Description

Bitumen Emulsion SS-1h is an anionic, slow-setting asphalt emulsion that contains a minimum of 57% bitumen. This specific emulsion is formulated for use as a tack coat in road construction and maintenance.

The “anionic” characteristic means it carries a negative charge, which can improve its compatibility with various aggregates and enhance its adhesion to road surfaces. Being “slow-setting” indicates that it has a longer curing time, allowing it to stay workable for an extended period before fully setting.

As a tack coat, SS-1h is applied to promote adhesion between layers of asphalt or between asphalt and aggregate. It helps create a strong bond, ensuring the proper bonding of new asphalt layers to existing surfaces. This emulsion is widely used in road construction to enhance the overall durability and performance of roadways by preventing delamination and ensuring structural integrity.
