Description
Cutback Bitumen is dissolved in a solvent. Typical solvents include Naphtha, Gasoline and Kerosene, White Spirit etc. The type of solvent controls the Curing time while the amount determines the viscosity of the Cutback Asphalt. This is done to reduce the viscosity of the Bitumen temporarily so it can penetrate pavements more effectively or to allow spraying at temperatures that are too cold for successful sprayed sealing with neat bitumen. The materials used to Cutback bitumen will evaporate after application to leave the remaining material similar in hardness to the original bitumen.

Depending on the product
Application
involves applying a thinned-down mixture of bitumen and solvent to a road surface using specialized equipment. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind the bitumen material to bond with the road surface. It is easier to handle and apply, can be used in colder weather, but is more flammable and emits more VOCs than other bitumen types.
