General Description of Cationic Bitumen Emulsion K1-70
Bitumen Emulsion consists of three primary ingredients: Bitumen, an emulsifying agent, and water. Moreover, Bitumen Emulsion K1-70 contains a minimum of 67% Bitumen and is commonly used for tack-coating. Additionally, it is a medium viscosity, cationic rapid-set bitumen emulsion, ideal for tack coating in normal overlay and patching work. Furthermore, it can be used for grouting and is manufactured according to KS 02-769: 1990 standards.
Uses of Cationic Bitumen Emulsion K1-70
- Firstly, single surface treatment enhances durability.
- Secondly, multiple surface treatment ensures long-lasting performance.
- In addition, sand seal provides better surface protection.
It is also suitable for penetration macadam, especially for small voids. Moreover, K1-70 can be used as a tack coat in special cases such as night construction or high humidity. Since cationic emulsions are applicable at ambient temperatures, they work with aggregates that do not need to be completely dry. As a result, they are less hazardous and versatile under various conditions.
Application of Cationic Emulsion Bitumen K1-70
Interestingly, Bitumen Emulsion K1-70 can be applied at ambient temperatures. In fact, the recommended spray rate ranges from 0.25 to 0.70 liters per square meter (0.05 to 0.15 gallons per square yard), depending on the specific application needs. Consequently, it ensures optimal performance.
Packing of Cationic Emulsion Bitumen K1-70
- Bulk packaging in IBC Tanks or Flexi Tanks, which allows for efficient transport.
- Reconditioned steel drums (200 liters), providing sustainable storage.
- Additionally, new steel drums (200 liters) ensure product integrity.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from buyers about Bitumen Emulsion K1-70:
Q1: What are the main applications of Bitumen Emulsion K1-70?
A1: K1-70 is mainly used for spray sealing, surface dressing, and tack coats, where rapid setting ensures quick adhesion and traffic opening.
Q2: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A2: MOQ usually starts from 20 MT in drums or IBC tanks. Bulk tanker orders (100 MT+) are more cost-effective for export buyers.
Q3: What packaging options are available?
A3: Bitumen K1-70 is supplied in 200 kg drums, 1 MT IBC tanks, or in bulk tankers. Packaging is SGS certified and export-ready worldwide.
Q4: Do you provide certificates and quality assurance?
A4: Yes. Each order comes with COA, MSDS, ASTM/EN compliance. Independent inspections (SGS, BV, GeoChem) can be arranged before shipment.
Q5: What are the delivery and payment terms?
A5: Delivery usually takes 7–12 days after confirmation. Payment options include TT (Telegraphic Transfer) and LC (Letter of Credit), flexible for bulk buyers.
