Features & Benefits

Industrial Additives Features
Features
  • Low use level: 0.18-0.25% is normally sufficient for rapid-set emulsions
  • High emulsion viscosity: Emulsions prepared using Redicote EM24 have significantly higher viscosities, which allow specifications to be met at the minimum asphalt content
  • Fast breaking: Emulsions prepared with Redicote EM24 show fast breaking in the field even at low temperatures
  • Easy handling and storage: Redicote EM24 is a liquid, and easily dissolved in warm water during the preparation of emulsion soap phase. The product is suitable for both in-line and batch plants.
