Petra Oil’s HFRS-2 is a high float, rapid-setting anionic bitumen emulsion formulated for surface treatments where superior film strength, durability, and fast setting time are required. The name HFRS-2 stands for High Float Rapid Setting – Grade 2, and this emulsion is tailored for high-performance road surfacing in regions with demanding weather and traffic conditions.

The high float characteristic of HFRS-2 enables it to maintain a protective coating that resists cracking and washing away, even in extreme heat or heavy rains. Its rapid setting formulation ensures that the emulsion breaks quickly after application, allowing for quicker traffic flow and minimizing downtime. This makes it ideal for chip sealing, prime coats, and maintenance treatments on both paved and unpaved roads.

HFRS-2 performs exceptionally well with dusty or aged aggregates and is widely used in rural road networks, low-volume traffic areas, and cost-sensitive road maintenance projects.

Key Specifications:

• Type: Anionic Bitumen Emulsion (HFRS-2)
• Setting Time: Rapid Setting
