Thickener By Petrochem Specialities & Bitumen Pvt. Ltd.

Our company has achieved milestone in exporting, manufacturing and supplying of Thickener in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India. These are natural or synthetic substances which are used to increase the viscosity of a liquid system. A thickener can be liquid or a solid depending on the source of raw material and intended applications.

To increase the viscosity of bitumen emulsions, mostly the residual bitumen is increased which in turn increases the cost to a very high level. Few emulsifiers claim to increase the viscosity and storage stability of Cationic Bitumen Emulsion but a fine balance of dose is required as low dose does not increase viscosity and a slight higher dose develops lumps in final emulsion causing it to fail in sieve test. Also prolonged storage of Bitumen Emulsion in open under hot and cold conditions cause the Bitumen Emulsions to cream (separation of water and formation of hard bitumen layer) and site dilution of Bitumen Emulsions by road contractors causes the breaking of emulsions which are serious issues for emulsion manufacturers.
