Cutback Bitumen SC-3000

Cutback Bitumen Slow Curing 3000 (SC-3000) is a high-viscosity type of cutback bitumen that has been blended with a slow-evaporating petroleum solvent. This higher viscosity makes SC-3000 suitable for applications requiring thicker layers of bitumen and enhanced performance in heavy-duty scenarios.

Main Applications Of Cutback Bitumen SC-3000

The main applications of Cutback Bitumen Slow Curing 3000 (SC-3000) are in heavy-duty road construction and maintenance, where high viscosity and extended curing times are essential. Key applications include:

Prime Coating: Cutback Bitumen SC-3000 is used as a prime coat on granular or unbound bases to prepare the surface for asphalt layers, ensuring strong adhesion.
Surface Dressing: It is applied in surface dressing to create a thick, durable layer on road surfaces, capable of withstanding heavy traffic and environmental conditions.
Cold Mix Asphalt: Cutback Bitumen SC-3000 is utilized in cold mix asphalt for patching and repairing large road defects, providing a robust and long-lasting repair solution.
Stabilization of Heavy-Duty Roads: It is effective for stabilizing unpaved or gravel roads that bear heavy loads, enhancing their durability and structural integrity.
Base Course Construction: Cutback Bitumen SC-3000 is employed in constructing base courses for highways, airport runways, and industrial roads, where its high viscosity offers excellent bonding and strength.
Heavy Load-Bearing Road Construction: This grade is suitable for constructing roads that need to withstand extreme traffic or heavy loads, such as industrial access roads or port areas.

Cutback Bitumen SC-3000's characteristics make it ideal for projects requiring thick layers of bitumen and exceptional performance under demanding conditions.
