What is SS-1H bitumen emulsion used for?

SS-1H bitumen emulsion is primarily used for tack coats, slurry seals, microsurfacing, fog seals, and pavement repair applications. Its slow setting rate allows for thorough aggregate coating and even distribution.

What does slow setting mean?

Slow setting refers to the rate at which the emulsion breaks and releases water upon contact with aggregates. SS-1H breaks gradually over an extended period, providing longer working time for thorough aggregate coating. The H indicates a harder base bitumen.

Is SS-1H suitable for tack coat applications?

Yes, SS-1H is specifically designed and widely used for tack coat applications. Its slow setting rate provides excellent workability and thorough coating of the existing pavement surface, creating a strong bond between pavement layers.

How is SS-1H bitumen emulsion transported?

SS-1H 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 6 months when properly stored.

What is SS-1H Bitumen Emulsion

SS-1H is an anionic slow setting bitumen emulsion classified according to its setting rate and base bitumen hardness. The "SS" designation indicates slow setting, meaning the emulsion breaks gradually over an extended period, allowing for thorough aggregate coating and even distribution. The "1H" indicates it uses a harder base bitumen compared to SS-1, providing improved adhesion and cohesion properties.

As an anionic emulsion, the bitumen droplets carry a negative electrical charge, making them attracted to positively charged aggregate surfaces. This formulation provides excellent workability and long working time, making SS-1H particularly suitable for applications requiring careful placement and thorough coating.

SS-1H bitumen emulsion is widely used for tack coats, slurry seals, microsurfacing, and fog seals where the slow setting rate allows for proper curing and excellent bond development between pavement layers.
