BituPlus Bitumen MC30 is a Medium-Curing Cutback Bitumen, specifically designed for cold weather applications. MC-30 is a medium curing (MC) cut-back asphalt composed of penetration grade asphalt cement and medium-volatility diluents or cutters. These diluents temporarily reduce the viscosity of the asphalt cement, making it easier to handle and apply. Cutback MC-30 is commonly used in the road maintenance industry, where it serves as a prime coat for the base course prior to the placement of the bituminous surface course. This cutback bitumen is created by dissolving bitumen in kerosene solvents.
Key Properties of BituPlus Bitumen Cutback MC30, classified in accordance with ASTM/EN15322:2009 standards, include:
- Medium Curing: MC-30 exhibits a medium curing rate, making it suitable for various applications in cold weather conditions.
- Quality Assurance: BituPlus ensures the quality of Cutback MC-30 through collaboration with international inspectors. Each shipment undergoes meticulous quality and quantity checks during the loading process onto vessels. Additionally, our dedicated QC team conducts batch test reports to verify product quality before shipping.
