ASA BITUMEN,as the largest producer and exporter of bitumen, offers Bitumen MC250, a medium-curing (MC) cutback bitumen in which the designation “250” indicates its viscosity grade. In this product, ASA BITUMEN blends high-quality bitumen with a medium-volatile solvent such as kerosene to reduce viscosity, allowing easy handling and application at relatively low temperatures. After application, the solvent gradually evaporates, and the residual ASA BITUMEN bitumen remains in place to act as an effective and durable binder.
