Features & Benefits

Industrial Additives Features

Low Viscosity

Product Highlights

• Low use level : 0.15-0.22% is normally sufficient for rapid-set emulsions.
• Medium emulsion viscosity : Redicote E-17 produces high residue cationic rapidsetting emulsions with moderate viscosity build, suitable for most bitumen types.
• Easy handling and storage : Redicote E-17 is a low viscosity liquid, easily soluble in the kerosene used in pre-coated chippings, and easily dissolved during the preparation of emulsion soap phase.
• Active adhesion : Bitumen treated with Redicote E-17 has the ability to displace water from the surface of aggregates.
