Bitumen Emulsion CSS1

Introduction of bitumen emulsion CSS1

BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1 is a cationic bitumen emulsion containing a minimum of 57% bitumen. It’s a specially designed water-based Bitumen Emulsion with low viscosity and extended setting time that makes it an ideal product for prime coating on highly porous surfaces. It is dark brown in color and is a free-flowing liquid at ambient temperature.

Prime coat SS-1K / CSS-1 is a low-viscosity emulsion used mainly for prime coating in place of cutback asphalt. Prime coat SS-1K / CSS-1 bitumen emulsion is made according to Malaysian Standard, MS 1.61: 1994 Grade SS-1K.

Typical properties of CSS1

BACCO asphalt emulsion CSS-1 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:

·        Environment friendly

·        No heating requires, cost-efficient

·        Bound well with cool, damp surfaces

·        High adhesive properties

·        Low-temperature curing

·        Penetrate the cracks and impart strength to the layers

Applications

CSS-1 is an absorptive surface material (like low to medium-high porosity wet mix macadam or water-bound macadam), designed to penetrate, plug the capillary voids in the surface, bond and stabilize the existing surface, and promote adhesion between it and the construction course that follows. BACCO Bitumen Emulsion CSS1 is ideally suited for Prime Coat application on high porous surfaces like WBM. It can also be used as a Fog Seal Application.

For pavement bases and surfaces:

    Plant mix (cold):

·        with both dense-graded aggregate and sand

    Mixed-in-place:

·        Dense-graded aggregate

·        Sand

·        Sandy soil

·        Slurry seal

Bituminous applications

·        Fog Seal

·        Prime coat-penetrable surface

·        Tack coat

·        Dust Binder

·        Mulch Treatment

·        Crack filler

 Recommended rate of application

Bitumen Emulsion CSS1 ASTM is designed for use in slurry seals and cold storable mixtures for patching. They are designed for soil stabilization and are also suitable for use with cold recycling. These emulsions are tailor-made as per the quality of aggregates and local site conditions.

To ensure the best results

·        Use without diluting Bitumen Emulsion with water

·        Use at ambient temperature

·        Roll the Bitumen Emulsion drums to and from motion at a distance of a minimum 5-meter

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
