Technical Details & Test Data
- Slurry Seal and Microsurfacing - Systems Using Redicote E-7000
Our patented Redicote E-7000 betaine emulsifier allows the emulsion formulator to meet the requirements of quick-traffic slurry systems but using emulsions of neutral or near neutral pH and providing excellent value for money.
Easy to use
Redicote E-7000 is a completely water-soluble low viscosity liquid emulsifier which can be used to prepare both cationic and anionic emulsions for slurry surfacing, and is compatible with all emulsifier types. Used alone or in combination with emulsifiers such as Redicote E-11 or Redicote C-450, it can produce cationic emulsions which produce slurry meeting quick-set, quick-traffic requirements. Emulsions typically pass the cement mix test, yet the slurries build cohesion faster than recipes based on super-stable emulsions.
Latex compatibility
Alone, or combined with Redicote E-11, Redicote E-7000 provides excellent latex compatibility as well as plenty of mix time in hot conditions or with reactive aggregate.
Bitumen quality
High acid value bitumens provide better cohesion development. Additives can be used to help cohesion development in cases where high acid value bitumens are not available.
Emulsion pH
The emulsions can be produced over a wide range of pH from 2 to neutral, avoiding the corrosion problems seen with traditional microsurfacing systems. As labeling and placarding requirements of emulsions become more restrictive, the ability to formulate effective emulsions at pH close to neutral is an advantage.
Compared to conventional recipes the emulsions with co-emulsifiers are neutral or near neutral with soap pH in the range 4-7. A typical recipe might use 1-2% Redicote E-7000 and 0.4-0.8% of the co-emulsifier. When used alone we recommend a soap pH of around 2.
Overall the formulations provide significant cost savings compared to other quick-set slurry recipes, and because of the lower acid content of the emulsions, white staining due to soluble calcium ions is reduced.
Anionic slurries
For anionic quick-set emulsions, typical recipes use 1.5%-2.5% emulsifier with a soap pH of 11.5. These emulsions can optionally be latex-modified. Cement should be included in the mix design as it is necessary to attain quickset, quick-traffic properties with this system. With highly reactive aggregates, Redicote E-7000 can be combined with Redicote E-6945.
Break control additive
Redicote E-7000 is water-soluble and is the preferred break control additive for both anionic and cationic systems. Redicote E-11 or Redicote C-450 are effective at extending mix time in cationic systems
