Premium 80
Premium 80 is a BBA HAPAS approved premium grade polymer modified cationic bitumen emulsion.
By using selected emulsifying agents with a suitable emulsion grade penetration bitumen it has been specifically designed for use as a hot applied surface dressing binder.
Premium 80 is suitable for use on higher stressed, heavier trafficked sites as a premium grade surface dressing binder as specified in the Design Guide for Road Surface Dressing, Road Note 39.
Please refer to the Road Surface Treatment Association’s (RSTA)/ADEPT Code of Practice for Surface Dressing Part 5 – Surface Preparation.
Premium 80 should be applied at a temperature of 85°C through a bulk binder distributor which has been tested for compliance with BS 1707 (hot binder distributors for surface dressing).
The surface dressing works should be in accordance with the recommendations contained in Design Guide for Road Surface Dressing, Road Note 39 and the RSTA’s Codes of Practice for Surface Dressing.
Due to high residual binder viscosity, optimum results are obtained with Premium 80 during the warmer months of May to August.
Refer to the Design Guide for Road Surface Dressing, Road Note 39 or contact your local Colas depot or representative for further guidance.
Supplied in bulk loads.
Premium 80 should be stored at 85°C in a purpose-built bulk storage tank or spray tanker and circulated daily.
Premium 80 is a CE Marked cationic bitumen emulsion to BS EN13808:2013 C70BPF2/3/4.
Premium 80 complies with the requirements of Road Note 39, Design Guide for Road Surface Dressing as a Premium Grade surface dressing binder.
