What is MC-250 cutback bitumen used for?

MC-250 cutback bitumen is primarily used for road construction and maintenance including prime coats for base course preparation, surface dressing for preventive maintenance, tack coats between pavement layers, and penetration macadam construction.

What does medium curing mean?

Medium curing refers to the rate at which the solvent evaporates from cutback bitumen after application. MC grades contain intermediate volatility solvents that evaporate at a moderate rate, between rapid curing and slow curing grades.

Is MC-250 suitable for prime coat applications?

Yes, MC-250 is specifically designed and widely used for prime coat applications. Its medium viscosity allows for effective penetration into granular base courses, creating a waterproof bond between the base and subsequent pavement layers.

How is MC-250 cutback bitumen transported?

MC-250 is transported in sealed bulk tankers, steel drums, or IBC tanks. As a flammable product containing volatile solvents, it requires special handling and transportation compliance with dangerous goods regulations.

What is MC-250 Cutback Bitumen

MC-250 is a medium curing cutback bitumen classified according to its curing rate and viscosity characteristics. Cutback bitumen is produced by blending penetration grade bitumen with a volatile solvent, typically kerosene or light diesel oil. The solvent reduces the bitumen viscosity, making it suitable for cold or warm spray application without heating.

The 250 designation refers to the kinematic viscosity range of the base bitumen at 60 degrees Celsius, expressed in centistokes. MC-250 has a viscosity range of 125-275 cSt, making it suitable for spray applications in moderate climates. The medium curing classification indicates it evaporates at a moderate rate, suitable for prime coat and surface dressing applications.

MC-250 cutback bitumen is widely used for road construction and maintenance where heated application is impractical. Its reduced viscosity allows for easy spray application on road surfaces, providing an effective bond between the existing pavement and new asphalt layers.
