Redicote E-17

Redicote E-17 is a liquid emulsifier formulated for cationic bitumen emulsions, particularly those with rapid- and medium-setting properties. These emulsions find application in various road construction processes, including chip seal, tack coat, and open-graded cold mix. In addition to emulsification, Redicote E-17 acts as an adhesion promoter, enhancing the bonding between bitumen and surfaces like pre-coated chips, cutback bitumen, or soft bitumen.

Product Highlights
  • Low use level : 0.15-0.22% is normally sufficient for rapid-set emulsions.
  • Medium emulsion viscosity : Redicote E-17 produces high residue cationic rapidsetting emulsions with moderate viscosity build, suitable for most bitumen types.
  • Easy handling and storage : Redicote E-17 is a low viscosity liquid, easily soluble in the kerosene used in pre-coated chippings, and easily dissolved during the preparation of emulsion soap phase.
  • Active adhesion : Bitumen treated with Redicote E-17 has the ability to displace water from the surface of aggregates.
