Advantages of BituPlus Bitumen Emulsion CRS1:
- Environmentally friendly
- No heating required
- Cost-efficient
- Easy and uniform spray application
- Low-temperature curing with fast setting time
- High adhesive properties
- Prevents slippage of structural layers
Applications:
The primary application of CRS asphalt emulsion is in surface treatment projects, including:
- Single surface treatment
- Multiple surface treatment
- Sand seal
BituPlus Bitumen Emulsion CRS1 is also well-suited for Tack Coat applications and offers additional benefits:
- Ensures a strong bond between the existing surface and the new bituminous course being placed over it.
- Promotes longevity by ensuring a secure bond between the new bituminous surface and the underlying surface.
- Coats and bonds loose mineral particles on the surface layer.
- Seals surface pores, making the surface water-resistant.
- Imparts structural stability and prevents lateral movement of layers.
- Facilitates adhesion between the base and superimposed surface course.
Tack coat application involves a light spray of Bitumen Emulsion, which can be applied by hand or machine. Its purpose is to establish a reliable bond between an old and a new bituminous surfacing layer, typically applied thinly and evenly across the entire surface.
