Overview

Balanced cure time for patching and paving

Cutback MC 30 is a medium-curing cutback bitumen: penetration-grade bitumen thinned with kerosene so it can be applied without heating. The grade name gives the minimum kinematic viscosity at 60°C (30 mm²/s).

A medium-volatility solvent such as kerosene gives a balanced cure. The binder stays workable long enough to mix with aggregate and then sets as the solvent evaporates.

Black Rock Bitumen supplies Cutback MC 30 from Dubai to contractors, EPC companies and road maintenance agencies across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

  • Kerosene-type solvent with a medium cure
  • Workable long enough to mix with aggregate
  • Applied without heating the bitumen
  • Good penetration into granular bases (lower grades)
