Bituminous Emulsion (Industrial) — Road construction

Product Overview
Bituminous Emulsion (Industrialgrade) is a coldapplied, liquid binder manufactured by dispersing bitumen in water with specialized emulsifying agents. It is primarily used for road construction applications including prime coats, tack coats, slurry seals, and microsurfacing, enabling immediate traffic readiness without hotmixing. The key value proposition is superior adhesion, rapid curing, and reduced energy consumption compared to hot bitumen. Strategically, it is critical for infrastructure projects seeking lower carbon footprints, extended paving seasons, and enhanced worker safety.

Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Chemical composition: Cationic or anionic bitumen emulsion (60–70% bitumen content), water, emulsifier system, stabilizing agents

• Purity/grade: IS 8887, ASTM D2397, or AASHTO M140 compliant; SS1, SS1h, CSS1, RS1, RS2, MS2 grades available

• Physical characteristics: Brown liquid; homogeneous; particle size 1–10 microns; viscosity (Saybolt Furol) 20–150 seconds at 25°C; density approx. 1.01–1.05 g/cm³

• Packaging options: Bulk tanker trucks (20–30 MT), 200L steel drums, 1,000L IBC totes, flexitanks

• Shelf life: 6 months in sealed, frostfree storage (avoid temperatures below 5°C or above 45°C)

Core Industrial Applications

• Primary industries: Road & highway construction, civil infrastructure, municipal paving, airport runways

• Specific use cases: Prime coat for base course stabilization; tack coat between asphalt layers; slurry seal for surface maintenance; microsurfacing for rut filling; fog seal for rejuvenation

• Performance edge: Superior wetaggregate coating ability, rapid breaking time (5–30 min depending on grade), eliminates need for heating plant equipment

• Efficiency advantages: Reduces paving execution time by up to 40% versus hotmix; lowers project fuel costs by ~30%; extends working season into cool/damp weather where hot bitumen fails

Competitive Advantages

• Quality consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified production with inline viscosity and sieve residue testing; batch certificates available for every shipment

• Supply reliability: 50,000 MT monthly capacity; 3 dedicated loading bays; buffer stock maintained at 5 regional warehouses

• Logistics capability: Export-ready with IBC and drum strapping for sea freight; temperature-controlled tanker options for long-distance land transport

• Price competitiveness: Direct refinery integration → 12–15% below distributor average; volume-based quarterly rebates

• Sustainability: Lower VOC emissions (no hot heating); 100% water-based; compatible with recycled asphalt pavement (RAP)

• Technical support: Free mix design advisory; on-site application training; SDS and technical data sheets in 8 languages

Commercial & Supply Information

• Minimum order quantity (MOQ): BULK 20 MT (one flexitank or tanker compartment)

• Loading capacity: 20 MT per 20ft container (IBC/drum); 24–26 MT per tanker truck; 22 MT per flexitank in 40ft HC container
