Cutback Bitumen SC-800

Cutback Bitumen Slow Curing 800 (SC-800) is a high-viscosity form of cutback bitumen that has been mixed with a slow-evaporating petroleum solvent to lower its viscosity for easier application at lower temperatures. The slow-curing property is due to the use of heavier oils, such as diesel or kerosene, which evaporate slowly, allowing more time for the bitumen to penetrate and bond with the aggregate or surface materials.

Main Applications Of Cutback Bitumen SC-800

The main applications of Cutback Bitumen Slow Curing (SC-800) are in heavy-duty road construction, maintenance, and repair, especially where thicker bitumen layers and extended curing times are required. Key applications include:

Prime Coating: Cutback Bitumen SC-800 is used as a prime coat to prepare road base surfaces for asphalt paving. Its high viscosity ensures deep penetration into the base layer, creating a strong bond between the base and subsequent asphalt layers.
Surface Dressing: In surface dressing, Cutback Bitumen SC-800 is sprayed onto road surfaces and covered with aggregate to form a durable and protective layer. Its slow curing allows for better bonding, making it ideal for roads that endure heavy traffic.
Cold Mix Asphalt: Cutback Bitumen SC-800 is applied in cold mix asphalt formulations for repairing roads, filling potholes, and sealing cracks. Its high viscosity makes it suitable for thicker repairs and more demanding road conditions.
Gravel Road and Base Course Stabilization: SC-800 is effective in stabilizing unpaved or gravel roads, especially those subjected to heavy loads and traffic. Its slow-curing properties allow for deeper penetration into loose materials, enhancing road stability.
Heavy-Duty Road Construction: Cutback Bitumen SC-800 is commonly used in the construction of base courses for highways and heavy-duty roads, where its high viscosity and slow curing provide superior bonding and long-term strength.

Various Packing Method for Cutback Bitumen SC800
