Bitumen Emulsion K1-60

    Bitumen Emulsion K1-60

    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.

    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
