Bitumen MC70 liquid solvent base

Bitumen MC70 products have been used many years in the maintenance and repair of road surfaces, and isolation but road surface is  used much more widely than the other usage and named liquid asphalt MC70, commonly called \”asphalt medium curing\” or \”tack oil\” (which has carried the commercial designations: MC70)

Road surface by MC70

However, tack oil bitumen MC70 has many shortcomings making it less than an effective road surface repair product.In repairing pot holes or filling cracks in existing asphalt road surfaces, tack oil is strictly a \”gluing\” process or a \”tacking\” of new asphalt to the old. There is no homogeneous admixture of the new with the old asphalt.

How to use MC70 in roads.

Weather and climate conditions must be near \”perfect\” for the application of tack oil, which at best allows for only a minimal time until replacement again is necessitated. Tack oil cannot be used in cold or wet weather or on wet surfaces. Also, tack oil repair of road surfaces requires a multiple highway crew to apply the asphalt and the use of expensive equipment. The bitumen MC70 must be pre-heated to 250 degrees F for 2-3 hours before application, then applied and the overlaying asphalt rolled or tamped in place to form a smooth surface.

Alternatively, a top dressing can be applied to provide a flexible, tough, abrasion-resistant surface. The resultant surface functions as a wear course in which a further increase in the compressive and tensile strengths of the base course have been increased. Colors, such as green or black, may be added to the top dressing to yield an appearance which is aesthetically pleasing or functional. After curing the bitumen, the dressing forms a surface suitable for moderate airport traffic, highway traffic, or helicopter touchdown areas.
