Description
Cutback Bitumen Slow Curing (SC)30
General Description of Cutback Bitumen SC30
Cutback Bitumen SC30 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. many countries derive kerosene and other volatile petroleum products and add as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The mixture obtained call cutback bitumen.
In addition the reduction in viscosity of the bitumen aids the construction of seal coats in road pavements as the softened mixture wets the chips more easily.
Cutback agent evaporates from seal coat, it becoming a negligible component of seal coat a few months after application. If significant amounts of the cutback agent remain in the seal coat an unwanted long term softening effect may result.
Uses of Cutback Bitumen SC-30
consist of initial incorporation of asphalt into the surface of non-asphalt based course preparatory to any superimposed treatment of construction.
Most of all the cutback asphalt SC-30 applying to waterproofing of surfaces, plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles.
Cutback agents are used to lower the viscosity of bitumen when it is applied as a primer to the surface of a road pavement aggregate base course or substrate.
We use Kerosene as a bitumen cutback agent at different concentrations according to local conditions and requirements.
Cutback bitumen is ideal for prime coat and cold applied because easy uses. Also it don`t need to thinning and heating.
Guaranty/warranty of cutback asphalt SC30
PUB-LTD guaranty the quality of cutback SC-30 with arrangement of international inspector. By check quality and quantity of the bitumen on each shipment during the loading to vessel. Also controlling production by QC team via batch test report before shipping. PUB-LTD guaranty the quality to meet with ASTM/EN15322:2009
Packing of Cutback Bitumen SC-30
Packing of Cutback Bitumen SC-30 is in new thick steel drum. This drums are on pallet to prevent any leak inside of container. Also bulk in bitutainer and tanker is possible.
