RMS K1-60

K1-60 is a rapid breaking cationic bitumen emulsion primarily designed to be used as a cold applied tack coat, according to BS EN 13808:2013 as Bitumen Emulsion C60B3. K1-60 can also be used as a surface dressing binder for small areas such as paths and landscaping projects.

Dispensing taps also available for 200L Drums:   3/4" Brass Tap

Where to use

For tack coat application, K1-60 should be spray-applied following the guidance and rates of spread advised in BS 594987. The emulsion film should be allowed to fully break (turn black) before the overlay is applied. Guidance for surface dressing applications is available in TRL Road Note 39.

Sealing of formation and sub-bases – 0.9 L/m² – 1.8 L/m²
Surface dressing – 1.4 L/m² – 1.6 L/m²

Recommended Spraying Temperature:

Ambient (5°C – 35°C) or if required heated to 50°C.

k1-60 can be used at the ambient temperature at the spray rate of 0.25 to 0.70 litre per square meter (0.05 to 0.15 gallon per square yard).

This grade must only be applied in dry, frost-free conditions which will remain throughout the film drying period. Temperatures of between 5°C and 35°C should prevail.

Before application drums should be well rolled to agitate contents before use. Cationic emulsions should be applied by brushing with hand broom or squeegee. Spread in one direction only and avoid scrubbing often. It is more practical to apply by spray as this provides a uniform distribution and even film. Spray equipment should conform to BS3136: Specification for Cold Emulsion Spraying Machines for Roads.
Spray evenly to avoid ponding in hollows as this may cause localized “fatting up” of the subsequent courses.
