Bitumen MS
Cationic Medium Setting emulsion designed for mixing with open-graded aggregates. Ideal for producing Cold Mix Asphalt for pothole repairs in remote areas.
CMS is formulated not to break immediately, allowing time for mixing with aggregates in a plant or mobile mixer. The resulting mix remains workable for pavement repair jobs.
Key Benefits & Applications:
-
Cold Mix Asphalt: Perfect for on-site production of asphalt for immediate pavement repairs.
-
Extended Workability: The resulting mix remains pliable and workable, allowing for precise application in road patching.
-
Remote Area Utility: Eliminates the need for hot-mix asphalt plants, making it the top choice for remote infrastructure projects in East Africa and Central Asia.
-
High Adhesion: Being cationic, it bonds exceptionally well with a wide range of aggregate types, including acidic and silica-rich stones.
Technical Notes:
-
Logistics: Optimized for Bulk Tanker transport to Iraq and Turkey. For African markets, it is available in New Steel Drums (180kg/210kg) to ensure maritime safety.
-
Mixing Tip: CMS is best used with open-graded or coarse aggregates to ensure proper coating and aeration for the break process.
-
Storage Warning: Do not allow the emulsion to freeze. Store in clean, upright tanks to prevent premature breaking and maintain chemical stability.
-
Quality Assurance: Manufactured with precise emulsifier ratios to ensure a predictable setting time in various humidity conditions.
