Details :

• Cutback Bitumen (Liquid Bitumen) is Bitumen dissolved in a petroleum solvent. Typical solvents include kerosene. The type of solvent controls the curing time and its ultimate strength while the amount of solvent affects the viscosity of the cutback Bitumen.

• Solvent is added to reduce the viscosity of the bitumen temporarily so that it can penetrate pavements more effectively or to allow spraying at temperatures that are too cold for successful sprayed sealing. The solvent bitumen will evaporate after the application to leave the remaining material similar in hardness to that of the original bitumen.

Applications : Priming and Tack Coating - Cutback bitumen's suitable for priming are also used for tack coats, which are applied to an underlying surface to help with the adhesion of subsequent asphalt layer. A typical application rate is between 0.2 and 0.4 L/m2 Primer Sealing - Where temperatures are too cool for an effective priming operation, or where traffic is likely to upset a primed surface before the final seal can be sprayed, a primer seal can be used to give adequate protection of the pavement for periods of up to 6 to 12 months. Cutback bitumen's suitable for primer sealing can also be used in the manufacture of pre-mix asphalt, which is used in patch repairs.
