MC 800

Cutback Medium Curing 800 (MC800) is a high-viscosity liquid bitumen specifically designed for heavy-duty road construction and maintenance projects. With its medium-curing properties, it provides exceptional adhesion and durability, making it ideal for creating stable and long-lasting road surfaces.

What is Cutback Medium Curing 800?

The term Cutback Medium Curing 800 refers to a type of cutback bitumen blended with petroleum solvents to achieve a balance between fluidity and stability. The “800” denotes its higher kinematic viscosity, making it suitable for demanding applications such as base stabilization and dense surface treatments.

Features of MC800

1. Medium Curing Rate:

   • The petroleum solvent evaporates at a moderate speed, allowing enough time for proper application and bonding.

2. High Viscosity:

   • The thick consistency ensures excellent performance on heavy-duty roads and high-traffic areas.

3. Strong Adhesion:

   • Creates a durable bond between layers, enhancing the road’s structural integrity.

Applications of Cutback MC800

1. Base Stabilization:

   • Ideal for stabilizing granular base layers, ensuring they can withstand heavy loads.

2. Surface Treatment:

   • Used in surface dressing to protect roads from water damage and extend their lifespan.

3. Road Maintenance:

   • Perfect for repairing cracks and potholes in existing pavements.

Benefits of Using MC800

• Durable Performance:

  • With its high viscosity, MC800 ensures long-lasting stability in high-stress environments.

• Energy Efficient:

  • Requires minimal heating, reducing fuel costs and environmental impact.

• Versatile Applications:

  • Suitable for both new constructions and maintenance projects.

Like other medium-curing cutback bitumens, MC800 contains petroleum solvents that may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Following proper handling and application guidelines can mitigate environmental risks.
