Q. What are cutback bitumen advantages?

Answer

The primary benefit of this bitumen is that it does not require heating before application. To create cutback bitumen, petroleum extracts including kerosene, naphtha, diesel oil, and furnace oil are mixed in at precise concentrations to act as solvents. There are benefits to using cutback bitumen instead of regular bitumen. The process of heating this low viscosity bitumen was halted once it had been produced because the heating requirements were satisfied by the volatile solvents in the reduced bitumen's composition. The only real issue was the damage that reclaimed bitumen was doing to the environment. Those flammable solvents were harmful to animals, people, and the planet.
