BE1100 is the equivalent of RS-1 (Rapid Setting – 1) type Bitumen Emulsions. This conforms to IS8887 and IRC: SP:100. BE1100 is typically used for Tack Coat purposes.
Application Rates of RS1
| S.No | Type of Surface | Rate of Spray (kg/10 m2) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bituminous Surface | 2.0 to 3.0 |
| 2 | Granular surface treated with Primer | 2.5 to 3.0 |
| 3 | Cement concrete pavement | 3.0 to 3.5 |
BE1200 is the equivalent of RS-2 (Rapid Setting – 2) type Bitumen Emulsions. This conforms to IS8887 and IRC:SP:100. BE1200 is typically used for Cape Seal and Chip Seal purposes.
Application Rates of RS2
| Sr. No. | Nominal Chipping Size(mm) | Emulsion (Residual Binder) (Kg/m2) | Chips (cum/m2) |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 19 | 1.2 | 0.015 |
| 2 | 13 | 1 | 0.01 |
| 3 | 10 | 0.9 | 0.008 |
| 4 | 6 | 0.75 | 0.004 |
BE1300 is the equivalent of MS (Medium Setting) type Bitumen Emulsions. This conforms to IS8887 and IRC:SP:100. BE1300 is typically used for OGPC, MSS, BM or Patching purposes.
Application Rates of MS
BE1400 is the equivalent of SS-1 (Slow Setting – 1) type Bitumen Emulsions. This conforms to IS8887 and IRC:SP:100. BE1400 is typically used for Prime Coat purposes.
Application Rates of SS1
| S.No | Type of Surface | Rate of Spray (kg/10 m2) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bituminous Surface | 2.0 to 3.0 |
| 2 | Granular surface treated with Primer | 2.5 to 3.0 |
| 3 | Cement concrete pavement | 3.0 to 3.5 |
BE1500 is the equivalent of SS-2 (Slow Setting – 2) type Bitumen Emulsions. This conforms to IS8887 and IRC:SP:100. BE1500 is typically used for Seal Coat, Sand Coat, Cape Seal, Slurry Seal, OGPC, MSS, BM, SDBC, Half-Warm Mixes (DBM, SDBC, BC), Cold Recycling, Patching or Bituminous Cold Mix (including Gravel Emulsions) purposes.
BE1600 is the equivalent of CSS-1 (Cationic Slow Setting – 1) type Bitumen Emulsions. This conforms to ASTM and MoRTH Clause 518. BE1600 is typically used for Dense Graded Mixes, Patching or Bituminous Cold Mix (including Gravel Emulsions) purposes.
