BituPlus Bitumen MC800 is a cutback bitumen created by dissolving bitumen in kerosene solvents. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as cutters or cutback agents to bitumen to reduce its viscosity. This results in the formation of cutback bitumen, such as MC-800.
Cutback Bitumen MC-800 adheres to the specifications for medium-curing cutback petroleum asphalts, as per ASTM D2028-97 (reapproved in 2004). It is specifically designed for use in the construction and treatment of pavements.
Key Properties of BituPlus Bitumen Cutback MC800, classified in accordance with ASTM/EN15322:2009 standards, include:
