The main applications of Bitumen MC70 revolve around road construction and maintenance, especially where lower application temperatures are needed due to its medium-curing properties. Here are the primary uses:

1. Prime Coating: One of the main applications of MC70 is as a prime coat in road construction. It is applied on the base course (granular layer) of roads to penetrate and bind loose particles, preparing the surface for subsequent layers of asphalt or other materials. The medium-curing nature allows time for adequate penetration before the solvent evaporates.
2. Tack Coating: Used as a tack coat to provide a bond between an existing pavement layer and a new asphalt layer. It helps ensure proper adhesion and a strong interface between different layers of the pavement.
3. Surface Dressing: Applied in surface dressing for low-traffic roads or parking areas. It helps create a waterproof layer and protects the road surface from further deterioration. MC70 provides the necessary fluidity to bind aggregate materials effectively.
4. Cold Mix Asphalt: Used in the production of cold mix asphalt, where bitumen is mixed with aggregate at ambient temperatures. This makes it suitable for temporary repairs or for use in areas where heating facilities may not be available.
5. Dust Control: Sometimes used in dust control applications, particularly for unpaved roads. The bitumen binds with loose particles, reducing dust levels.

Bitumen MC70 is primarily used for prime and tack coats, surface dressing, and cold mix asphalt in road construction and maintenance. Its medium-curing nature makes it suitable for projects requiring moderate curing times and application at lower temperatures, providing flexibility and ease of use in various environments.

Packing cutback bitumen is an essential process to ensure its safe transportation, storage, and handling. The method of packing often depends on the type of cutback bitumen, the transportation method, and the end-use. Here are the various methods used to pack cutback bitumen:
