Intro Bitumen is a fundamental component in millions of road-construction and construction projects as an effective binder that endures over the years. Among the various types of bitumen available, cutback bitumen and bitumen emulsion stand out as two primary options. Each has distinct characteristics, applications, and benefits. Understanding their differences is crucial in selecting the […]
Intro Bitumen is a versatile material that, through different processes, may be applied to a wide variety of uses in construction and industries. It is available as oxidized bitumen and penetration bitumen, both with very different properties and applications according to the manufacturing process and characteristics involved. In this article, we will understand the Differences […]
Australian Grade Bitumen C600 Description Australian Grade Bitumen C600 is a highly rigid bitumen grade with the ability to resist extreme stress and high temperatures. It is ideal for very severe environments such as major highways, industrial roads, and areas exposed to high-intensity heat and heavy traffic because of its stiffness, which provides superior resistance […]
Description of Cutback Bitumen SC-70 Cutback bitumen SC-70 is a mixture of bitumen and kerosene, used to reduce the viscosity of bitumen in road pavements. This reduces the bitumen’s viscosity, aiding in the construction of seal coats. The cutback agent evaporates from the seal coat, becoming a negligible component a few months after application. However, […]
what is Anionic Bitumen Emulsion RS-2? Anionic Bitumen Emulsion RS-2 is a specialized emulsion with unique properties suitable for various applications. It is classified based on breaking characteristics, with rapid-setting emulsions for surface dressing and medium or slow-setting emulsions for blending with aggregates. Rapid-setting emulsions are not suitable for mixing with aggregates due to their […]
The first difference between caustic soda flakes and liquid caustic soda is their appearance. In this article, we want to talk more about the difference between these two products. Description Caustic soda, a vital chemical in many industries, is manufactured and marketed in two forms: solid caustic soda flakes and liquid caustic soda. Each form […]
It is usually divided into two heads, namely semi-refined and full-refined. The basic difference between the two types is in the intensity of processing and, hence all other characteristics concerning them. Semi-refined paraffin wax Semi-refined paraffin wax is less refined and, therefore, contains a much higher oil content, which normally ranges between 1% and 10%. […]
Caustic soda Description Caustic soda, also known as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is a strong metallic base used in various industries and for cleaning. It is highly corrosive and reactive, and can be found in various forms such as flakes, pellets, and a 50% liquid solution with water. It is hygroscopic and easily absorbs water molecules […]
Caustic Soda Liquid Description Caustic Soda Liquid, also known as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), is an inorganic compound with strong alkaline properties. The production of Caustic Soda involves the electrolysis of salt brine, which creates a colorless, viscous liquid. This 47% concentration product, packed in 25L containers, effectively decomposes proteins at ambient temperatures. It can also […]
Caustic Soda Flakes Description Caustic Soda Flakes, also known as sodium hydroxide, is a highly caustic and alkaline chemical compound used in industrial and commercial applications. It is a white, solid substance with a crystalline appearance and is soluble in water and alcohol. It is classified in the group of corrosive chemicals and is obtained […]
