What is MC-70 Cutback Bitumen

MC-70 cutback bitumen is a medium curing cutback bitumen produced by blending penetration grade bitumen with controlled amounts of petroleum distillate solvent, typically kerosene or naphtha. The solvent temporarily reduces the bitumen viscosity, making it suitable for cold application without heating. As the solvent evaporates after application, the bitumen returns to its original consistency, binding with the road base.

The medium curing classification indicates the rate at which the solvent evaporates from the cutback. MC-70 falls between slow-curing (SC) and rapid-curing (RC) cutbacks, making it suitable for a wide range of climate conditions and application methods. It is particularly effective in cooler temperatures where hot mix applications are impractical.

MC-70 cutback bitumen is primarily used for prime coat applications where it penetrates and seals the aggregate base before asphalt paving. It improves adhesion between the base course and subsequent pavement layers while providing waterproofing and dust control.

Prime Coat

Penetrates base course for improved adhesion.

Cold Application

No heating required, reducing costs.

Waterproofing

Seals aggregate base from moisture penetration.

Dust Control

Stabilizes unpaved road surfaces temporarily.
