Bitumen MC800 is a medium-curing cutback bitumen with high viscosity. It blends penetration-grade bitumen with a petroleum solvent, which allows it to be sprayed at ambient temperature. Because of its thicker consistency, MC800 creates a strong and durable layer that bonds well with road base materials.
At Basekim, we manufacture and export high-quality bitumen MC800 to over 30 countries. Our clients rely on us for consistent product quality, proper packaging, and on-time global delivery. Whether you manage large infrastructure projects or smaller local roads, Basekim delivers the performance you expect.
How Bitumen MC800 Performs in Road Projects
When applied to unbound or stabilized layers, bitumen MC800 penetrates the surface and gradually releases the solvent. As the solvent evaporates, a sticky layer of bitumen remains. This layer bonds the base to the top asphalt, improving durability and reducing the risk of layer separation.
Because of its high viscosity, MC800 works well in environments where other cutbacks might flow too quickly. Engineers prefer MC800 for road bases with fine materials, especially when applying prime coats before paving. Even on hot days, this product stays in place during application.
In addition, contractors often choose MC800 for heavy traffic roads, parking lots, or even industrial driveways. Its long curing time allows better control during application, which helps reduce waste and improves long-term performance.
Technical Specifications – Bitumen MC800
At Basekim, every batch of MC800 meets international standards. Our labs test each sample to make sure it meets ASTM specifications. Below is a table showing its key physical properties:
| Property | Test Method | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Kinematic Viscosity @ 60°C | ASTM D2170 | 800–1600 cSt |
| Flash Point (Tag Open Cup) | ASTM D3143 | Min 38°C |
| Distillation Residue | ASTM D402 | Min 55% by volume |
| Penetration of Residue | ASTM D5 | 100–250 dmm |
| Ductility of Residue | ASTM D113 | Min 100 cm |
| Solubility in TCE | ASTM D2042 | Min 99% |
With each shipment, we provide all required documents including a Certificate of Analysis and Safety Data Sheet. These help your team with customs, project records, and safety compliance.
Why Basekim Is the Right Supplier
At Basekim, we handle the full process—from production to packaging and global shipping. We offer bitumen MC800 in new steel drums, IBC tanks, or bulk containers based on your needs. Our dedicated team works closely with you to organize shipping, documents, and delivery timelines.
Clients choose Basekim not only for product quality but also for service. Because we understand the requirements of large and small projects, we make sure your bitumen arrives exactly as expected. More importantly, our bitumen price stays competitive without compromising quality.
The Right Cutback for Your Project
Choosing the right cutback grade matters. Bitumen MC800 is ideal when slower curing and strong adhesion are required. You’ll find it especially useful in warm climates and large-scale paving operations. If your project needs another grade, we also supply MC30, MC70, MC250, and MC3000.
Whatever your application, Basekim delivers reliable bitumen solutions that match your technical and commercial needs. Our global experience, advanced production, and strong logistics network make your job easier.
