Applications

STARACID LB is a product realized for tack-coat bituminous emulsions, destined to the roads construction and maintenance.

Advantages

STARACID LB can be used for fast and medium setting emulsions production. STARACID LB is dissolved in the water-phase batch tank of the emulsion plant at a temperature of 35- 45°C and subsequently saponified with hydrochloric acid.

Modality of Use

The dosage of STARACID LB varies in accordance to the application and stability of the bituminous emulsions. Normally the batching varies from 0,30% to 0,60% of the final emulsion weight.

Formulation guideline for medium setting emulsion

70/100 Bitumen	55% p.p.
STARFLUX ST	2% p.p. of the bitumen
Water	q.b. 100% p.p.
STARACID LB	0.35% p.p. of the emulsion
Hydrochloric Acid	pH soapy solution 1,5-2,5

Package

190 kg net in steel drums.

Storage

STARACID LB 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.
