What is RS-2 Bitumen Emulsion

RS-2 bitumen emulsion is a cationic rapid setting bitumen emulsion classified under the ASTM D2397 and AASHTO M208 specifications. It consists of finely divided bitumen droplets dispersed in water with the aid of an emulsifying agent. The cationic designation indicates that the bitumen droplets carry a positive electrical charge, which accelerates breaking when in contact with negatively charged aggregate surfaces.

The rapid setting classification means RS-2 emulsion breaks and develops cohesion quickly after application to road surfaces or aggregates. This characteristic makes it ideal for surface dressing, chip sealing, and tack coat applications where immediate trafficability is required. RS-2 is typically applied at ambient temperatures, reducing energy consumption compared to hot mix applications.

RS-2 cationic bitumen emulsion is widely used across emerging markets for road maintenance and construction due to its cost-effectiveness, environmental benefits from water-based application, and excellent adhesion to siliceous aggregates commonly found in road construction materials.

Applications of RS-2 Bitumen Emulsion

RS-2 cationic rapid setting bitumen emulsion is specifically designed for road maintenance and construction applications requiring rapid setting and immediate trafficability.

Tack Coat

Bonding layer between existing pavement and new asphalt overlay. Ensures structural integrity of multi-layer pavement systems.

Chip Seal

Single or double chip seal applications for road surfacing and preventive maintenance. Rapid setting enables quick reopening to traffic.

Surface Dressing

Retro-reflective road surface treatment with aggregate spreading. Provides improved skid resistance and waterproofing.

Pothole Repair

Cold patch repair using RS-2 emulsion mixed with aggregate. Cost-effective maintenance for localized pavement failures.

Fog Seal

Light asphalt emulsion spray for aging pavement rejuvenation. Seals minor cracks and restores pavement appearance.

Slurry Seal

Fine aggregate slurry mixed with RS-2 emulsion for low-cost preventive maintenance of urban roads and parking areas.
