Frequently Asked Questions
Durapave Emulsis SS1 (IS) is a slow-setting, oil-based bituminous emulsion designed with low viscosity and extended setting time. It complies with IS 8887:2018 standards and is widely used in road construction for base preparation.
In practical applications, it is mainly used for:
- Prime coat application on WMM (Wet Mix Macadam) and WBM (Water Bound Macadam) surfaces
- Penetrating and binding granular base layers
- Creating a strong adhesive interface between the base and the asphalt layer
Its slow-setting nature allows deeper penetration into porous surfaces, making it ideal for strengthening road foundations before laying bituminous layers.
Durapave Emulsis SS1 offers several advantages when used as a prime coat in road construction:
- Deep penetration: It seeps into the base layer, ensuring effective bonding
- Sealing of surface voids: Helps close pores and prevent moisture ingress
- Binding loose particles: Stabilizes granular materials on the surface
- Improved adhesion: Enhances bonding between base and bituminous layers
- No heating required: Easy to apply and cost-effective
These benefits make it highly suitable for prime coat applications, especially on porous and granular road bases, ensuring long-term pavement performance.
Durapave Emulsis SS1 improves the durability of road base layers through multiple mechanisms:
- Strengthens the base: By penetrating deeply, it hardens and toughens the surface
- Prevents water damage: Seals capillary voids, reducing water infiltration and weakening
- Improves load distribution: Creates a stable and cohesive base layer
- Reduces dust and erosion: Binds loose aggregates, minimizing material loss
