Product range
Which emulsion grades are available in the ABC Islands?
The grades available are conventional CRS and CSS types, polymer-modified versions, and Pro-Road’s own sealant lines. Each product is described in full on our bitumen emulsions page. Setting speed decides the use. Rapid grades break on contact and suit spray work. Slow grades stay workable for mixing.

|---|---|---|
| CRS-1 | Conventional cationic, rapid setting | Chip seal and tack coat |
| CRS-2 | Conventional cationic, rapid setting | Chip seal where higher viscosity is needed |
| CSS-1 | Conventional cationic, slow setting | Slurry seal, fog seal, and priming |
| CSS-1h | Conventional cationic, slow setting | Tack coat and slurry with hard base asphalt |
| CQS-1h | Conventional cationic, quick setting | Slurry seal where traffic must return quickly |
| CRS-1m, CRS-2m, CSS-1hm | Polymer-modified cationic | Heavy traffic and demanding wearing courses |
| PRIM-18 | Modified liquid sealant | Chip seal (TSD) wearing surfaces |
| PRIS-74 | Conventional liquid sealant | Chip seal (TSD) wearing surfaces |
| PRP-98 | Primer | Adhesion coat before the first chip seal layer |
| PRSS-94 | Slow-setting slurry emulsion | Slurry seal, supplied with mix design support |

Road work falls under the Department of Public Works Aruba (DOW), under Aruba’s infrastructure ministry. In August 2024, the government committed 17 million Aruban florins to road paving and maintenance island-wide. Aruba’s dry season runs from February to August, and these conditions favor emulsion curing.

Road work falls under Openbaar Lichaam Bonaire (OLB), the island’s public entity, through its Department of Civil Works. OLB is repaving neighborhood streets with new asphalt layers and paved verges, aiming for good condition island-wide within five years.
Applications
Which emulsion grades fit road work in the ABC Islands?
The best fits are CRS grades for chip seal and tack coats, and CSS grades for slurry work. Polymer-modified grades cover heavy-traffic roads.
Resurfacing and patching work needs a tack coat between layers. CRS-1 or CSS-1h covers that step. Surface treatments and slurry seals extend road life between repaves.
Our chip seal guide explains the full double surface treatment method. Emulsions also suit maintenance work in warm, dry climates. They apply cold and need no hot-mix plant on site.
