- Features
- Low acid value bitumen: Slurries show rapid cohesion development, even with low acid value bitumen and polymer modified asphalts. Acid additives are not normally required.
- Fast cohesion development: Redicote C-320E 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
- Emulsifier for phosphoric acid system that works with wide range of binders including low acid. Provides excellent cohesion building suitable for cooler weather and night paving.
- Good cohesion building, value for the money and can be used in combination with Redicote C-500-1 or Redicote C-450.
- Versatile emulsifier that works with wide variety of aggregates and in hot weather conditions
- Consistent performance with medium reactive aggregates and high acid bitumen
- Designed for highly reactive aggregates
