Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1 h
BITUMEN EMULSION CSS-1 H
A COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW
Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1 h with a minimum bitumen content of 57% is known as Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1h. It is properly produced in accordance with ASTM D 2397M-13 standard and is black in color. It is the perfect solution for prime coating on very porous surfaces thanks to its specifically developed water-based bitumen emulsion’s high viscosity and prolonged setting time. It is a free-flowing liquid with a dark brown tint at room temperature. Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1 h is a Cationic asphalt emulsion that sets slowly and is intended for use in a variety of industrial and paving applications. The electric charge that surrounds the asphalt particles in an emulsion (i.e., whether it is cationic or anionic) and how rapidly the suspended asphalt particles separate from the surrounding water (breaking) are used to classify asphalt emulsions. To increase mixing time with aggregates, a slow-setting emulsion is created. On dense-graded aggregates with a high fines concentration, longer workability periods guarantee an excellent coating. Dense graded, high fines content aggregates with longer workability times guarantee effective coating. Any emulsion’s setting speed will vary depending on the weather when it was created.
APPLICATION OF CATIONIC EMULSION CSS-1 H
One of the most commonly used types of bitumen for road construction is CSS-1 h. It is mainly used as prime coat. In asphalt construction, prime coat bonds the binder course to the permeable base course. Thus the asphalt base can be maintained by CSS-1 h. It is designed for use in slurry seals to protect airports and urban roads. The slow setting property of CSS-1 h makes it ideal to cover surfaces in areas with very fine and eroded soil to prevent dust from spreading. It can be used successfully for soil stabilization, tack coats, fog seals, and as a dust suppressant. CSS-1 h is a safe and environmentally friendly alternative to cutbacks. One non-paving use is the mulch treatment of soil that has been seeded and fertilized. This work leads to the prevention of soil erosion and maintains the moisture and richness of the soil. It can be used to make cold asphalt mixture where hot mix asphalt cannot be used.

BITUMEN EMULSION CSS-1 H
Some specific laboratory tests are conducted to recognize CSS-1 h quality. Bitumen emulsion tests names and their standard measurement methods are listed below:
- Residue by Evaporation Test (INSO13580)
- Sieve Test (ASTM D6933)
- Saybolt Viscosity Test (ASTM D7496)
- Distillation Test
- Storage Stability Test (ASTM D6930)
- Density Test
STORAGE AND HANDLING OF CSS-1 H
- Bulk tanks should be used to store CSS-1 h, preferably vertically, to reduce surface area.
- Never let CSS-1 h boil or freeze since it will crack. The range of acceptable storage temperatures is 10°C (50°F) to 85°C (185°F).
- Mix the CSS-1 h in bulk storage every one to two weeks (more frequently in cold weather).
- Paddle agitators, loose gear pumps, slow centrifugal pumps, or other appropriate low shear pumps can all be used for mixing.
- To avoid breaking the Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1 h, avoid agitating it by blowing air through it to produce excessive foam.
- Always use spotless containers for storing. The emulsion may break if previous contents are not compatible with CSS- 1h.
PACKING OF BITUMEN EMULSION
RAHA OIL Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1 h Packing must maintain emulsion stability and prevent leakage. In addition to preventing the Bitumen Emulsion from leaking, proper packaging should prevent the Bitumen Emulsion from being exposed to environmental conditions.
