Cutback asphalt definition

Cutback asphalt means asphalt cement which has been liquefied by blending with petroleum solvents (diluents). Upon exposure to atmospheric conditions, the diluents evaporate, leaving the asphalt cement to perform its function.

Cutback asphalt means a mixture of asphalt and petroleum solvents (distillates), produced by blending those materials or by distilling petroleum.

Cutback asphalt means any asphalt which has been liquified by blending with petroleum solvents other than residual fuel oil and has not been emulsified with water.
