Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h
ENHANCED DESCRIPTION OF CATIONIC BITUMEN EMULSION CMS-2H
RAHA OIL presents Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h, a superior cationic medium setting bitumen emulsion that embodies exceptional qualities. Comprising a minimum of 65% bitumen, this emulsion adheres strictly to the ASTM D 2397M-13 standard. With its specially designed water-based formulation, CMS-2h exhibits a balanced viscosity and setting time. The product’s moderate viscosity and setting time make it an ideal choice for premixing applications. It showcases a delightful chocolate brown hue and maintains a free-flowing liquid state at ambient temperatures, ensuring convenience during usage. CMS-2h stands out as a medium-setting cationic asphalt emulsion, exhibiting rapid reactivity with aggregate. As asphalt emulsions are classified based on the electric charge surrounding their asphalt particles (cationic or anionic) and the speed at which the suspended asphalt particles separate from the surrounding water (breaking), CMS-2h falls into the medium-setting category. This classification indicates a moderate rate of emulsion breaking upon contact with aggregate. The versatility of Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h extends to its application in chip sealing, even when utilizing dirtier aggregate. However, due to its medium-setting nature, it may be necessary to adjust traffic control measures accordingly. It is important to note that the setting speed of any emulsion depends on the prevailing atmospheric conditions during construction. Choose Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h for its outstanding performance characteristics, enabling effective chip sealing and paving operations. Experience its reliability and adaptability, meeting the diverse requirements of asphalt projects.
APPLICATIONS OF CMS-2H
Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h exhibits remarkable curative properties, resulting in a robust asphalt film. Its high viscosity enables application at higher rates without the risk of runoff, making it particularly suitable for spray applications like single or multiple chip seals. In addition, this exceptional product finds its perfect utility in various premixing applications. With its appealing chocolate brown color and free-flowing liquid consistency at ambient temperature, CMS-2h proves highly effective for filling potholes and conducting patch repairs using open graded cold premix prepared on-site. Common methods employed for pothole repairs using asphalt emulsions include throw-and-roll and full-depth removal and replacement techniques.
RAHA OIL Asphalt Emulsion CMS-2h stands out as an excellent choice for patch repairing and pothole fixing. Below, you’ll find detailed instructions for the application of this versatile product:
- Remove water and debris from the pothole through thorough cleaning.
- Cut the damaged area into rectangular shapes with vertical sides.
- Eliminate any loose materials present in the pothole.
- Apply a spray tack coat of asphalt emulsion on the sides and bottom of the pothole.
- Mix clean and dry aggregates with HPCPL MS cationic bitumen emulsion.
- Typically, a mixture of 13.2 mm and 11.2 mm aggregates in a 2:1 ratio.
- The optimal content of HPCPL MS cationic bitumen emulsion is approximately 7% by weight of aggregates.
- Ensure a thorough and uniform coating by properly mixing the aggregates and emulsion.
- Continue mixing until the entire emulsion turns black in color, indicating complete breaking.
- Immediately fill the premix into the pothole, slightly exceeding the adjacent road surface level, and compact adequately.
- Once workers and equipment are clear, open the repaired pothole to traffic.
- For a cost-effective and efficient construction of a wearing course, the emulsion is commonly used for premix carpeting.
Embrace the versatility and high-quality performance of RAHA OIL Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h as you undertake various road repair and construction endeavors. Its superior characteristics ensure lasting results and satisfaction.
APPLICATION GUIDELINE
- Prepare the pavement surface meticulously by cleaning it thoroughly before applying the product.
- Exercise caution and refrain from applying the product if there is a chance of precipitation.
- To obtain accurate application temperature guidelines, we recommend reaching out to a knowledgeable RAHA OIL Marketing representative who can provide expert advice.
Design Guidelines: It is essential to develop comprehensive designs before commencing initial production and whenever there are changes in aggregate sources. Conducting thorough testing of the final product is highly recommended to ensure a high-quality seal. At RAHA OIL Technical Services, we provide comprehensive design services and conduct product quality analysis to assist you in achieving optimal results.
Spray Patching: Spray patching involves the alternating application of CMS-2h and aggregate to effectively repair deteriorated areas on the pavement surface. This technique can also be used to rectify depressions caused by rutting or ravelling on the road. The exceptional adhesion of CMS-2h ensures long-lasting repairs, enhancing the durability of the pavement.
Single or Multiple Chip Seals: For single or multiple chip seals, a controlled application of CMS-2h asphalt emulsion is applied to a properly prepared surface, followed by a controlled application of cover aggregate per lift. The aggregates should be single-sized, washed chips ranging in size from 6 mm (¼ in) to 19 mm (¾ in). By utilizing CMS-2h, you can achieve surface treatments that are highly durable, providing increased resistance to rutting and low-temperature cracking.
STORANGE AND HANDLING
TO ENSURE PROPER STORAGE AND HANDLING OF CMS-2H, FOLLOW THESE GUIDLINES:
- Store CMS-2h in bulk tanks, preferably in a vertical position to minimize surface area.
- Avoid exposing CMS-2h to freezing or boiling temperatures, as it can cause the emulsion to break. Maintain safe storage temperatures ranging from 10°C (50°F) to 85°C (185°F).
- If storing in bulk, it is recommended to mix the CMS-2h every 1 to 2 weeks, or more frequently in cold weather. Mixing can be performed using a paddle agitator (at a slow speed), loose gear pump, slow centrifugal pump, or any suitable low shear pump.
- Avoid agitating CMS-2h by bubbling air through it, as this can lead to excessive foam formation and potential emulsion breakage.
- Always use clean storage containers, ensuring that any prior contents are compatible with CMS-2h to prevent emulsion breakage.
- For sampling the emulsion, use approved and sealed containers exclusively.
