The main applications of Cutback Bitumen Rapid Curing 70 (RC-70) are in road construction and maintenance, particularly where quick setting and effective bonding are essential. Key applications include:

1. Prime Coating: Cutback Bitumen RC-70 is often used as a prime coat on granular or unbound surfaces to prepare them for asphalt layers, promoting strong adhesion.
2. Surface Dressing: It is applied in surface dressing, where it is sprayed onto road surfaces and then covered with aggregate to create a durable, protective layer.
3. Cold Mix Asphalt: Cutback Bitumen RC-70 is utilized in cold mix asphalt for repairing potholes and other surface defects, allowing for quick repairs without the need for heating.
4. Dust Control: It can be used to control dust on unpaved roads by binding loose particles together, enhancing road surface stability.
5. Crack Sealing: Cutback Bitumen RC-70 is effective for sealing cracks in pavements, preventing moisture infiltration and extending the lifespan of the road.
6. Chip Sealing: It is used in chip sealing applications to provide a quick-setting binder for the aggregate, improving road surface texture and durability.

Cutback Bitumen RC-70’s rapid curing and easy application make it ideal for projects requiring fast results and strong bonding, especially in varying weather conditions.

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:
