Industrial Additives Features
Features
  • Easy dispersion: The product is fully liquid, disperses very easily in water and is particularly suitable for in-line plants. Soap concentrates containing up to 20% active material can be prepared.
  • Emulsion stability: The product provides emulsions with excellent storage and pumping stability
  • Low emulsion viscosity: Emulsions produced with Redicote EM-44A have relatively low viscosity, which can be an advantage when dealing with problematic viscosity-building bitumens
  • Phosphoric acid systems: Redicote EM-44A can be used with phosphoric acid to produce emulsions suitable for micro surfacing or cold mix.
  • Liquid emulsifier that builds medium viscosity in CRS-2 emulsions.
  • Highest viscosity building in CRS-2 emulsions saving binder costs. Good emulsion quality at lower dosage, suitable for polymer modified emulsions and provides good adhesion.
  • Medium viscosity building in CRS-2 emulsions.
  • Liquid emulsifier that builds medium viscosity in CRS-2 emulsions
  • Liquid emulsifier that builds medium viscosity in rapid set emulsions and provides good adhesion
  • Liquid CRS emulsifier for faster break, provides good adhesion and provides good value for the money
  • Liquid emulsifier that builds high viscosity in CRS-2 emulsions and also provides faster breaking
  • Liquid emulsifier that builds medium viscosity in CRS-2 emulsions, gives good quality emulsions and efficient in terms of dosage.
  • 100% active high viscosity building emulsifier that gives high quality emulsions at low dosage.
  • 100% active high viscosity building emulsifier that is soluble in acidified water at ambient temperatures
