BE2000 SERIES

BE1000 Series Emulsions are massively used and perform well under regular conditions for basic road surface preparations. But it was observed that there was scope for improvement – to deliver a custom solution; a solution that can perform to and beyond the required parameters delivering High Performing Solutions for a variety of purposes. The interaction between aggregate, fillers and emulsions is a chemical process. By controlling the said interaction, it is possible to deliver a unique high performance chemistry. In order to fulfill this need, BE2000 Series was developed

Applications

BE2200 - High Performance Tailor-made Bitumen Emulsion for Bituminous Coursesᵃ

IRC:SP:100, IRC:120, BARM-USDOT

Cold Recycling of Bituminous Surfaces

Cold Recycling is the reuse of the existing bituminous pavement to a depth of 50–120mm using Bitumen Emulsion (and other additives if required), normally used when there is a requirement of correcting a highly cracked bituminous surface by its removal and replacement with thick bituminous overlay. Typically a seal of Microsurfacing/Chip Seal or thin bituminous overlay is recommended over Cold Recycling.

Applications

BE2300 - High Performance Tailor-made Bitumen Emulsion for Bitumen Stabilized Material (BSM) - Full Depth Reclamation (FDR)

IRC:SP:100, IRC:120, TG-2

Cold Recycling of Bituminous Surfaces

FDR is a rehabilitation technique in which full thickness of bituminous pavement and a predetermined portion of base, sub-base and/or sub-grade is pulverized and stabilized to give a homogenous strong road base. Typically a seal of microsurfacing/Chip Seal or bituminous overlays required over FDR.

BE2400 - High Performance Tailor-made Bitumen Emulsion for Half Warm Mix

IRC:SP:100

Half Warm Mixes (DBM, SDBC, BC)

Half Warm Mixes (HWM) involve mixing of Bitumen Emulsions with warm aggregate (100±10°C), laid and compacted at temperature between 80–90°C. HWM is comparable to production of Hot Mix in terms of strength, durability and mixture requirements and therefore can be used for all climatic and traffic conditions.

It was after significant R&D, that ART developed its Custom Chemistry Program and launched its Second Generation of Emulsions. There are over 15 parameters that influence the four relevant aspects of an Emulsion; Viscosity, Breaking Rate, Storage Stability and Particle Size Distribution, all of which are critical to contribute to a good mix.

The process involves receiving samples of aggregate the clients intends to use. Then a variety of emulsions are developed and tested with the sample aggregates for optimal performance by creating lab mixes. Once an optimal mix is determined, the job mix details are shared with the clients and work begins!
