Introduction of bitumen emulsion CRS2
BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CRS2 is a specially designed water-based Bitumen Emulsion with high viscosity and fast setting time that makes it an ideal spraying product for road maintenance. The main application of CRS emulsion is surface treatment (Chip seal, sand seal, and fog seal by cement curing). BACCO asphalt emulsion CRS-2 is a cationic rapid-setting bitumen emulsion that contains 65% bitumen and is almost black.
Typical properties of CRS-2
BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CRS2 is manufactured strictly as per ASTM D2397-13
AASHTO M208-16 or IS 8887: 2004.

Advantages
At the following you can find some advantages of this product:
· No heating required thus eco-friendly
· Cost efficient
· Easy and even spray
· Low-temperature curing, fast setting time
· High adhesive properties
· Improves pavement service life
· Helps in surface rejuvenation
Applications
BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CRS2 is ideally suited for
surface Dressing, Grouting, and Penetration Macadam.
You will see below more information about applications of this product:
Surface Dressing |
It consists of application in one or two coats, each consisting of a layer of bituminous binder sprayed on a previously prepared base, followed by a cover of stone chips rolled in to form a wearing course. RS-2 type cationic bitumen emulsion is ideal for surface dressing on the shoulders and for protection of freshly laid base course. The typical rate of application for two coats of surface dressing as per (MORTH&H) clause 510.2 is 28-32 kg/10sq.m. |
Grouting |
For economical construction of low-volume roads, a combined base and wearing courses can be made by an application of HPCPL RS-2 cationic bitumen emulsion on the land and compacted aggregates. This application can be carried out even when the stone layer is damp. |
Penetration Macadam |
It consists of the construction of one or more layers of compacted crushed coarse aggregates with alternate application of bituminous binder and key aggregate. to be used as a base course on the road, subject to the requirements of the overall pavement design. |
Sand Seal |
A bituminous sand application for existing pavement surface to seal the surface and to function as a light-wearing course. |
Recommended rate of application
The typical rate of application of BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CRS2 for two-coat surface dressing is
28-32 kg/10 m2.
To ensure the best results
· Use without diluting Bitumen Emulsion with any solvent or water
· Use at ambient temperature
· Roll the Bitumen Emulsion drums 5 times before using
Handling and safety
· Contains petroleum distillate; flammable: keep away from open fire, sparks, or other ignition sources; wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles.
· Fire flammable when wet, flash point 40°C.
· Skin –avoid repeated or prolonged contact, if this occurs remove with hand cleaner that removes oil or grease, then clean with soap and water.
· Eyes contact could cause irritation, if contact occurs flush immediately with clean water Inhalation can cause dizziness, move immediately in fresh air if dizzy and if breathing difficulty persists administer oxygen.
Cleaning
Tools: Clean with kerosene.
Hands: Use a hand cleanser or kerosene followed by soap and water.
