Precautions To Be Taken To Ensure Best Results While Using Emulsion:
Cationic Emulsion is very user friendly material. It helps in numerous way s viz. faster execution of work, economy, safety for workforce and environment protection. However, there are some precautions to be taken while using these materials, which are listed below:
DO'S
- Use at ambient temperature
- Roll the bitumen emulsion drums 5 times before using.
- Use Emulsion at temperatures above 5 °C
- Aggregate may be washed before use for superior results
- Store unused quantities of Emulsion in air tight/closed container for subsequent use
- Emulsion can be used on wet aggregates during rainy season
- PH Controlled water may be added to the Emulsion for dilution@1:1, if required, for better control on
- Spraying and penetration. Entire quantity of thus diluted Emulsion must be used immediately for Prime Coat operation only.
DON’TS
- Do not store packed/ bulk Emulsion in open container/tank
- Do not mix different type of Emulsion together
- Do not heat Emulsion even found thick in consistency
- Never use Emulsion when it is raining continuously
- Do not store any quantity of diluted Emulsion
- Do not fill loose earth in poyholes before spraying Emulsion
- Do not spray Emulsion on a dusty surface
Recommended Rate Of Application
Typical rate of application of Trackcol Emulsion MS for preparation of mix is 7-8% by weight of aggregates.
