Cutback Bitumen MC-800 | High-Performance Road Construction Binder by Pars Bitumen

 

Introduction

Cutback Bitumen MC-800 is a medium-curing bituminous product widely used in road construction and surface treatment applications. At Pars Bitumen, we manufacture and supply premium-grade MC-800 that ensures excellent coating, durability, and performance in various climatic conditions. Our product is designed to meet international standards and deliver superior adhesion for both new and maintenance road projects.

What Is Cutback Bitumen MC-800?

Cutback Bitumen MC-800 is produced by blending penetration-grade bitumen with kerosene-type solvents. This mixture reduces the viscosity of the bitumen, allowing it to be applied at lower temperatures. Once applied, the solvent evaporates, leaving a strong, durable bituminous film that binds aggregates effectively.

It is categorized as a medium-curing (MC) cutback type, ideal for road construction activities requiring moderate drying time and excellent workability.

Applications of MC-800

Pars Bitumen’s MC-800 Cutback Bitumen is perfect for:

Prime coats on granular bases before asphalt application

Tack coats between bituminous layers

Surface dressing and patch repair works

Cold-mix asphalt production

Dust suppression on unpaved roads and airfields

This versatile product ensures strong adhesion between aggregates and bituminous layers, resulting in long-lasting road surfaces.
