Cutback Bitumen MC-30 General Information<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cutback Bitumen MC-30<\/strong> is a medium-curing asphalt that combines penetration-grade asphalt cement with a diluent or cutter of medium volatility, typically kerosene. The diluent temporarily reduces the asphalt’s viscosity, allowing for easier handling and application.<\/p>\n

This cutback bitumen is primarily used in road maintenance applications, particularly as a prime coat for base courses before the application of bituminous surface courses.<\/p>\n
