Product name: Bitumen Emulsion
Trade Name: Horimul
Type: Protective Coating for Roofing.
Description:
Bitumen emulsion is a heterogeneous, two-phase system consisting of two immiscible liquids, bitumen and aqueous phase, stabilized by an emulsifier. Emulsion in which the bitumen particles are negatively charged are anionic emulsion.
Uses:
- Used as a waterproofing and protective coating for foundations, basements.
- Used as a corrosion protection for the concrete in the building structures.
- Used in damp proof coating.
Advantages:
- Because of the low temperature of application and of storage, the possibility of heat degradation of the binder is minimized.
- High viscosity bitumen is retained in a form which may be used at low temperatures.
- The low temperature of application & storage minimizes hazards from fuming and improves safety and also reduces the energy.
- Fire risk is minimized.
Storage &Handling:
- Emulsions are normally stored at ambient temperatures between 25 — 35 °C.
- Emulsion in the tanks must be well mixed by agitators before usage.
- Emulsion in the drums is recommended to roll out for few minutes before usage.
Packaging:
- 20 litre pails and 200 litre drums.
- Bulk tankers.
Standards:
- Conforming to ASTM D- 1227,Type II Class I.
