BE1000 Series

Bitumen emulsions are a versatile and environmentally superior method of binding aggregates The material is stabilized by a surfactant system- a bit like shampoo. Bitumen emulsions is water in oil dispersions; they are non-toxic in agriculture and aquaculture. Bitumen is heated and blended with a surfactant solution and any desired additives, like rejuvenator, brake controller, stability controller, or polymer.

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.
