Features & Benefits

Features
  • Low acid value bitumen: Slurries show rapid cohesion development, even with low acid value bitumens and polymer modified bitumen. Acid additives are not normally required.
  • Fast cohesion development: Redicote C-320 provides slurries and microsurfacings with fast cohesion development suitable for nightwork or cold weather paving
  • Easy handling: The product is low viscosity even at low temperatures and soap solutions are easy to prepare
