BPCL supplies Bitumen Emulsions from various locations. Bitumen Emulsions offers versatility and convenience / ease of handling at ambient temperature.
Emulsions supplied by BPCL confirms to conforms to IS 8887: 2018/ ASTM D 2397 CSS- 1h for Solvent based & water based Cationic type Emulsions.
Bitumen Emulsion RS-1 is a water-based bitumen emulsion with a rapid setting that has a low viscosity. RS-1 is Ideal for surface dressing and tack coat applications, RS1 ensures quick setting and strong adhesion to aggregates. RS-1 meets the specification as per IS 8887:2018.
Application:
Bitumen Emulsions are mostly used for road construction – Tack coat, Prime coat, Liquid seal coat, Patch work etc. Bitumen Emulsions are Superior to conventional bitumen in certain.
Rapid development, exponential increase in traffic and significant variations in daily and seasonal temperatures have shown some limitations in conventional bitumen binder performance. These limitations include early onset of Rutting, Cracking, Pot-holes etc. This has necessitated the development of Modified Bitumen variants which enhance the properties and strength of Bituminous Pavements.
One such variant is Natural Rubber Modified Bitumen (NRMB). As the name indicates, in this variant natural rubber is used to improve a number of properties like ductility/ elastic recovery and water resistance of Bitumen.
There are three grades viz. NRMB 40, 70 & 120. The nomenclature is based on the midpoint of the penetration range. NRMB is manufactured at our Kochi Refinery in Kerala.
Application
NRMB is recommended for use in locations which experience high ambient temperatures and wide variation between the maximum & minimum temperatures. It is specially recommended for traffic signals, major junctions on highways etc. which experience plying of slow speed heavy traffic.
USPs: as per latest specifications
PESO class: Excluded class

SS1 Emulsions: SS-1 is a solvent based slow-setting bitumen that has a lower viscosity. Suitable for prime coat and fog seal applications, SS1 offers extended workability and superior penetration. SS-1 solvent based meets the specification as per IS 8887:2018. SS-1 water based meets the specifications of ASTM D 2397 CSS-1h.
