DESCRIPTION
MC 30 is a blend of medium curing petroleum cutter and penetration grade bitumen.
USES
MC 30 is used for priming newly constructed crushed stone or natural gravel base courses prior to surfacing.
PROPERTIES
MC 30 is blended to a low viscosity to ensure that it penetrates the top 10 mm of the base with the aid of the cutter whilst
depositing a film of bitumen on the surface to provide adhesion between the base course and the new surfacing.
SPECIFICATIONS
MC 30 conforms to SABS 308 specification for cutback bitumen.
