Petra Oil’s Anionic Bitumen Emulsion SS-1 is a slow-setting bitumen emulsion designed for various applications in road construction and maintenance. Formulated using a carefully balanced mix of bitumen, water, and anionic emulsifying agents, SS-1 is engineered to provide excellent workability, adhesion, and performance across a wide range of surfaces and climatic conditions. This product is particularly effective in surface treatments and tack coat applications, helping to ensure strong bonding between existing surfaces and new asphalt layers.

As a water-based emulsion, SS-1 offers significant advantages in terms of safety, environmental sustainability, and ease of application. It eliminates the need for heating during application, reducing energy consumption and minimizing the risk of burns or fire hazards. Moreover, its slow-setting nature ensures better penetration and longer working time, making it an ideal choice for projects that require precision and control.

Key Specifications:

• Type: Anionic Bitumen Emulsion (SS-1)
• Setting Time: Slow Setting
• Standard Compliance: IS 8887:2018
• Application Temperature: Ambient (No heating required)

Main Applications of SS-1:

• Tack Coat: SS-1 is widely used as a tack coat to enhance adhesion between existing pavement layers and new asphalt overlays. Its superior bonding characteristics ensure greater pavement durability and minimize delamination risks.
• Prime Coat on Low-Traffic Roads: It can also be used as a prime coat for granular base courses in low-volume roads, enhancing binding and dust control.
• Fog Seals and Surface Treatments: Ideal for fog sealing aged asphalt surfaces and for use in light surface treatments to rejuvenate and extend pavement life.

Benefits of SS-1:

• Strong Adhesion: Ensures effective bonding between pavement layers, improving overall structural integrity.
• Cold Application: Easy and safe to apply without the need for heating, reducing energy use and operational risks.
• Eco-Friendly: Water-based formulation makes it more environmentally friendly compared to hot bitumen.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of maintenance and construction tasks in both rural and urban settings.
