ASA BITUMEN,as the largest producer and exporter of bitumen, offers Cutback Bitumen MC70, a medium-curing (MC) grade in which the designation “70” represents its viscosity level. This product is manufactured by blending high-quality bitumen with a suitable solvent such as kerosene to reduce viscosity, making it easier to handle and apply at lower temperatures. After application, the solvent gradually evaporates, leaving behind a solid and durable bitumen residue that effectively binds construction materials and ensures reliable pavement performance.
