Alkenza supplies MC-70 medium curing cutback bitumen for road construction and pavement preparation applications. MC-70 is produced by blending penetration grade bitumen with controlled amounts of petroleum solvent, resulting in lower viscosity for cold weather application and prime coat operations. Available in bulk tanker, steel drums, and IBC containers with FOB and CIF delivery worldwide.
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.
Penetrates base course for improved adhesion.
No heating required, reducing costs.
Seals aggregate base from moisture penetration.
Stabilizes unpaved road surfaces temporarily.

MC-70 cutback bitumen pricing reflects base bitumen costs and solvent market conditions.
MC-70 contains 15-35% petroleum solvent, which affects pricing relative to penetration grade bitumen. Solvent market prices directly influence final product cost.
MC-70 pricing correlates with base penetration grade bitumen costs as the primary raw material component. Crude oil market movements affect final pricing.
Government road construction spending drives MC-70 demand for prime coat and pavement preparation applications.
Cold-weather construction seasons create peak demand periods. Advance procurement during off-peak seasons can secure better pricing.
