Rapid Curing (RC) asphalt cement is a combination of light diluents of high volatility, generally in the gasoline or naphtha boiling point range (RC-30, RC-70, RC-250, RC-800 and RC-3000), and asphalt cement.
Cutback bitumen Rapid Curing, RC, is a petrochemical mixture of solvent as naphtha or gasoline and bitumen.
The degree of liquidity developed in each case depends principally on the proportion of solvent to asphalt cement. To a minor degree, the liquidity of the cutback may be affected by the hardness of the base asphalt from which the cutback is made. The degree of fluidity results in several Grades of Cutback asphalt—some quite fluid at ordinary temperatures and others somewhat more viscous. The more viscous grades may require a small amount of heating to make them fluid enough for construction operations.
Bitumen RC-250 is Rapid curing (RC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of rapid volatility. Cutback Bitumen RC-250 is a rapid curing cutback bitumen that contains 65% bitumen, is black in color, and is manufactured strictly as per ASTM D 2028M standard.
Cutback bitumen RC3000 is a rapid curing cutback bitumen which is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of Naphtha. Petroleum solvents such as naphtha, kerosene, etc. are cutback agents which can reduce the viscosity of the bitumen. As well as improving the ability to coat aggregates.
Cutback bitumen RC800 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of Naphtha. Petroleum solvents such as naphtha, kerosene, etc. are cutback agents which can reduce the viscosity of the bitumen. As well as improving the ability to coat aggregates.
Bitumen RC-70 is Rapid curing (RC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of rapid volatility. KiaPetro Cutback Bitumen RC-70 complies with cutback petroleum asphalts of the rapid-curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements.
Cutback Bitumen RC30 is Rapid curing (RC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of rapid volatility. Cutback RC-30 containing minimum 50% Bitumen, is commonly used for Prime Coating.
