SS-1 is a slow-setting, low-viscosity oil-based bitumen emulsion with an extended setting time. It is specifically designed for use as a prime coat and manufactured in accordance with the IS 8887:2018 standard.
| Properties | Slow Setting-1 |
|---|---|
| Residue on 600 micron IS Sieve, % Max | 0.05 |
| Viscosity @ 25 °C (Saybolt Viscometer), Sec | 20-100 |
| Water content, percentage by mass, Max. | 20 |
| Residue at 360 °C, percentage, Min. | 50 |

Bitumen emulsion-SS 2 (SLOW SETTING) is a slow-setting bitumen emulsion used for various construction applications. It is a cold-mix material that can be applied at ambient temperatures without heating. The emulsion is composed of bitumen, water, and an emulsifying agent that keeps the bitumen and water uniformly mixed. Bitumen emulsion-SS 2 has excellent adhesion to most surfaces, including concrete, and can be used for tack coats, prime coats, fog seals, and dust suppression. It sets slowly, providing ample time for application and ensures good bonding with the surface.
| Properties | Slow Setting-2 |
|---|---|
| Residue on 600 micron IS Sieve, % Max | 0.05 |
| Viscosity @ 25 °C (Saybolt Viscometer), Sec | 30-150 |
| Storage Stability after 24 Hours, % | Less than 2 |
| Binder residue by evaporation, % Min. | 60 |
| Coagulation at low temperature | Nil |
Medium-Setting (MS) bitumen emulsion is specifically designed to be mixed with coarse aggregates for premix applications. Unlike other emulsions, MS does not immediately break upon contact with aggregates, providing a few minutes of workable time for fixing the aggregates. This type of emulsion is highly recommended for surface dressing work and is manufactured in compliance with IS 8887:2018 standards.
| Properties | Medium Setting-1 |
|---|---|
| Residue on 600 micron IS Sieve, % Max | 0.05 |
| Viscosity @ 50 °C (Saybolt Viscometer), Sec | 50-300 |
| Storage Stability after 24 Hours, % | Less than 1 |
| Binder residue by evaporation, % Min. | 65 |
| Coagulation at low temperature | Nil |
Cold mix emulsion is a versatile and durable asphalt product that is ideal for road repairs, pothole filling, and patching. It is a ready-to-use mixture of bitumen emulsion, fine aggregates, and water that can be applied directly to damaged areas without heating. Our product is easy to apply and cures quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to traffic flow.
