- Features
- Low use level: 0.12-0.22% is normally sufficient for rapid-set emulsions
- Emulsion quality: Emulsions have good storage stability. The product is particularly suitable for polymer-modified bitumens.
- Medium viscosity: High residue emulsions prepared using Redicote EM44 typically have medium or low viscosity which is useful when dealing with viscosity-building bitumens
- Easy handling and storage: Redicote EM44 is a liquid, and is exceptionally easy to dissolve in even cold water during the preparation of emulsion soap phase. The product is suitable for both in-line and batch plants.
- Liquid emulsifier that builds medium viscosity in CRS-2 emulsions, gives good quality emulsions and efficient in terms of dosage
- 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.
