Liquid bitumen CUTBACK
Cutback bitumen
Cutback bitumen means one section or cut return back. Bitumen is liquid and when you take the hydrocarbon from the bitumen it will get soft or hard so by adding solvent to the bitumen will convert to liquid form but under special specification of condition. Sometimes you need to quickly get cure and dry the solvent should be choose accordingly. There is different grade of cutback called Slow Curing, Medium Curing and Rapid Curing.
Cutback bitumen MC 30
In many places, cutback asphalt use is restricted to patching materials for use in cold weather
cutback MC-30 is medium curing (MC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of medium volatility. The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement for ease of handling and application. After application the diluent evaporates, leaving asphalt cement to perform its function Petrochemical Trade Cutback MC-30 conforms to the specifications of ASTM D2127 (Medium-Curing Asphalt) or AASHTO M82The major use for Petrochemical Trade Cutback MC-30 is in the road maintenance industry where it is used as a prime coat of the base course prior to placing of the bituminous surface course. Its purpose is to bind the granular material of the base course to the asphalt layer. Usual application is by spray using a distributor.

Cutback bitumen RC 30
Cutback bitumen RC30 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. In many countries kerosene and other volatile petroleum derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen. The mixture obtained may be called cutback bitumen.
The reduction in viscosity of the
bitumen RC 30 aids the construction of seal coats in road pavements as the softened mixture wets the chips more easily. The cutback agent evaporates from the seal coat, the cutback agent becoming a negligible component of the 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.
