    Applications

    Bitumen Emulsion K1-70 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.

    Also, one of the main applications of emulsion K1-70 is in road surface treatments and seals:

    ·        Single surface treatment

    ·        Multiple surface treatment

    ·        Sand seal

    Tack Coat K1-70 cationic bitumen emulsion can be used at ambient temperature at the spray rate of 0.25 to 0.70 liter per square meter (0.05 to 0.15 gallon per square yard).

    The typical rate of application K1-70 for two coats of surface dressing as per (MORTH&H) clause 510.2 is   28-32 kg/10sq.m.
