Cationic bitumen emulsions · CRS, CSS and CMS grades
Cationic bitumen emulsions: spray, stable and premix grades
Igugu Industries supplies cationic bitumen emulsions in three grade families: spray grades CRS 60, CRS 65 and CRS 70 for chip seals and reseals, the stable grade CSS 60 for slurry and stabilisation, and the premix grades CMS 60 and CMS 65 for cold premix. All are supplied to the relevant SANS 4001 specification (SANS 4001-BT4 covers cationic road emulsions) and to your project specification, in 200 L drums or bulk depending on the grade, delivered to all nine provinces.
Cationic spray grade bitumen emulsion (CRS 60, CRS 65, CRS 70)
A rapid-setting cationic bitumen emulsion for spray seals, with 60, 65 or 70% binder. Cationic emulsions are preferred for sprayed seals because they adhere well to most South African aggregates; CRS 65 and CRS 70 carry more binder to reduce run-off.

Cationic stable grade bitumen emulsion (CSS 60)
A 60% cationic slow-set (stable grade) bitumen emulsion for machine-mixed slurry and for stabilisation. It suits machine mixing, breaks chemically and has a lower water requirement. Test its breaking rate with the job’s aggregate, filler and water before work starts.

- By slurry machine or recycler
- Supplied as
- 200 L drums or bulk; 1,000 L flowbins on request
- Technical support
- Product selection and application guidance
- Documents
- Data sheet and safety data sheet on request
Where it is used
- Machine-mixed slurry.
- Bitumen stabilising agent for bitumen-stabilised material (BSM), where the BOQ asks for a 60% cationic emulsion.
- Stabilising aggregates that do not suit an anionic emulsion, such as acidic aggregates.
- BOQ lines that ask for “stable grade 60% emulsion (cationic)”.
Also written as: CSS 60, cationic stable grade, stable grade 60% emulsion (cationic), 60% cationic emulsion, cationic slow-set emulsion, cationic emulsion for stabilisation, SANS 4001-BT4.
To quote, send us
- What it is for: slurry or stabilisation.
- Litres, and the pack: 200 L drums, 1,000 L flowbins or bulk.
- For stabilisation: the layer volume, the emulsion percentage from the mix design, and the parent rock or aggregate type.
Cationic premix grade bitumen emulsion (CMS 60, CMS 65)
A medium-setting cationic bitumen emulsion for making cold premix and patching mixes without heating. It is mixed cold with suitable aggregate, in a mixer or on site, and works best with aggregate that has little fine material.
- Grades
- CMS 60 and CMS 65
- Specification
- The relevant SANS 4001 specification (SANS 4001-BT4 covers cationic road emulsions), and your project specification
- Setting
- Medium set
- Supplied as
- 200 L drums or bulk; 1,000 L flowbins on request
- Technical support
- Product selection and application guidance
- Documents
- Data sheet and safety data sheet on request
Where it is used
- Cold premix made without heating.
- Patching mixes, mixed cold in a mixer or on site.
- RFQs for “KMS60 cold mix bitumen” in 200 L drums.
Also written as: CMS 60, CMS 65, KMS60, premix grade emulsion, cationic medium set, KMS60 cold mix bitumen, cold mix bitumen 200 L drum, premix emulsion.
To quote, send us
- The grade: CMS 60 or CMS 65.
- Litres, or the number of 200 L drums, 1,000 L flowbins or bulk loads.
- The aggregate you will mix it with, if you want advice.
Would you rather not mix your own? Cold mix asphalt comes ready to use in 25 kg bags or bulk.

How cationic emulsions are supplied
- CRS 60, CRS 65, CSS 60, CMS 60 and CMS 65: 200 L drums or bulk, with 1,000 L flowbins on request.
- CRS 70: bulk.
- Store at ambient temperature and protect from freezing.
- Never mix a cationic emulsion with an anionic one such as SS60: flush tanks between them when you change from one type to the other.
