Certainly! Here's a comparison chart highlighting the key differences between RS1 and RS2 bitumen emulsions:
| Feature | RS1 Bitumen Emulsion | RS2 Bitumen Emulsion |
|---|---|---|
| Application | Used for surface treatments, chip seals, and tack coats | Ideal for surface treatments, including chip seals and fog seals |
| Setting Time | Rapid setting within minutes after application | Sets relatively faster compared to RS1 |
| Aggregate Compatibility | Compatible with a wide range of aggregates | Suitable for various types of aggregates, offering versatility |
| Mixing Requirements | Requires minimal mixing and agitation | Requires thorough mixing for uniform distribution |
| Traffic Opening Time | Can be opened to traffic shortly after application | Opens to traffic within hours of application |
| Residue on Sieve | < 0.1% retained on 75-micron sieve | Typically < 0.2% retained on 75-micron sieve |
| Residue on Evaporation | < 0.2% residue by mass (cement content) | Typically < 0.5% residue by mass (cement content) |
| Stability | Exhibits high initial stability and rapid bonding to aggregate | Offers good stability and bonding properties |
| Weather Resistance | Demonstrates good resistance to weather and precipitation | Provides adequate resistance to weather conditions |
