General Information of Bitumen MC-800
Bitumen MC-800, a medium-curing cutback asphalt, is broadly utilized in road projects and waterproofing tasks. It contains penetration grade asphalt cement mixed with solvents like kerosene, which decreases its thickness for easier handling and spreading. Moreover, after application, the solvent disappears, leaving strong asphalt cement to work efficiently. In addition, this process ensures durability and resilience.
Applications in Road Building
Bitumen MC-800 is frequently used for road surfaces and pavement jobs. Therefore, its lower thickness helps in sealing coats, greatly boosting chip sticking. Furthermore, the solvent vanishes over time, leaving a tough asphalt layer. However, if leftover solvent stays, it might cause undesired softening effects. Consequently, careful application is crucial. Besides, it aids in enhancing road longevity.
Packaging Details
Bitumen MC-800 comes in new thick steel drums on pallets to stop leaks. Additionally, it’s available in bulk using bitutainers and tankers for big projects, ensuring ease and safety during moving. Moreover, this packaging reduces spillage risks. Also, it simplifies storage and handling.
Common Uses
Bitumen MC-800 works well for prime coats, patching, and stockpile mixes. It improves waterproofing, seals tiny voids, and sticks loose mineral bits together. Besides, it’s handy for roofing, serving as both a waterproof layer and glue for chippings. Additionally, it offers versatility in construction tasks. Moreover, it enhances structural integrity in various environments.
Safety Tips
Check the Safety Data Sheets before using. To reduce risks, keep it cool and away from fires. Also, always wear proper protective gear, avoid breathing vapors, and keep it off your skin. Moreover, make sure it doesn’t get into stormwater or sewers to prevent harm. In addition, proper ventilation during use is highly recommended. Furthermore, store it in a well-marked area for safety.
