Features
  • Low use level: Good quality slow set emulsions are formed at low use level
  • Easy handling: The low viscosity, low pour point and water solubility of Redicote E-11 makes it easy to use both as emulsifier and as a break control additive (retarder) for slurry
  • Good adhesion: Emulsions made with Redicote E-11 provide good adhesion to siliceous aggregates
  • No need for acid: No acid is required for soap preparation
  • No APEs: The product does not contain alkylphenolethoxylates
  • Excellent emulsion quality at lower dosage and can be used without addition of acid in the soap
  • Non-flammable version of Redicote E-11 E for safer handling
  • Cationic super stable proven emulsifier that has wider applicability.
  • Super stable emulsifier providing extended workability FDR, plant produced cold mixes and base stabilization
  • Faster setting for Cold in-place recycling (CIR) with or without cement. Can be used for many applications.
  • Water based non-flammable quaternary ammonium emulsifier that can be used as a break retarder.
  • Excellent emulsion quality at lower dosage and can be used without addition of acid in the soap
  • Non-flammable version of Redicote E-11 for safer handling.
  • Cationic super stable proven emulsifier that has wider applicability
Product Overview
Product Region Comments Conventional slurry Quick-traffic slurry Microsurfacing
Redicote E-11 E, S, C Produce cationic slow setting emulsions with
excellent latex compatibility. Cement or lime filler not
always required. Emulsions can be formulated with
neutral or near neutral pH. The products can also be
used as dope in these systems.

Additives:

Generally the emulsifier can also be used as a break retarder on the slurry paver. Water soluble Redicote E-11HF-1, Redicote E-11HF, Redicote 611, Redicote E-7000 and Redicote C-450 are particularly suitable because they are water soluble and do not contain flammable solvents.

Technical Details & Test Data

Options for Conventional Slurry

The Redicote slurry system

Developed more than 60 years ago and still going strong, the Redicote slurry system has passed the test of time with honors. Today products in the Redicote E-11 family are produced worldwide in Singapore, Brazil Sweden and USA. Why is the system still so popular? It is a simple, reliable and value for money process which performs well in a wide range of climates. Neutral pH emulsions with strong cationic character.

Neutral pH emulsions with strong cationic character

The Redicote E-11 family of quaternary ammonium emulsifiers are low viscosity, completely water soluble and emulsions can be formulated without the need for acid, although hydrochloric acid and/or calcium chloride may be incorporated if desired. The built-in cationic charge on the emulsifier molecules produces emulsion with exceptional adhesion to siliceous aggregates, while typically passing the cement mix test and particle charge tests.

Hand work

The creamy nature of the slurries make them ideal for handwork with low risk of segregation. Products prepared using Redicote slurry system can be applied by hand for the maintenance of footpaths and cycleways.

Blacker seals

Because the emulsions are neutral, with little or no acid used, less cement, lime or limestone aggregates are dissolved which avoids unsightly white surface staining caused by soluble calcium salts.

Latex

The emulsions are particularly compatible with latex. With the right order of addition natural rubber and some anionic SBR latex grades can be incorporated into the soap solution, or can be stabilized in a separate production step.

Break control additive

The Redicote E-11 is its own control additive. Emulsions can be prepared with the minimum of chemical and the mix time adapted on the paver by addition of Redicote E-11. High flash point grades of the product are available for safe use in the field.
