Bitumen K160

Description of Bitumen Emulsion K1-60

Bitumen K160 is a medium viscosity emulsion produced in compliance with KS 02-769: 1990 standards. It is a cold-applied, liquid emulsion suitable for pavement construction and repair. The cationic nature of this emulsion ensures strong bonding with aggregates and existing surfaces.

Uses of Cationic Bitumen K160

Asphalt k-160 is commonly used as follows.

Tack Coat: Provides bonding between existing surfaces and overlays.

Surface Dressing: Suitable for patching, retread, and similar applications.

Sealing Treatments: Used in single or multiple surface treatments, sand seals, and penetration macadam.

Application Conditions for Bitumen Emulsion K1-60

Apply K1-60 at ambient temperatures between 5°C and 35°C at a spray rate of 0.25 to 0.70 liters per square meter. Ensure dry, frost-free conditions during application. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning and priming, enhances the performance of this emulsion.

Preparation and Application Guidelines

Surfaces must be dry, clean, and free from contaminants.

Use suitable equipment for application, such as spray machines conforming to BS3136 standards.

Apply evenly to avoid ponding and ensure uniform distribution.

Follow recommended application rates for optimal results.

Packing of Bitumen Emulsion K1-60

K1-60 is available in bulk as IBC Tank or Flexi Tank, as well as in reconditioned or new steel drums of 200 liters capacity. Proper handling and storage of the emulsion ensure its stability and usability.

Advantages of Bitumen Emulsion K1-60
