Cutback RC3000

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.

Application of Bitumen Cutback RC3000

Cutback bitumen RC3000 consist of initial incorporation of asphalt into the surface of non-asphalt based course preparatory to any superimposed treatment of construction.

The cutback asphalt RC3000 applying to waterproofing of surfaces, plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles.
