Grades Of Cationic Bitumen Emulsion
Rapid Setting (RS-1) | RS-1 Provides rapid deposition - mainly used Tack Coat. |
Rapid Setting (RS-2) | RS-2 Provides rapid deposition - mainly used for Surface Dressing Work. |
Medium Setting (MS) | MS is used for Plant or Roadmix and also used for Road Repair and Surface Dressing. |
Slow Setting (SS-1) | SS-1 is used for Applications like Fog Seal, Crack Seal and Prime Coat. |
Slow Setting (SS-2) | SS-2 is used for Applications for Plant and Road Mix like MSS, SDBC, Slurry Seal and Prime Coat. |

Advantages of using Bitumen Emulsion
Reduce Pollution
1. It prevents from harmful fumes.
2. It help to reduce dust pollution which causes breath problems.
3. It helps to reduce atmospheric pollution.
Energy Saving
Durable
Economical
Safety
1. It requires no heating, it can be used in cold condition, just open drum and use it.
2. It saves natural resources i,e Petrol, Diesel, Wood etc.
1. It gives strong antistripping properties.
2. It can be used for long time as it can be used in cold condition.
1. It saves money due to no requirement of heating.
2. It can be used in any time so it save time, laour and money.
1. It does not emits harmful gases so it is safe for working.
