Cutback asphalt, with gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and other solvents to dilute petroleum asphalt from the asphalt products, also known as light asphalt or liquid asphalt. The softening point of asphalt is high, it is not easy to dissolve in the solvent, the melting temperature is also high, and blending is not safe. Liquid petroleum asphalt viscosity is small, and good fluidity, painted in concrete, mortar wood, and other substrates, can quickly penetrate the pores of the grass-roots level, to be a volatile solvents, it will be firmly combined with the substrate. On the one hand, the substrate is hydrophobic, on the other hand, it is conducive to the bonding of similar waterproofing materials. It is used at room temperature, as a waterproofing project of the bottom layer.

 

 

Below, let's take a deeper understanding of the characteristics and application of Cutback asphalt. Because of its unique physical properties, diluted bitumen plays a vital role in construction, road building, and maintenance. It can be used as adhesives, sealants, waterproofing materials paving materials, etc. It is widely used in various engineering practices. Through rational selection and use, Cutback asphalt can effectively improve project quality, extend service life, and reduce maintenance costs.

 

In the construction process, we will use special asphalt equipment to realize the Cutback asphalt dilution and viscosity of the precise control to achieve our different needs.

 

Bitumen melting equipment:

 

In the production process of Cutback asphalt, bitumen melting equipment plays a key role. It can heat and melt the original asphalt base material to generate liquid asphalt for subsequent mixing and processing. The asphalt melting equipment usually adopts an electric or gas heating method, which can heat up quickly and maintain a constant temperature to ensure that the quality and performance of asphalt do not change. And through the control system adjusts the heating temperature and time to ensure the effect and quality of asphalt melting.

 

Cutback bitumen machine:

 

this is an important piece of equipment indispensable to the process of Cutback bitumen preparation. Its main function is to bitumen, solvents, and other additives such as kerosene, gasoline, diesel, etc. for uniform mixing, the production of Cutback asphalt in line with construction requirements. By controlling the speed and temperature of the colloid mill to ensure the quality and stability of Cutback asphalt.

Bitumen spreader:

 

Bitumen spreader is an important tool to realize the uniform spraying of Cutback asphalt. Through precise control of the angle of the nozzle and injection pressure, spray trucks can evenly cover the Cutback asphalt in the road surface or the corresponding construction location, forming a layer of waterproof, non-slip protective layer. This not only improves the performance of the pavement but also extends the service life of the pavement.

In the process of using Cutback asphalt, we should also pay attention to some key factors to ensure construction quality and safety. First of all, choosing the right diluent is crucial. According to the type of asphalt and construction requirements, select the appropriate solvent or co-solvent to obtain the best dilution effect, such as road construction we usually use kerosene as an additive. Secondly, it is very critical to determine the appropriate proportioning scheme. According to the viscosity of asphalt, the type of diluent, and construction requirements, develop a reasonable Cutback asphalt ratio program to ensure the performance and stability of Cutback asphalt. In addition, it is also essential to carry out construction operations in strict accordance with the construction requirements. This includes the correct mixing, stirring, transportation, and spraying steps to ensure that the construction quality meets the expected standards.
