Bitumen SC 250

General information of cutback bitumen SC-250

Cutback asphalt is an asphalt cement that has a solvent or distillate such as gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, or naphtha added to make the asphalt liquid at ambient temperatures and improve its ability to coat aggregates. Two letters followed by a numerical digit designate or name a cutback asphalt.
Cutback asphalt can contain between 12 and 40 percent distillate. The high demand for distillates in energy applications, combined with increasingly strict air quality regulations, drives a steady decline in the use of cutback asphalt. Moreover, SC liquid asphalt offers an alternative by blending asphalt cement with less volatile distillates like gas oil. For instance, SC-70 and SC-250 grade cutback asphalts closely resemble residual refinery products, such as heavy fuel oils like bunker C or Number Six fuel oils. Additionally, SC cutback materials, whether produced directly or fluxed with non-volatile substances like gas oil, are commonly referred to as “road oils.” This versatile classification highlights their importance in various applications.

Uses of cutback bitumen SC-250

Current common uses are in penetrating prime coats and in producing patching or stockpile mixtures. Cutback asphalt used in mixing with aggregate will usually contain an adhesion agent to assist in the coating of the aggregate surface.
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 SC-250 consist of initial incorporation of asphalt into the surface of non-asphalt based course preparatory to any superimposed treatment of construction.
The cutback asphalt SC-250 applying to waterproofing of surfaces plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles.

Packing of cutback bitumen SC-250

Packing of cutback bitumen SC-250 is in the new thick steel drum on the pallet to prevent any leak inside of container also bulk in bitutainers and tanker.

Safety of cutback bitumen SC-250
