What is K1-60 Bitumen Emulsion?

Bitumen Emulsion K1-60 is a cationic, rapid-setting emulsion containing a minimum of 57–60% bitumen dispersed in water with emulsifying agents. Compliant with BS 434 Part 1, it offers a medium-viscosity, cold-applied formula with higher bitumen content than K1-40, ideal for demanding surface dressing and patching applications in varied climates.

Bitumen Emulsion K1-60 is widely used for surface dressing, patching, and retreading existing road surfaces, along with tack coating between pavement layers. Its higher bitumen content also suits grouting, cold mix asphalt production, and prime coats for granular bases in road construction and maintenance projects worldwide year round consistently.

Black Rock Bitumen supplies Bitumen Emulsion K1-60 manufactured to BS 434 and MS 1.61 standards, ensuring consistent bitumen content, viscosity, and adhesion in every batch. Sourced from certified facilities and shipped through our Dubai logistics hub, our Bitumen Emulsion K1-60 delivers export-grade performance worldwide batch after batch reliably.

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    K1-60 is a cationic slow-setting bitumen emulsion with higher bitumen content, designed for slurry seal and surface treatment applications requiring improved durability and adhesion.

    K1-60 is a cationic bitumen emulsion where bitumen droplets carry a positive charge, enabling strong adhesion to negatively charged aggregates like stone and gravel. It is commonly used in road construction and maintenance works.

    K1-60 is widely used for tack coats, prime coats, surface dressing, patch repairs, and cold mix applications. It is suitable for both new road construction and maintenance projects.

    K1-60 can be applied at ambient temperatures, eliminating the need for heating. This improves safety, reduces fuel consumption, lowers emissions, and makes it ideal for quick and cost-effective road works.

    Yes. K1-60 performs well in humid and slightly damp conditions, as the cationic charge ensures faster breaking and better bonding with aggregates compared to anionic emulsions.

    K1-60 should be stored in clean tanks away from direct sunlight, preferably between 5°C and 50°C. Gentle circulation is recommended before use, and contamination with cement, lime, or debris should be avoided.

    K1-60 has a higher bitumen content (58–62%) than K1-40 (38–42%), giving it a thicker residual film suited to tack coats and heavier surface dressing, while K1-40 is typically used for prime coats and dust control where a lighter application is needed.

    Application rates vary by surface and project spec, but K1-60 tack coats are typically sprayed at low, uniform rates before the next asphalt layer to promote bonding, without leaving excess residual binder. Actual rates should follow project or client engineering specifications.

    Yes, Black Rock Bitumen supplies K1-60 in bulk from its Dubai facility, exporting via Jebel Ali Port under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms, with standard supply capacity of around 1,000 MT/month and 2–4 week lead times.
