Description:
Bitumen Emulsion is a water-based dispersion of bitumen, specially formulated for road construction, waterproofing, and industrial applications. Unlike conventional bitumen, it does not require heating, making it an eco-friendly and energy-efficient solution. Bitumen Emulsion consists of finely dispersed bitumen particles stabilized by an emulsifying agent, ensuring uniform application and excellent adhesion to surfaces.
With its superior binding properties, Bitumen Emulsion is ideal for road maintenance, priming, and tack coating. It provides enhanced durability, flexibility, and resistance to cracking, ensuring long-term performance in various climatic conditions.
Available Grades:
- Rapid Setting (RS): RS-1, RS-2 (used for surface dressing and tack coats)
- Medium Setting (MS): MS (ideal for premix and patching applications)
- Slow Setting (SS): SS-1, SS-2 (used for priming and waterproofing applications)
Specifications:
- Viscosity at 50°C: 20-400 cSt (depending on grade)
- Bitumen Content: 40-70%
- Residue by Evaporation: ≥ 60%
- Penetration of Residue: 50-300 dmm
- pH Value: 2-6
- Standard Compliance: ASTM D2397, IS 8887
Applications:
- Road construction and maintenance (tack coats, surface dressing)
- Prime coats for improved adhesion on pavement layers
- Waterproofing for basements, roofs, and foundations
- Dust suppression and soil stabilization in construction sites
Bitumen Emulsion is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hot bitumen. Its ease of application, strong adhesion, and superior water resistance make it a reliable choice for infrastructure projects, ensuring enhanced road durability and long-term protection against wear and tear.
