Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2
BITUMEN EMULSION CMS-2
RAHA OIL presents Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2, a top-quality cationic medium setting bitumen emulsion adhering to the stringent ASTM D 2397M-13 standard. With a minimum bitumen content of 65% and a striking black color, this emulsion is specifically designed to meet the demands of various applications. Its moderate viscosity and setting time make it an ideal choice for premixing purposes, ensuring optimum performance. Characterized by its chocolate brown color and free-flowing nature at ambient temperature, Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2 demonstrates remarkable reactivity with aggregates, swiftly transitioning from an emulsion to asphalt. The classification of asphalt emulsions is based on the electric charge enveloping the asphalt particles (either cationic or anionic) and the speed at which the suspended asphalt particles separate from the water (known as “breaking”). CMS-2 falls under the category of medium-setting emulsions, ensuring a moderate and efficient breaking process upon contact with aggregates. This versatile CMS-2 emulsion finds applications in chip sealing projects, even with aggregate that may contain higher levels of impurities. However, it’s worth noting that due to its medium-setting properties, adjustments to traffic control may be necessary. The setting speed of any emulsion is influenced by prevailing atmospheric conditions during construction, adding a dynamic aspect to the emulsion’s performance. Experience the superior capabilities of RAHA OIL Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2, empowering your projects with enhanced performance, reliability, and adaptability.
APPLICATIONS OF BITUMEN EMULSION CMS-2
Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2 offers a range of applications, harnessing its quick curing properties and ability to form a robust asphalt film. Its high viscosity allows for higher application rates without the risk of runoff, making it an excellent choice for spray applications such as single or multiple chip seals. At RAHA OIL, we have found that Asphalt Emulsion CMS-2 is particularly well-suited for Patch Repairing & Pot Hole Repairing.
HERE ARE SOME DETAILED GUIDELINES FOR UTILIZING THIS PRODUCT EFFECTIVELY:
- Begin by removing water and debris from the pothole, ensuring a clean surface.
- Cut the pothole into rectangular shapes with vertical sides.
- Remove any loose material present.
- Apply a tack coat of asphalt emulsion to all sides and the bottom of the pothole.
- Mix the prepared clean and dry aggregates with HPCPL MS cationic bitumen emulsion.
- Typically, a mixture of 13.2 mm and 11.2 mm sized aggregates in a 2:1 ratio works well.
- A content of approximately 7% by weight of aggregates for HPCPL MS cationic bitumen emulsion yields optimal results.
- Ensure thorough mixing to achieve a uniform coating of aggregates with the emulsion.
- Continue mixing until the emulsion is fully broken, indicated by a black color.
- Immediately fill the premix into the pothole, slightly exceeding the level of the adjoining road surface, and compact it properly.
- Once workers and equipment are clear, open the repaired pothole to traffic.
- For cost-effective and efficient construction of wearing courses, the emulsion is commonly used for Premix Carpet applications.

DESIGN GUIDELINE
- Formulate designs prior to initial production and whenever aggregate sources are changed. This ensures consistency and quality in the final product.
- It is highly recommended to conduct testing on the final product to ensure a high-quality seal. For comprehensive design services and product quality analysis, RAHA OIL Technical Services is available to assist you.
Spray Patching: Spray patching is an effective method for repairing deteriorated areas on the pavement surface. It involves the alternating application of CMS-2 and aggregate. This technique can also be used to repair depressions caused by rutting or ravelling. The excellent adhesion of CMS-2 ensures longer-lasting repairs and enhanced durability. Single or Multiple Chip Seals: For single or multiple chip seals, a controlled application of Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2 asphalt emulsion is applied to a prepared surface, followed by the controlled application of cover aggregate per lift. The recommended aggregate should be single-sized, washed chip with sizes ranging from 6 mm (¼ in) to 19 mm (¾ in). By using CMS-2, you can achieve durable and longer-lasting surface treatments that exhibit increased resistance to rutting and low-temperature cracking. Following these guidelines will help you achieve superior results, ensuring the longevity and performance of your pavement surfaces. For any further assistance or inquiries, do not hesitate to reach out to RAHA OIL Technical Services, who are equipped to provide comprehensive design support and conduct product quality analysis.
STORAGE AND HANDLIDING OF CMS-2
BEST PRACTICES FOR QUALITY MAINTENANCE
To ensure the integrity and quality of CMS-2, it is crucial to follow proper storage and handling procedures.
Here are the recommended guidelines:
Storage:
- Store CMS-2 in bulk tanks, preferably in a vertical position to minimize surface area exposure.
- Prevent CMS-2 from freezing or boiling as it can lead to emulsion breakdown. Maintain safe storage temperatures ranging from 10°C (50°F) to 85°C (185°F).
- For bulk storage, it is advised to mix the CMS-2 every 1 to 2 weeks, increasing frequency in cold weather conditions. Mixing can be accomplished using a paddle agitator (at a slow speed), loose gear pump, slow centrifugal pump, or any suitable low shear pump.
- Avoid agitating Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2 by bubbling air through it, as this can create excessive foam and potentially cause emulsion breakdown.
- Always use clean storage containers and ensure that the prior contents are compatible with CMS-2 to avoid any potential emulsion breakdown issues.
- When sampling the emulsion, use approved and sealed containers specifically designed for this purpose.
By adhering to these storage and handling best practices, you can maintain the quality and stability of CMS-2, ensuring consistent performance and reliable results. If you have any further questions or require additional guidance, feel free to consult with our experts for comprehensive support.
