Petra Oil’s MS-2 is a premium-grade medium setting anionic bitumen emulsion specifically engineered for mixing with coarse aggregates in road construction and maintenance works. The term “MS-2” stands for Medium Setting – Grade 2, indicating a formulation that allows sufficient mixing time while ensuring timely curing. MS-2 is ideal for producing cold mix asphalt, patch repair, and surface dressing in environments where a controlled setting rate is essential.

MS-2 is suitable for both plant and site-mixed applications, offering flexibility across various project conditions. It provides a balanced performance profile—neither too rapid to limit working time nor too slow to delay construction. This emulsion is particularly beneficial in rural and semi-urban road projects where consistent quality and ease of application are crucial.

The cold application nature of MS-2 enhances operational safety and reduces energy consumption by eliminating the need for heating. Its excellent adhesion and coating capabilities ensure a uniform mix, even with dusty or dry aggregates.
