bitumen MC3000

description

Cutback Bitumen MC-3000 is a medium curing cutback bitumen consisting of penetration grade bitumen blended with solvent to control its curing time. They type of solvent controls the curing time while the amount determines the viscosity of the cutback bitumen. The solvent usually used to manufacture a medium curing cutback bitumen is kerosene.
The advantage of cutback bitumen have over emulsions is a much higher residual bitumen percent, typically over 80% compares with over 40-65% for bitumen emulsions. The result is more bitumen left on the roadway after curing, for the same volume of binder applied.
Our MC-3000 Cutback Bitumen complies with the ASTM D2028-97 standards for construction and treatment of pavements.

applications

Cutback bitumen MC-3000 is suitable for primer sealing and can also be used in the manufacturing of asphalt pre-mix. Cutback bitumen are used extensively in sprayed sealing applications, particularly in colder weather where they proved improved initial stone retention due to their lower viscosity. Typically, a single application of the appropriate cutback bitumen is sprayed onto the primed pavement onto which aggregate is laid.
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. Kerosene is used as a bitumen cutback agent at different concentrations according to local conditions and requirements.
The cutback bitumen is ideal for prime coat and cold applied because of easy uses and no need to thinning and heating. Cutback bitumen MC3000 consist of initial incorporation of asphalt into the surface of non-asphalt based course preparatory to any superimposed treatment of construction. The cutback asphalt MC3000 applying to waterproofing of surfaces, plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles.

Specification

MC-3000 is a cutback bitumen which is a penetration bitumen asphalt blended with kerosene. Kerosene and other petroleum derived products are added as cutback agents reducing the viscosity. MC-3000 means solvent is medium caring which express that the solvent will vapor at medium speed. During applying the MC-3000 cutback bitumen, the solvent evaporates so the residue demonstrates perfect adhesion. The bituminous cutback asphalt MC-3000 is recommended to use for road construction.
Guaranty/warranty of cutback asphalt MC3000: ATDM guaranty the quality of cutback MC3000 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
