Properties & Benefits
Emulsion bitumen is produced through a controlled process that involves dispersing heated bitumen into fine droplets suspended in an aqueous phase stabilized by emulsifiers.
Following are the properties of emulsion bitumen:
Low Viscosity
Unlike hot bitumen, emulsions have low viscosity at ambient temperatures. It allows applications without heating and thus reduces energy consumption and hazards.
Stability
Emulsions must be stable during storage and transport but separate quickly upon application to bind aggregates effectively.
Breaking Mechanism
When applied to aggregates, the emulsion breaks, leaving a bitumen binder coating on the particles. This process depends on the surfactant type, aggregate surface properties, temperature, and pH.
Environment and Storage
Cold applications reduce energy use and emissions, lowers fire risk, and facilitate easier handling and storage.
Applications
Bitumen emulsion is a water-based dispersion of bitumen stabilized by emulsifiers, enabling easier, safer, and more environmentally friendly applications in road construction and maintenance compared to traditional hot bitumen. Its formulation and properties are tailored for specific uses depending on aggregate type and application method. Following are the applications of emulsion:
Road surface treatments like chip sealing and tack coats
Cold mix asphalt
Road maintenance and repair
Waterproofing
