RS Bitukold is a rapid setting, cold applied thixotropic bitumen emulsion designed for sealing vertical joints. The cationic formulation of RS Bitukold ensures a rapid set even in cold, damp conditions, with an initial cure taking place within 15 minutes. RS Bitukold is mainly used for the protection of new joints in freshly laid asphalt or macadam.

WHERE TO USE?

Transverse and longitudinal vertical joints
Horizontal cracks in asphaltic roads
Trench reinstatements
Patch repairs
Drain or manhole frames
Kerb channels

PREPARATION

RS Bitukold should not be applied in ambient temperatures of less than 5°C. Ensure surface is clean and free from loose material, oil, grease, standing water and weeds.

RS Bitukold should be applied at a rate of 0.7 – 1.5kg/m2 depending upon the texture and porosity of the surface and the application method.

For joints 50mm deep, a 15kg bucket covers approximately 200 linear metres. Saw cutting the edge of the joint will maximise the rate of spread.

PACKAGING

RS Bitukold is available in re-sealable 15kg black lidded buckets (36 x 15kg per pallet).
