Redicote E-11 : Emulsifier for cationic slow set bitumen emulsions
Redicote E-11 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.Excellent emulsion quality at low dosage. Can be used without acid in the soap.
Benefits and Features
- Low use level: Good quality slow set emulsions are formed at low use level.
- Easy handling: The low viscosity, low pour point and water solubility of Redicote E-11 makes it easy to use both as emulsifier and as a break control additive (retarder) for slurry. .
- Good adhesion: Emulsions made with Redicote E-11 provide good adhesion to siliceous aggregates
- No need for acid: No acid is required for soap preparation. Emulsions may be prepared at neutral pH.
- 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.
