Product Description
Bitumen Emulsion :Bituminous Emulsion gives imporved performance, It requires less energy when applied cold. It reduces emissions and covers wider areas when uniformly sprayed on surface. Emulsions are avaliable as per IS Standards.Fast-Setting, Versatile Bitumen SolutionBitumen Emulsion RS2 stands out for its immediate breaking time and cationic particle charge, ensuring rapid adhesion in critical projects. Its adaptability makes it suitable for various applications, including road construction, surface dressing, and prime or tack coating, providing robust performance in both hot and cold settings.
Consistent Performance and Storage StabilityThis emulsion promises steady quality with a minimum 60% bitumen content and density of 1.01.1 g/cm at 20C. With a flash point above 220C and a softening point exceeding 90C, it maintains stability and safety under diverse climatic conditions. Proper storage ensures a shelf life of up to 12 months.
FAQs of Bitumen Emulsion RS2:
Q: How should Bitumen Emulsion RS2 be applied in road construction projects?
A: Bitumen Emulsion RS2 can be directly applied without dilution for surface dressing, tack coats, and prime coats. For cold mix applications, it should be mixed thoroughly with aggregate material to ensure even coating and adhesion. Application can be done using standard spray equipment or by manual means depending on the scale of the project.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Bitumen Emulsion RS2 in road construction?
A: This fast-curing, water-resistant emulsion delivers rapid setting, making roads usable quickly after application. Its ready-to-use liquid form eliminates the need for on-site heating and ensures uniform coating. The products high residual bitumen content enhances pavement durability and longevity.
Q: When can Bitumen Emulsion RS2 be used during the construction process?
A: RS2 emulsion is suitable at various stages, including prior to laying hot mix for surface priming, as a binding layer (tack coat) between courses, or for surface dressing in maintenance or new construction. It offers flexible use throughout the lifecycle of road surfacing or maintenance operations.
Q: Where is Bitumen Emulsion RS2 typically utilized?
A: The emulsion is commonly employed in the construction and maintenance of highways, urban roads, rural paths, and industrial areas. Its proven solubility and cationic nature also make it suitable for challenging terrains across India.
Q: What is the recommended storage process for Bitumen Emulsion RS2?
A: Store the emulsion in tightly sealed 200 kg drums, placed in a cool, dry environment with a temperature range from 5C to 50C. Avoid direct sunlight, and ensure containers remain upright and intact to maintain product integrity for up to 6-12 months.
Q: How does the emulsions cationic charge benefit its usage?
A: The cationic particle charge allows Bitumen Emulsion RS2 to bond effectively with most aggregate types, particularly those with acidic or neutral surfaces, promoting strong adhesion and minimizing stripping or early failure.
