Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h

Description of Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h

Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h is a blend of bitumen, water, and emulsifying agents. It serves as an alternative to traditional hot bitumen due to its ease of application at lower temperatures, reduced environmental impact, and versatility in different weather conditions. CMS-2h is a specific formulation of bitumen emulsion that caters to the demands of modern road construction and maintenance. Its “h” designation indicates a harder base bitumen, making it particularly suitable for use in high-stress areas or regions with extreme climates, where enhanced durability and resistance to deformation are essential.

This emulsion is commonly used in surface treatments, patching, and cold mix applications, offering reliable performance and extended service life.

Application of Bitumen Emulsion CMS-2h

• Cold Mix Asphalt: Bitumen emulsion CMS-2h can be used to create cold mix asphalt. In this application, the emulsion is mixed with aggregates (such as gravel and sand) at ambient temperatures to create a workable mixture. Cold mix asphalt is used for patching potholes, repairing small sections of roads, and performing quick, cost-effective repairs.
• Construction of Low-Traffic Roads: CMS-2h emulsion is suitable for the construction of low-traffic or rural roads, where the use of hot mix asphalt may not be cost-effective or feasible. It allows for road construction at ambient temperatures, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact.
• Anti-Corrosion Coatings: Bitumen emulsions, including CMS-2h, can be used as protective coatings for industrial equipment, pipelines, tanks, and structures to prevent corrosion. The emulsion is applied to the surface, forming a durable and waterproof barrier that inhibits the contact of moisture or corrosive substances with the underlying metal.
• Adhesive and Sealing Compounds: CMS-2h can be used as an ingredient in adhesives and sealants, particularly in situations where a waterproof and durable bond is required.
• Soundproofing: Bitumen emulsions can be used as a component in soundproofing materials for industrial buildings, equipment enclosures, and sound barriers. They help dampen sound vibrations and reduce noise pollution.

Advantage of Bitumen  Emulsion CMS-2h

Emulsion CMS-2h is a cost-effective solution for road construction and maintenance, as it requires less energy for production and application compared to hot bitumen, resulting in significant cost savings.

Once cured, it offers excellent water resistance, effectively protecting the underlying road layers from moisture-related damage. Additionally, when used in surface treatments, CMS-2h enhances skid resistance, contributing to improved road safety by reducing the risk of accidents on slippery surfaces.

Properties of Bitumen CMS-2h

CMS-2h bitumen emulsion is characterized by its moderately high viscosity, typically ranging from 30 to 150 cSt at 25°C, which allows for easy handling and application at ambient temperatures, and can be adjusted to meet specific project needs. It features a relatively quick setting time, enabling the emulsion to break and cure soon after application, ensuring strong bonding with the substrate.

CMS-2h also demonstrates excellent cohesion and adhesion properties, making it highly effective in tack coats and surface treatments. Additionally, its slightly acidic pH level, generally between 2.5 and 5.5, enhances both emulsion stability and bonding performance.

Safety Tips of CMS-2h
