Product Definition:
Cationic emulsion is a specialized bitumen emulsion formed by dispersing bitumen into tiny particles within water, resulting in positively charged (cationic) particles. This product offers excellent adhesion properties and quick drying, making it ideal for road surfacing, waterproofing, and various construction applications.
Features and Advantages:
-
Excellent Adhesion: Positively charged particles chemically bond with negatively charged surfaces for superior adhesion.
-
Quick Drying: Rapid evaporation of water after application forms a durable and effective layer.
-
Easy Application: Can be easily applied using a spray or brush.
-
Water Resistance: Creates a waterproof barrier for long-lasting surface protection.
-
Environmentally Friendly: Low solvent content ensures minimal environmental impact.
Applications:
-
Road Surfacing: Used as a binder for patching, repairing, and priming asphalt surfaces.
-
Waterproofing: Ideal for waterproofing foundations, roofs, terraces, and basements.
-
Dust Control: Applied on construction sites, mines, and agricultural roads to suppress dust.
-
Bituminous Coatings: Used as a primer or bonding layer for bituminous membranes.
Application Method:
Cationic emulsion is typically applied using spray machines or manual equipment. The surface must be clean and dry to ensure optimal adhesion of the emulsion. Allow the material to dry completely after application for the best results.
Packaging and Storage:
-
Packaging: Available in 20L pails, 200L drums, or 1000L IBC tanks.
-
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Protect from freezing conditions.
