Cutback Bitumen MC-250 General Information
Cutback Bitumen MC-250 is a medium-curing cutback asphalt produced by blending penetration-grade asphalt cement with a solvent or diluent of medium volatility, typically kerosene. This formulation temporarily reduces the asphalt’s viscosity, making it easier to handle, apply, and work with.
After application, the solvent evaporates, leaving behind asphalt cement to perform its function, forming a durable, weather-resistant surface. The curing process for Cutback Bitumen MC-250 is moderate, making it ideal for use in various of road construction and maintenance applications.
Medium Curing MC-250 Key Features:
- Medium Curing Time: Cutback mc250 offers a balanced curing time, making it ideal for a range of construction applications.
- Easy Handling: The addition of kerosene or similar distillates reduces viscosity, making it easier to spray, brush, or pour without the need for heating or thinning.
- Durable Finish: After evaporation of the cutback agent, the asphalt provides a robust, long-lasting surface ideal for pavement and road construction.
- Low Volatility: The medium-curing solvent ensures faster evaporation than slower-curing formulations, leaving behind a durable asphalt layer without prolonged softening.
Bitumen MC250 Uses:
- Prime Coats: Ideal for penetrating prime coats, allowing easy bonding of the asphalt to the underlying surface.
- Paving: Used as a binder or adhesive in asphalt paving for road construction and maintenance, forming a strong bond between aggregates.
- Roofing: Acts as a waterproofing membrane and adhesive for sticking chippings to flat roofs, providing long-lasting weather resistance.
- Damp-Proof Courses: Ideal for use in small repairs or as damp-proof membranes in concrete floors and other construction applications.
- Stockpile Mixtures & Patching: Can be used to produce patching or stockpile mixtures, as the lowered viscosity helps with mixing and handling.
- Waterproofing: Effective for waterproofing surfaces by plugging capillary voids and bonding loose mineral particles.
