What is CRS-2 bitumen emulsion used for?

CRS-2 bitumen emulsion is primarily used for chip seals, tack coats, surface dressing, fog seals, and cold mix asphalt applications. Its higher viscosity provides superior aggregate coating and retention for durable surface treatments.

What does rapid setting mean?

Rapid setting refers to the rate at which the emulsion breaks and releases water upon contact with aggregates. CRS-2 breaks quickly, making it suitable for surface treatments where immediate trafficking or subsequent paving is required.

Is CRS-2 suitable for chip seal applications?

Yes, CRS-2 is specifically designed and widely used for chip seal applications. Its higher viscosity and 65-70% bitumen content provide superior film thickness on aggregate surfaces, resulting in better aggregate retention and longer-term durability.

How is CRS-2 bitumen emulsion transported?

CRS-2 is transported in sealed bulk tankers, steel drums, IBC tanks, or flexi bags for containerized shipment. As a water-based product, it requires protection from freezing and has a typical shelf life of 3 months when properly stored.

What is CRS-2 Bitumen Emulsion

CRS-2 is a cationic rapid setting bitumen emulsion classified according to its setting speed and viscosity characteristics. The "2" designation indicates higher viscosity compared to CRS-1, with a bitumen content range of 65-70%. As a cationic emulsion, the bitumen droplets carry a positive electrical charge, facilitating rapid attraction and adhesion to negatively charged siliceous aggregate surfaces.

The rapid setting classification indicates that CRS-2 breaks quickly upon contact with aggregates, releasing water and allowing the bitumen to coat and bind aggregate particles. The higher viscosity of CRS-2 provides superior film thickness on aggregate surfaces, resulting in better coating and longer-term durability in surface treatment applications.

CRS-2 bitumen emulsion is primarily used for chip seals, tack coats, surface dressing, and fog seals. Its water-based formulation offers environmental advantages, reducing solvent emissions and improving worker safety during application compared to cutback bitumens.
