resulting in a durable wearing surface that protects the underlying pavement.
Patch Repair: It can be used for patching and repair of damaged asphalt surfaces. SC-250 helps create a strong bond between the patching material and the existing pavement, ensuring long-lasting repairs.
Mixing with Aggregate: SC-250 can also be mixed with aggregate to create cold mix asphalt for temporary repairs or maintenance work in cold weather conditions.

Cutback Bitumen MC-3000 Applications
Cutback bitumen MC-3000, characterized by its high viscosity, is typically utilized in specialized applications in road construction and maintenance where increased durability, adhesion, and resistance to environmental factors are required. Here are some common applications:

High-Stress Pavements: MC-3000 is used in the construction of heavy-duty pavements subjected to high traffic loads, such as highways, airports, and industrial areas. Its high viscosity ensures strong adhesion between asphalt layers, reducing the risk of rutting and fatigue cracking.
Base Stabilization: In areas with poor soil conditions or high moisture content, MC-3000 can be applied to stabilize the base layers of the pavement. Its superior adhesion properties help bind aggregate particles together, improving the strength and stability of the base.
Surface Sealing and Waterproofing: MC-3000 is employed in surface sealing applications to protect asphalt surfaces from moisture penetration, oxidation, and wear. Its high viscosity allows for better coverage and sealing of surface defects, prolonging the pavements lifespan.
Bridge Decks and Parking Lots: MC-3000 is often used to construct bridge decks and parking lots where durability and resistance to heavy loads are critical. Its strong adhesion and waterproofing properties help prevent moisture-induced damage and extend the service life of the structure.
Cold Weather Applications: In regions with cold climates, MC-3000 can be used for road construction and maintenance during colder months. Its higher viscosity enables it to remain stable at lower temperatures, facilitating application and ensuring proper bonding in cold weather conditions.
High-Traffic Intersections: MC-3000 is preferred for pavement construction at high-traffic intersections and roundabouts, where increased durability and resistance to deformation are essential. Its excellent adhesion properties help maintain pavement integrity under heavy turning and braking forces.
