A synthetic SBR latex emulsion for the modification and enhancement of cationic bitumen emulsions.

A versatile synthetic SBR latex that can be used to enhance the performance of surface treatments such as: surface dressing, micro surfacing and bond coats. The improvement in binder properties means that any surface treatments applied with Emulflex™CL have greater durability and will deliver premium performance for longer.

Features

Improved cohesion across a larger temperature range
Enhanced binder rheology; higher stiffness and improved elastic recovery
Improved adhesion and chipping retention
Enhanced low temperature flexibility and reduced tendency for cracking.

Product Information

Emulflex™ CL can be used in slurry seal & micro surfacing emulsions to build up cohesion quickly, retain aggregate, improve low temperature flexibility, increase high temperature stiffness and prevent cracking.

Emulflex™ CL enhances chip seal/surface dressing binders by increasing chipping retention, binder cohesion, elasticity and high temperature stiffness whilst reducing low temperature brittleness and cracking of the base binder.

Emulflex™ CL can be added to the bitumen emulsion either before or after the milling process. It is compatible with most emulsifier systems commonly in use and it produces a residual binder with far superior in-situ performance compared to that of a standard emulsion.

Note: Raw material selection and the formulation of bitumen emulsions are both crucial in obtaining optimum performance of modified emulsions. Contact Macismo’s technical department for assistance on team@macismo.com.
