Bitumen MS2 Overview
Bitumen MS2, with its negative charge, plays a crucial role in the Industrial Coatings Industry. Its unique properties and applications are vital for understanding its significance in various construction and surfacing tasks.
Anionic and Cationic Emulsions Interaction
When Anionic Emulsion MS-2 interacts with Cationic Emulsion, a notable bond forms, altering the substance to a solid state. While this transformation isn’t suitable for coatings due to application limitations, it highlights the chemical dynamics within emulsions.
Grades and Breaking Characteristics
Anionic emulsions come in different grades with varying breaking characteristics. Understanding these grades is pivotal for selecting the right emulsion type based on specific application needs, whether for surface dressing or mixtures.
Bitumen MS2 Applications
Anionic Slow Setting Bitumen Emulsion MS-2 serves as a versatile waterproofing solution, applicable in diverse scenarios such as Pre Mix Carpet, Patchwork, building applications, and surfacing concrete and metal surfaces. Its user-friendly nature, including ease of application with tools like painting brushes, squeegees, airless sprays, and rollers, enhances its utility.
Recommended Application Rate
As per the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), Bitumen MS2 recommended application rate ensures optimal performance in Pre Mix Carpet and Patchwork applications, adhering to industry standards.
Packing for MS-2
The packaging of Anionic Bitumen Emulsion MS-2 prioritizes containment and safety, employing new thick steel drums on pallets to prevent leaks. Bulk packaging options in bitutainers and tankers further enhance convenience and efficiency in handling and transportation
