BITUMEN CUTBACK RC-70

Product description

Cutback Bitumen (Liquid Bitumen) is Bitumen dissolved in a petroleum solvent. Typical solvents include naphtha (gasoline) and kerosene. The type of solvent controls the curing time and its ultimate strength.. while the amount of solvent affects the viscosity of the cutback Bitumen.
Solvent is added to reduce the viscosity of the bitumen temporarily so that it can penetrate pavements more effectively or to allow spraying at temperatures that are too cold for successful sprayed sealing. The solvent bitumen will evaporate after the application to leave the remaining material similar in hardness to that of the original bitumen.
