Bitumen Emulsion K1-70 is a cationic rapid setting bitumen emulsion that contains 67% bitumen. It is a medium viscosity emulsion used mainly for coating in normal overlay and patching work. Bitumen emulsion K1-700 is chocolate brown in color and is a free-flowing liquid at ambient temperature and is commonly used for Tack-Coating as well.
Application of Bitumen Emulsion K 1-70
K1-70 adheres exceptionally well, even in damp conditions. The overlay is held securely in place and the entry of water between road pavement courses is hindered. K1-70 may be used as a tack coat in special cases where night construction or high humidity exists. Bitumen Emulsion K1-70, because of its higher bitumen content, is generally used for surface dressing, patching, retread, and other similar applications.
