    What is SS-1H Bitumen Emulsion?

    SS-1H (Slow Setting – Grade 1 High Viscosity) is an anionic bitumen emulsion formulated with a negative electrical charge, allowing it to interact effectively with positively charged aggregates.

    Key characteristics:

    • Slow-breaking emulsion → allows extended mixing and application time
    • Higher viscosity than SS-1 → thicker coating and improved durability
    • Harder residue (“H” grade) → better performance in hot climates and heavy-duty use
    • Water-based system → safe, energy-efficient, and easy to apply

    Unlike rapid-setting emulsions:

    • SS-1H does not break immediately
    • Enables uniform aggregate coating before curing
    • Ideal for mixing, stabilization, and sealing applications

    Applications of SS-1H Emulsion

    Tack Coat

    Provides stronger bonding between asphalt layers, especially in high-temperature environments.

    Slurry Seal

    Ensures uniform coating of fine aggregates and improved surface durability.

    Cold Mix Asphalt

    Allows sufficient mixing time before setting, ensuring proper aggregate coating.

    Sub-base Stabilization

    Improves load-bearing capacity and reduces deformation.

    Advantages of SS-1h Emulsion

    Strong Adhesion

    Bonds effectively with aggregates and surfaces.

    Excellent Workability

    Allows easy mixing, spreading, and handling.

    Cold Application

    No heating required, ensuring safer operations.

    Uniform Coating

    Ensures consistent coverage and better performance.

    Slow Setting

    Provides extended working time for mixing and application.

    Good Penetration

    Effectively penetrates base layers for strong bonding.
