What is cutback bitumen? Cutback bitumen is a type of bituminous binder like bitumen MC30 MC70 MC250 MC3000 RC70 that is produced by blending bitumen with a petroleum solvent to reduce its viscosity and improve its workability. The solvent used in cutback bitumen is typically a light hydrocarbon such as gasoline or kerosene. Liquid bitumen […]
General description of cutback asphalt MC 30 Cutback bitumen MC30 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 mixture obtained may be called cutback bitumen. […]
Understanding Flash Point The flash point of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it can release vapors that can ignite when exposed to an open flame or spark. In the context of bitumen, the flash point indicates the temperature at which it can produce enough flammable vapors to ignite under specific test conditions. […]
What is viscosity grade bitumen VG40 and VG30? Bitumen VG30 and bitumen VG40 are refers to a type of asphalt that is commonly used in road construction and paving. VG stands for viscosity grade, which is a measure of the bitumen’s resistance to flow at a given temperature. Bitumen VG grades are typically categorized based […]
