Bitumen MC70 is a medium-curing cutback bitumen made by blending penetration-grade bitumen with kerosene. Road construction teams use it to prime and seal unbound base layers before applying hot mix asphalt. Its perfect flow and balanced curing speed make it ideal for both urban and remote infrastructure projects.
At Basekim, we produce and supply high-quality bitumen MC70 for road contractors, infrastructure firms, and public projects worldwide. Because we control production, testing, and delivery, we ensure top performance and on-time shipping for every order.
Construction crews apply bitumen MC70 as a prime coat to unbound or stabilized road bases. After spraying the material on the surface, it quickly penetrates the granular layer. As the solvent slowly evaporates, the remaining bitumen forms a strong, adhesive film. That film bonds the base and the asphalt layer placed above it.

ToggleIn moderate to warm climates, MC70 offers excellent performance. It cures at just the right speed—faster than heavier grades but slower than rapid-curing options. Because you don’t need to heat it, you can apply it with simple spraying equipment, which reduces energy costs and safety risks.
At Basekim, our lab technicians test each batch to match ASTM standards. We deliver consistent quality with every shipment. You can review our technical data below:
Property | Test Method | Specification |
---|---|---|
Kinematic Viscosity @ 60°C | ASTM D2170 | 70–140 cSt |
Flash Point (Tag Open Cup) | ASTM D3143 | Min 38°C |
Distillation Residue | ASTM D402 | Min 55% by volume |
Penetration of Residue | ASTM D5 | 100–200 dmm |
Ductility of Residue | ASTM D113 | Min 100 cm |
Solubility in TCE | ASTM D2042 | Min 99% |
When you choose MC70, you gain several key benefits. First, it gives you flexibility. You can apply it without heating equipment, which makes it ideal for remote areas or quick projects. Second, it allows enough curing time to create a solid bond with the base.
By using MC70, you extend the life of your asphalt pavement. The strong bond it creates improves resistance to moisture and heavy traffic. As a result, your roads perform better and last longer.
Many engineers also choose MC70 for dust control or light surface treatments. Because of its medium-curing properties, it adapts well to different weather and soil conditions.
Basekim manufactures and ships bitumen MC70 across more than 30 countries. We prepare your order according to your specifications and offer flexible packaging solutions like new steel drums, IBC tanks, or bulk ISO tanks. Our logistics team manages each step to make sure your order arrives safely and on time.
Since we control our own production and shipping, we offer a competitive bitumen price without sacrificing quality. Our support team also guides you through each step—from order to customs—to reduce your workload.
In addition to MC70, Basekim produces other medium-curing grades such as MC30 and MC250. If your project calls for slow- or rapid-curing types, we also offer SC250, RC70, and RC250. By working with Basekim, you simplify your supply chain while ensuring high-quality results.
