MC 3000

General information of cutback bitumen MC-3000

Cutback bitumen MC-3000 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce the viscosity of the bitumen. The mixture obtained may be called cutback bitumen.
The reduction in viscosity of bitumen aids the construction of seal coats in road pavements as the softened mixture wets the chips more easily. The cutback agent evaporates from the seal coat, the cutback agent becoming a negligible component of the seal coat a few months after application. If significant amounts of the cutback agent remain in the seal coat an unwanted long-term softening effect may result.
Our Cutback Bitumen MC-3000 complies with cutback petroleum asphalts of the Medium-Curing type for use in the construction and treatment of pavements as per ASTM D2028-97 reapproved in2004Cutback Grade Bitumen is normally used in spraying and in some mixing applications. Cutback Bitumen is penetration grade bitumen blended with a solvent such as kerosene, white spirit, gasoline, and naphtha, controlling the curing time. Cut back petroleum asphalts of the rapid curing type supplied by jey pasargadCo are petroleum grade bitumen manufactured from the fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil blended with a solvent.The designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumens have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion rheology durability and application temperatures of bitumen. 

Uses of cutback bitumen MC-3000

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 agents are used to lowering 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.
bitumen MC-3000 consist of initial incorporation of asphalt into the surface of non-asphalt based course preparatory to any superimposed treatment of construction.
The asphalt MC3000 applying to waterproofing of surfaces, plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles . 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.

Differences of bitumen MC 3000 and MC30

The composition of MC 30 is generally a mixture of 58% penetration grade 80/100 and 42% kerosene. While, MC3000 is composed of 85% penetration grade 80/100 and 15% kerosene. MC 30 has the lowest viscosity among all grades of medium curing and MC 3000 has the highest viscosity.

Packing of cutback bitumen MC-3000

This cutback bitumen bulk in the tanker and also in new steel and thick drum on the pallet to prevent all leak inside of the container.

Safety of cutback bitumen MC-3000

Refer to Safety Data sheets before use.
Transport, use and store at the lowest temperature possible.
Eliminate all potential ignition sources during application.
Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with skin.
Always wear appropriate PPE including heat protection when used hot.
DO NOT allow product or washings to enter stormwater or sewer systems.

Guaranty/warranty of cutback asphalt MC3000

jey pasargad 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. jey pasargad guaranty the quality to meet with ASTM/EN 15322:2009
