Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h

Introduction of bitumen emulsion CMS-2H

BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h is a cationic medium setting bitumen emulsion that contains 65% bitumen. Asphalt Emulsion CMS-2h is a specially designed water-based Bitumen Emulsion with moderate viscosity and setting time. This makes it a perfect product for premixing applications. It is chocolate brown in color and is a free-flowing liquid at ambient temperature. 

This high-quality bitumen emulsion makes it possible to fill potholes or carry out patch repair with open-graded cold premix made on-site. The methods typically used for the repair of potholes using asphalt emulsions are throw-and-roll and full-depth removal and replacement.

Applications

BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h is ideally suited for Patch Repairing & Pot Hole Repairing. You will see more information about the applications of this product below:

The procedure consists of

• Blow off water and debris from the pothole.
• Cut to rectangular shapes with all sides vertical
• Remove loose material, if any
• Spray tack coat of asphalt emulsion on all the sides and bottom
• Mix prepared clean (preferably washed) and dry aggregates with HPCPL MS cationic bitumen emulsion
• Typically, 13.2 mm and 11.2 mm sized aggregates mixed in 2:1 ratio
• HPCPL MS cationic bitumen emulsion content of approximately 7% by weight of aggregates works best
• Mix aggregates and emulsion properly to ensure good and uniform coating
• Mix till the entire emulsion is broken (turn to black color)
• Fill the premix immediately into the pothole up to a level slightly higher than the adjoining road surface and roll properly
• Open the repaired pothole to traffic as soon as workers and equipment are clear

For economical and fast construction of the wearing course, emulsion is used for Premix Carpet. 

 Recommended rate of application

The typical rate of application of BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h for Patch Repairing/Pot Hole Repairing is 7 % by weight of aggregates.
