Discover the Power of Bitumen MC800 for Road Construction

At Basekim, we recognize the challenges that come with road construction in colder climates. Therefore, we proudly offer Bitumen MC800, a premium cutback bitumen that stands out due to its remarkable performance, especially when temperatures drop. This product excels in cold weather conditions, making it the ideal solution for road surfacing and pavement applications, even when traditional methods are impractical. Let’s explore why Bitumen MC800 is the best choice for your next construction project.

What is Bitumen MC800?

Bitumen MC800 is created by incorporating controlled amounts of petroleum distillates, such as kerosene, into bitumen. As a result, this process temporarily lowers the bitumen’s viscosity, allowing it to penetrate the surface more effectively. Subsequently, once applied, the solvent gradually evaporates, leaving behind a strong and durable bitumen layer. Moreover, the unique composition of Bitumen MC800 enables it to perform exceptionally well in cooler temperatures. Therefore, it becomes the preferred choice for regions where traditional heating methods may not be adequate.

Why Choose Bitumen MC800?

Bitumen MC800 delivers a range of benefits that make it the top choice for road construction projects, especially in colder climates. Below are the key reasons why it stands out:

1. Cold Weather Performance: Unlike many other bitumens, Bitumen MC800 works seamlessly even in cold temperatures. When the weather gets chilly, traditional heating methods may not be effective, but MC800 ensures smooth application without the need for extensive heating equipment. Therefore, it is perfect for colder regions where consistent heat isn’t available.

2. Enhanced Penetration and Adhesion: Thanks to its reduced viscosity, MC800 easily penetrates road surfaces, creating a solid bond. This ability improves the adhesion between new asphalt and the existing road, resulting in a long-lasting, durable surface.

3. Quick Evaporation for Stronger Surface: After application, the solvents in Bitumen MC800 evaporate, leaving behind a surface that retains the original bitumen’s properties. Consequently, the final layer is consistent and hardened, providing excellent durability and resistance to wear and tear.

4. waterproofing and Bonding: Bitumen MC800 is also ideal for waterproofing. It effectively seals capillary voids, bonds loose particles, and coats the surface to prevent water penetration. As a result, it ensures that the road remains protected and resistant to water damage.

How to Apply Bitumen MC800 in Road Construction

Applying Bitumen MC800 is simple and efficient, which is another reason why it’s a preferred choice. Here’s how to get the best results:

• Use a Calibrated Distributor: For uniform application, distribute the bitumen using a calibrated distributor. This ensures proper binder coverage across the surface, guaranteeing optimal performance.

• Ideal Application Temperature: Apply Bitumen MC800 at a binder spray temperature of 135°C while ensuring that the road surface is at least 15°C or higher. By following these guidelines, you’ll achieve the best adhesion and surface bonding, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

• Minimal Need for Heating Equipment: Unlike traditional bitumen, Bitumen_MC800 doesn’t require elaborate heating systems, reducing both time and costs. This feature makes it an excellent option for areas where heating infrastructure is limited or unavailable.
