What is Cutback Bitumen MC-30?
MC-30 Cutback Bitumen is a medium-curing asphalt produced by blending penetration grade bitumen with kerosene or other petroleum solvents to reduce viscosity for easy application.
This makes MC-30 ideal for road construction and maintenance projects in Kenya, especially as a prime coat before laying asphalt surfaces.
At Roadway Solutions, we supply high-quality MC-30 Cutback Bitumen in Kenya that meets ASTM D2028 standards, ensuring durability, strong adhesion, and reliable performance on Kenyan roads.
Applications of MC-30 Bitumen in Kenya
MC-30 is widely used by road contractors, county governments, and infrastructure companies for:
✔ Prime coat application on base courses
✔ Road maintenance & patching works
✔ Cold weather asphalt applications
✔ Penetrating granular base layers
✔ Waterproofing road surfaces
✔ Bonding loose aggregates before asphalt laying
In Kenya, MC-30 is commonly used in projects supervised by organizations like:
- Kenya National Highways Authority
- Kenya Urban Roads Authority
- Kenya Rural Roads Authority
These agencies specify cutback bitumen for prime coats and maintenance works across Kenyan highways, urban roads, and rural access roads.
Why Use MC-30 Cutback Bitumen?
✔ Easy Application
MC-30 has reduced viscosity, so it can be sprayed without heavy heating.
✔ Strong Bonding
It penetrates the base course and binds aggregates firmly to the asphalt layer.
✔ Faster Construction
Ideal for Kenyan road projects where quick turnaround is needed.
✔ Weather Flexibility
Works well in cooler climates and early-morning applications.
