Redicote E-11 HF : Emulsifier for cationic slow set bitumen emulsions
Redicote E-11 HF is produced by Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry an emulsifier for cationic slow set bitumen emulsions for tack, prime, slurry seal and cold mix applications. Break retarder for slurry.Non-flammable version of Redicote E-11 for safer handling
Benefits and Features
- Low use level: Good quality slow set emulsions are formed at low use level.
- Easy and safe handling: The low pour point, high flash point and water solubility of Redicote E-11 HF makes it easy and safe to use both as emulsifier and as a break control additive (retarder) for slurry.
- Good adhesion: Emulsions made with Redicote E-11 HF provide good adhesion to siliceous aggregates
- No need for acid: No acid is required for soap preparation.
- No APEs: The product does not contain alkylphenolethoxylates.
Dosage
Cationic Slow Set Emulsion 0.6-1.5% pH 2-6 Hydrochloric acid No acid is required to prepare stable emulsions.
