Advantages:
Here are some of the advantages of this product:
- No heating required, making it environmentally friendly.
- Cost-efficient.
- Easy and even spray application.
- Low-temperature curing with fast setting time.
- High adhesive properties.
- Improves the service life of pavements.
- Helps rejuvenate the surface.
Applications:
BituPlus Bitumen Emulsion CRS2 is well-suited for various applications, including:
- Surface dressing.
- Grouting.
- Penetration macadam.
| Surface Dressing | This process involves the application of one or two coats, with each coat comprising a layer of bituminous binder that is expertly sprayed onto a meticulously prepared base. Subsequently, a layer of stone chips is applied and then thoroughly rolled to create a robust wearing course. RS-2 type cationic bitumen emulsion stands out as the ideal choice for surface dressing on road shoulders and for providing protection to freshly laid base courses. As per the (MORTH&H) clause 510.2 guidelines, the recommended application rate for a two-coat surface dressing is 28-32 kg/10 sq.m. |
| Grouting | For cost-effective low-volume road construction, you can create a unified base and wearing course by applying HPCPL RS-2 cationic bitumen emulsion to the compacted aggregates that have been laid. This application is viable even in the presence of moisture in the stone layer. |
| Penetration Macadam | This procedure entails the construction of one or more layers of densely compacted coarse crushed aggregates. During construction, a bituminous binder and key aggregate are alternately applied. This method is employed as a base course for roads, in accordance with the specifications outlined in the overall pavement design |
| Sand Seal | Application of bituminous sand to an existing pavement surface to seal it and serve as a lightweight wearing course. |
