Introduction of cutback bitumen MC3000

BACCO Bitumen MC3000 is the Medium-Curing type of cutback bitumen that is dissolved of bitumen in solvents of kerosene. In many countries, kerosene and other volatile petroleum-derived products are added as a cutter or cutback agent to bitumen to reduce (or cutback) the viscosity of the bitumen.

Applications

This kind of bitumen is normally used in the construction and treatment of pavements as per ASTM D2028-97 reapproved in 2004. Cutback-grade bitumen is normally used in spraying and in some mixing applications.

Hazard Identification

NOT classified as dangerous in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or EC 1272/2008.

The main hazards presented by Asphalt relate to the temperature of the material. The following hazards may apply:

- Hot materials may burn the skin.

- Fumes from Asphalt are unlikely to be hazardous when laid in open-air situations, but there may be a risk to health by continuous inhalation of high vapor concentrations which might arise in poorly ventilated, confined, or semi-confined spaces.

- Asphalt is not a dusty material, but respirable dust may be released by cutting, drilling, or planning hardened asphalt. If inhaled in excessive quantities over a prolonged period or extended period, respirable dust can constitute a long-term health hazard.

Dusts containing Respirable Crystalline Silica* (quartz) present a greater hazard. Long-term exposure to respirable dust can lead to respiratory system damage and disease. Respirable crystalline silica* has been associated with the lung disease silicosis.

The quartz content of the product will vary and is related to the type of aggregate used in the production of the asphalt. Advice on the quartz content and other chemical information is available from the supplying unit.

 

Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder, foam.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water. CO2 is also not suitable.

Special Exposure Hazards in Fire: Hydrocarbon fumes may be released, along with other hazardous combustion products including smoke.

Special Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Proper protective equipment including suitable respirators or breathing apparatus must be worn.

 

Handling and Storage

Handling:

Skin contact with the product should be avoided. Inhalation of fumes should be avoided as far as is reasonably practicable.

If the formation of vapors is a risk, then additional ventilation should be provided. Handle away from sources of ignition and heat. Do not smoke, eat or drink during use.

 

Storage:

No special requirements. Asphalt is normally used upon receipt.

Refer to the relevant Technical Data Sheet for the specific product.

 

Cleaning

Tools: Clean with kerosene and gasoline.

Hands: Use a hand cleanser or kerosene followed by soap and water.

Introduction of oxidized bitumen 105/15

BACCO Oxidized Bitumen 105/15 is the semi-solid oxidized grade of petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and is normally used for different purposes in the construction industries. Blown Bitumen 105/15 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by hot air. Bitumen RC105/15 which is produced in compliance and conformity with ASTM standards can be supplied in any grade and is designated by two numbers to indicate the softening point and penetration ranges.

Oxidized Bitumen is shown by R(SP)(PEN) in which SP is Softening and PEN is Penetration as a result R105/15 means an oxidized bitumen with Softening point=105 and Penetration=15.

Applications

Oxidized asphalt 105/15 used in the chemical, fuel, lacquers, varnishes, paint paper-pulp-board, textile processing, road construction, pavement, civil works, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, crack seal and repairmen, construction materials additive, dust-binding, insulating and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products. The asphalt R 105/15 products are for paving. also used in asphalt-based paints for corrosion protection of metals, in lining public works structures, adhesives in electrical laminates, the base for synthetic turf; typical uses for oxidized bitumen 105/15 used also for water-proof application and corrosion resistance for pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing, caulking, mastics, and damp proofing. Blown bitumen R 105/15 is using insulation and isolation bitumen membrane sheet. Also, the Car undercoating Automobile industry is especially required for Blown Asphalt. Vehicle undercoating material is based on Bitumen. Bitumen provides excellent waterproof, dustproof, and noise proof for automobile undercoating.

Notice: The oxidized bitumen should be heated at double temperature against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. 

 

 

Hazard Identification

NOT classified as dangerous in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or EC 1272/2008.

The main hazards presented by Asphalt relate to the temperature of the material. The following hazards may apply:

- Hot materials may burn the skin.

- Fumes from Asphalt are unlikely to be hazardous when laid in open-air situations, but there may be a risk to health by continuous inhalation of high vapor concentrations which might arise in poorly ventilated, confined, or semi-confined spaces.

- Asphalt is not a dusty material, but respirable dust may be released by cutting, drilling, or planning hardened asphalt. If inhaled in excessive quantities over a prolonged period or extended period, respirable dust can constitute a long-term health hazard.

Dusts containing Respirable Crystalline Silica* (quartz) present a greater hazard. Long-term exposure to respirable dust can lead to respiratory system damage and disease. Respirable crystalline silica* has been associated with the lung disease silicosis.

The quartz content of the product will vary and is related to the type of aggregate used in the production of the asphalt. Advice on the quartz content and other chemical information is available from the supplying unit.

 

 

Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder, foam.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water. CO2 is also not suitable.

Special Exposure Hazards in Fire: Hydrocarbon fumes may be released, along with other hazardous combustion products including smoke.

Special Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Proper protective equipment including suitable respirators or breathing apparatus must be worn.

 

 

Handling and Storage

Handling:

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS (when hot)

·        Wear suitable protective clothing (heat-resistant gauntlet gloves, overalls, protective footwear, face visor)

·        DO NOT allow water to contact hot material

·        DO NOT exceed the maximum safe heating temperature

 

If molten material contacts skin:

·        DO NOT attempt to remove

·        Immerse the affected area in cold running water for at least 10 minutes

·        Seek medical advice without delay
