Applications

STARACID CF is a product realized for slow setting bituminous emulsions and particularly stable, destined to the road construction and maintenance using cold technology.

Advantages

The use of STARACID CF guarantees the production of emulsions with times of breach many slow and above all stable emulsions. STARACID CF comes dissolved in the water-phase batch tank of the emulsion plant to the temperature of 35- 45°C and subsequently saponified with hydrochloric acid.

Modality of Use

The dosage of STARACID CF varies in accordance to the application and stability of the bituminous emulsions. Normally the dosage varies from 0,50% to 1,50% of the final emulsion weight.

Formulation guideline for a slow setting emulsion

70/100 Bitumen	60% p.p.
STARFLUX RG 2278	2% p.p. of the bitumen
STARDOPE 140	0,5% p.p. of the bitumen
Water	q.b. 100% p.p.
STARACID CF	1.5% p.p. of the emulsion
Hydrochloric Acid	pH soapy solution 1-3

Package

190 kg net in steel drums.

Storage

STARACID CF can be stored for 36 months in original and closed pack. In function of the storage temperature the product can assume a doughy consistency, however the qualitative characteristics are not at risk.
