Areas of application
BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S is used for spraying on soiled, aged or milled asphalt surfaces, which are prepared for the subsequent application of asphalt mix. It serves as a bonding agent for producing composite layers in asphalt construction. BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S adheres well to all asphalt substrates.
BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S is used for load classes Bk1,0 and Bk0,3.
BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S is used for load classes Bk1,0 and Bk0,3.
Type and properties
BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S is a special cationic bitumen emulsion with high wettability. Excellent adhesion on bituminous substrates is achieved through a small portion of fluxing agent. Due to its low viscosity, the product is finely sprayable in the cold state, too.
Advantages
- easiest handling because it is ready to use
- good adhesive properties
- high wettability
- economical and cost-reducing as there is little equipment, material and labor
Surface
Make sure that the substrate is firm, not wet and free from separating agents. Standing water must be removed.
Processing
Immediate processing after delivery is recommended.
Filling, storage and substrate temperature: min. 5 °C
Processing temperature: min. 20 °C – max. 50 °C
The line systems of transport and processing vehicles must be emptied following completion of work, if applicable. Longer transportation of the emulsion must be undertaken in full tanks. In order to avoid foaming of the product, filling or re-filling must be undertaken using bottom-up filling.
Spraying equipment used for application must be cleaned immediately after use in order to avoid clogging of nozzles and pipelines with bitumen. Such cleaning must be undertaken according to the provisions of the manufacturer of the spraying equipment. Do not mix BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S with bitumen emulsions of other designations and other manufacturers.

Storage
The product can be stored for 4 weeks. Prior to use or filling, briefly recirculate the adhesive. Suitable pumps are, e.g., channel impellers. Upon direct spraying from barrels, these should be rolled beforehand. BORNIT® Asphalt Adhesive C40BF5-S is not frost-resistant!
Disposal note
Only recycle completely empty containers. Material residues can be disposed of according to AVV-ASN: 080410 (adhesive and sealing compound residues, except for those falling under 080409).
