Cutback Bitumen RC-3000
Cutback Bitumen RC-3000 is a rapid-curing (RC) asphalt produced by blending petroleum-grade bitumen with a high-volatile solvent such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or naphtha.
This reduction in viscosity promotes the ease of application of the bitumen at ambient temperatures and enhances its coating ability on aggregates. Rapid Curing RC-3000 is used primarily in pavement construction and treatment, i.e., prime coats, patching mixes, and surface treatments.
Cutback rc3000 is primarily used for the following applications:
- Prime Coats: Ideal for preparing the surface of road pavements before subsequent treatment or construction.
- Cold Applied Pavement Seals: Used in surface treatments such as single or multiple surface treatments, and sand seals.
- Penetrating Prime Coats: Used for penetrating and bonding to open-graded aggregate surfaces.
- Patching and Stockpile Mixtures: Used in the production of durable patching mixtures for road repairs.
- Waterproofing: Used in waterproofing applications, sealing capillary voids, and binding loose mineral particles.
- The lower viscosity of RC-3000 makes it possible to apply it in road construction, facilitating the simple application of bitumen on surfaces and improving aggregate coating, adhesion, and bonding.
Benefits of Bitumen RC3000:
- Easy Application: No thinning or heating is needed, hence easy to apply, especially in cold or remote locations.
- Rapid Curing: Solvent evaporates rapidly, leaving a strong and durable bond.
- Better Aggregate Coating: The reduced viscosity enhances the bitumen’s ability to coat aggregates, which extends the life and durability of the surface.
