Introduction of bitumen emulsion K1-60
Bituminous asphalt emulsion K1-60 is a rapid setting cationic asphalt, which has a positive charge leading reaction between the emulsion and pavement. It contains 57% bitumen. 1 denoted as rapid braking. The primer bitumen which is used for emulsification is obtained from crude oil.
Bitumen emulsion K1-60 is chocolate brown in color and is a free-flowing liquid at ambient temperature.
The main applications of asphalt emulsion K1- 60 are pavement construction, surface dressing, and tack coat.

Advantages
At the following you can find some advantages of this product:
· Environment friendly
· No heating required
· Cost efficient
· Easy and uniform spray
· Low-temperature curing, fast setting time
· High adhesive properties
· Prevents slippage of structural layers
Applications
Bitumen Emulsion K1-60 is primarily used as a tack coat, to provide a bond between the existing surface
and overlays e.g. hot rolled asphalt, macadam, and slurry seals, or between courses in road construction.
Bitumen Emulsion K1-60, because of its higher bitumen content, is generally used for surface dressing, patching, treating, and other similar applications.
· Treatments and seals:
· Single surface treatment
· Multiple surface treatment
· Sand seal
