BS group Bitumen MC250 is medium curing (MC) cut-back asphalt consisting of penetration grade asphalt cement and diluent or cutter of medium volatility.
The diluent temporarily reduces the viscosity of the asphalt cement for ease of handling and application. After application, the diluent evaporates, leaving asphalt cement to perform its function. MC–250 bitumen viscosity is between 250-500 CST. Cutback bitumen MC-250 is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene.
Typical properties of bitumen MC250
BS group guaranty quality of cutback MC-250 with arrangement of international inspector. By checking quality and quantity of bitumen on each shipment during loading to vessel. Also controlling the production by QC team via batch test report before shipping.
Here are properties of BS group Bitumen cutback MC250 which is classified by ASTM/EN15322:2009.

Applications
This kind of bitumen is suitable to be used in the construction and treatment of pavements as per ASTM D2028-97 reapproved in 2004. Cutback Grade Bitumen is normally used in spraying and in some mixing applications.
In addition, cutback asphalt MC-250 applying to waterproofing of surfaces, plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles.
The cutback asphalt MC-250 applying to waterproofing of surfaces plug capillary voids, coat and bond loose mineral particles Also, Cutback MC-250 use in Roofing – As a waterproofing membrane and as an adhesive to stick chippings onto a flat, horizontal roof to minimize the effects of weathering from the sun.
Damp-Proof Courses – Used as damp-proof membranes in concrete floors particularly for small repairs or where extensions are keyed-in to existing structures.
