General description of bitumen MC 30
Bitumen MC30 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. In many countries, people add kerosene and other volatile petroleum-based products to bitumen as a cutter to reduce its viscosity. The mixture obtained may be called cutback bitumen or liquid bitumen MC30.
Reducing bitumen viscosity helps construct seal coats in road pavements. The softened mixture wets the chips easily. The cutback agent then evaporates within a few months, leaving only a negligible amount. If too much remains, the seal coat may stay soft for a long time.
Uses of liquified bitumen MC30
Workers use cutback agents to lower bitumen viscosity when applying it as a primer on a road pavement base. Kerosene serves as a cutback agent in varying concentrations based on local needs. The liquefied bitumen works well for prime coats and cold applications because it requires no thinning or heating. Liquid bitumen MC30 helps asphalt penetrate non-asphalt surfaces before further construction treatments.
The cutback bitumen MC30 applying to waterproofing of surfaces, plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles.
Packing of liquid bitumen MC 30
Packing of liquid bitumen MC30 is in new thick steel drum on pallet to prevent any leak inside of container also bulk in bitutainer and tanker.
Guaranty/warranty of cutback MC30
ATDM guaranty the quality of liquid MC30 with arrangement of international inspector to check quality and quantity of the bitumen on each shipment during the loading to vessel and controlling the production by QC team via batch test report before shipping. ATDM guaranty the quality to meet with ASTM/EN 15322:2009
