ROADGRIP Bitumen Emulsions: Sustainable Paving, Superior Performance

Bitumen Emulsions: The Future of Road Construction

ROADGRIP manufactures a comprehensive range of high-quality bitumen emulsions, a revolutionary alternative to traditional hot bitumen. Emulsions are a stable dispersion of bitumen in water, making them ideal for cold application, which significantly enhances safety, reduces energy consumption, and minimizes environmental impact.

Types and Setting Times

Bitumen emulsions are classified based on their electrical charge and setting time, allowing for tailored applications:

• Cationic Emulsions: Positively charged, these are the most common type used in India due to their excellent adhesion to most aggregates, which are typically negatively charged. They are ideal for various applications, including prime coats and surface dressing.
• Anionic Emulsions: Negatively charged, suitable for aggregates with a positive charge.

Based on setting time, emulsions are categorized as:

• Rapid Setting (RS): Break quickly upon contact with aggregate, used for surface dressing and penetration macadam.
• Medium Setting (MS): Break more slowly, allowing for mixing with aggregates before laying, suitable for open-graded mixes.
• Slow Setting (SS): Break slowly, allowing for prolonged mixing, ideal for dense-graded mixes, cold mix applications, and soil stabilization.

Versatile Applications

ROADGRIP's bitumen emulsions are highly versatile and indispensable for various road construction and maintenance tasks:

• Tack Coat: Applied between pavement layers to ensure strong bonding and prevent slippage.
• Prime Coat: Used to seal granular bases, preventing water ingress and promoting adhesion with the asphalt layer.
• Surface Dressing (Chip Seal): A cost-effective method for sealing and protecting road surfaces, enhancing skid resistance.
• Cold Mix Asphalt: Enables the production of asphalt mixes at ambient temperatures, perfect for patching, minor repairs, and low-volume roads, especially in remote areas or during colder weather.
