Anionic Bitumen emulsion SS-1h is slow-setting, anionic type which made by hard bitumen and are further characterized by their ability to remain stable on storage although produced with equipment that generates a wide range of shearing forces.
For anionic and emulsions, there are several grades of different breaking characteristics. Rapid-setting emulsions are used for surface dressing, while medium or slow-setting emulsions are used for ‘mixtures’, that is mixed with aggregate either in concrete-type mixers or in situ.
Application of Bitumen Emulsion SS1h
Usage of anionic bitumen emulsion SS-1h is two phases of water and bitumen which are not possible to mix and the first interphase is inside of outer phase. The particle size of the emulsion is 0.1 to 5 micron. In normal conditions and without emulsifier the two parts of emulsion SS1h is unstable and quickly will segregate. By adding emulsifier into water and bitumen that is the alkaline salt with Ammonium Salt in the high-speed mixer at ISO condition making bitumen SS-1h.
