Bitumen SC30 is a slow-curing (SC) cutback bitumen produced by mixing penetration-grade bitumen with a carefully selected petroleum solvent. This formulation allows the bitumen to remain fluid for extended periods, making it ideal for prime coating unbound base layers.
At Basekim, we produce and supply Bitumen SC30 to global markets. Our clients include road contractors, civil engineers, and infrastructure firms who demand quality, consistency, and timely delivery.
Why Choose Bitumen SC30?
Bitumen SC30 is designed for deep penetration into granular surfaces. Because it evaporates slowly, it gives the base layer time to absorb the binder completely. As a result, the road foundation becomes stronger and better bonded to the top asphalt layer.
In addition, its slow curing properties reduce the risk of uneven application. Even in high-temperature environments, SC30 remains workable and stable. This flexibility allows crews to apply the material thoroughly without rushing, which improves project outcomes and saves costs in the long run.
Furthermore, SC30 enhances water resistance and durability. Roads treated with this grade are more resilient to moisture, wear, and structural failure. Therefore, engineers often choose SC30 when building roads in rural, high-traffic, or weather-sensitive areas.
Technical Specifications – Bitumen SC30
At Basekim, we test each batch of SC30 to meet strict international standards. Below is a detailed overview of its main properties:
| Property | Test Method | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| Kinematic Viscosity @ 60°C | ASTM D2170 | 30–60 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% |
All technical data sheets, SDS (Safety Data Sheets), and COA (Certificates of Analysis) are included with your order. That way, you can ensure regulatory compliance at every stage.
Applications of This Product
SC30 works best for prime coats in road construction. When applied to unbound granular layers, it binds dust and particles together. This creates a tough, waterproof base ready for further surfacing.
Besides prime coating, Bitumen SC30 is also used for patching, cold mix asphalt, and dust control. Its flowability ensures full surface coverage, which reduces waste and improves bonding strength.
Contractors and engineers rely on SC30 for both new builds and maintenance projects. Because of its ease of use and effectiveness, it’s a popular choice in many climate zones and soil conditions.
