Bitumen Emulsion SS-1

Introduction of bitumen emulsion SS-1

BACCO bitumen emulsion SS-1 is an anionic slow-setting asphalt emulsion containing a minimum of 57% Bitumen designed for use as a tack coat, in fine-graded mixes, dust control, fog seal, and specialty applications.
SS-1 is a slow-setting anionic asphalt emulsion (i.e., low reactivity) low viscosity, and a hard asphalt residue that is designed for various paving and industrial uses. Asphalt emulsions are classified according to the electric charge that surrounds the emulsion’s asphalt particles (i.e. whether it is a cationic or an anionic emulsion) and how quickly the suspended asphalt particles separate from the surrounding water (“breaking”). A slow-setting emulsion is designed to maximize the mixing time with aggregates.
Longer workability times ensure a good coating on dense-graded aggregates with a high fine content. The setting speed of any emulsion is relative to atmospheric conditions at the time of construction.

Properties of Bitumen emulsion SS-1

BACCO SS-1 bitumen emulsion 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 required

·        Cost efficient

·        Easy and uniform spray

·        Low-temperature curing, fast setting time

·        High adhesive properties

·        Prevents slippage of structural layers

Applications

Anionic emulsion is obtained by an electric field. In an anionic emulsion, the droplets migrate from the anode. Anionic bitumen emulsion SS-1 is a slow-setting, anionic type of bitumen. The particle size of the emulsion is 0.1 to 5 microns and the emulsifier which is usually used for producing anionic Asphalt Emulsion SS-1 is alkaline salt with Ammonium Salt which puts the bitumen and water droplet together.

The main applications of Anionic bitumen emulsion SS-1 are waterproofing, building application, highway construction, surfacing, and maintenance.

SS-1h emulsions are used for a variety of purposes. Slow-setting emulsions are the most stable of emulsions and generally can be diluted with water and mixed with mineral fillers and aggregates for all paving uses, the air and pavement temperatures at construction should be sufficiently high to allow the emulsion to fully cure.

Recommended rate of application

Bitumen Emulsion SS-1 is designed for 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.

·        May be further diluted with potable water

·        Do not apply if precipitation is anticipated.

·        Do not dilute the product with any cutter stock.

To Ensure Best Result

·        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

Tools: Clean with kerosene.

Hands: Use a hand cleanser or kerosene followed by soap and water.
