BituPlus Bitumen MC70 is a medium curing (MC) cut-back asphalt. This cutback bitumen is created by dissolving bitumen in solvents of kerosene. The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement, making it easier to handle and apply. After application, the diluent evaporates, leaving the asphalt cement to fulfill its intended function.
Cutback bitumen MC-70 is particularly well-suited for use as a prime coat and for cold applications. Its ease of use, requiring no thinning or heating, makes it a practical choice for various applications.
Key Properties of BituPlus Bitumen Cutback MC70, categorized in accordance with ASTM/EN15322:2009 standards, include:
- Medium Curing: MC-70 exhibits a medium curing rate, rendering it suitable for a range of applications.
- Quality Assurance: BituPlus guarantees the quality of Cutback MC-70 through collaboration with international inspectors. Each shipment undergoes meticulous quality and quantity checks during the loading process onto vessels. Furthermore, our dedicated QC team conducts batch test reports to verify product quality before shipping.
