Manufacturer of cutback bitumen medium curing MC 3000

Enhance Your Road Construction with Bitumen MC3000

At Basekim, we understand the importance of choosing the right materials for construction and maintenance projects. Therefore, we proudly offer Bitumen MC3000, a high-viscosity cutback bitumen that provides outstanding performance for various road applications. Notably, MC3000 excels in tack coating for grit seals, sand seals, Otta seals, and single seals on lightly trafficked roads. Additionally, it performs exceptionally well in winter conditions, making it a versatile choice for year-round use. Let’s explore how Bitumen MC3000 stands out and why it’s the go-to solution for professionals in road construction.

Key Features of Bitumen MC3000

bitumen MC3000 boasts a high binder content, which plays a crucial role in its impressive performance. The cutter ensures optimal wetting of the cover aggregates, enabling the bitumen to create a film that guarantees strong adhesion to the base. As a result, it enhances road durability while ensuring a secure bond between the new asphalt and the existing road surface. Thanks to its consistency, Bitumen MC3000 delivers reliable results in various conditions, helping you achieve long-lasting road repairs.

Application Guidelines for Bitumen MC3000

To ensure the best possible results with Bitumen MC3000, it’s important to follow a few essential guidelines during the application process:

1. Apply with Precision: Begin by using a calibrated distributor to spray the binder. Make sure the spray temperature is 135°C and that the road surface temperature is at least 15°C and rising.
2. Handle with Caution: Bitumen MC3000 contains flammable cutters, so extra care is necessary during heating. Keep in mind that the flash point exceeds 40°C, which requires careful handling to prevent accidents.
3. Weather Considerations: Keep in mind that curing time will depend largely on the weather conditions. Hotter, drier weather will speed up curing, while cooler and wetter conditions will slow it down.

By following these instructions, you ensure an efficient application process that maximizes the performance of MC3000.

Distinguishing Bitumen MC30 from MC3000

It’s important to understand how Bitumen MC30 differs from MC3000 to make an informed choice for your specific needs. While MC30 is composed of 58% penetration-grade 80/100 and 42% kerosene, MC3000 has a composition of 85% penetration-grade 80/100 and 15% kerosene. This difference results in MC3000 having a significantly higher viscosity, which makes it ideal for heavy-duty applications. In contrast, MC30, with its lower viscosity, is more suitable for lighter tasks. Therefore, for projects requiring strong adhesion and durability, MC3000 is the optimal solution.

Versatile Uses of Bitumen MC3000

Bitumen MC3000 proves to be an incredibly versatile product, with applications that extend beyond basic road maintenance. For example, it is ideal for:

• Priming Road Surfaces: MC3000’s ability to lower viscosity makes it an excellent primer for road pavement aggregates, ensuring proper adhesion between layers.
• Cold Application: Since Bitumen_MC3000 doesn’t require thinning or excessive heating, it is easy to apply in cold conditions.
• Waterproofing and Bonding: Bitumen MC_3000 effectively waterproofs surfaces, plugs capillary voids, and bonds loose mineral particles, significantly improving the longevity of road surfaces.

With its broad range of uses, MC3000 is the go-to solution for professionals who demand reliability and versatility.
