Bitumen emulsion is a liquefied type of bitumen with a low viscosity. By dispersing bitumen in water and adding an emulsifier, ordinary bitumen turns into a low viscosity liquid that can easily be used in a variety of applications, including repairing and maintaining roads, waterproofing, spraying, etc.
Emulsions make it easy to handle, store, transport and apply bitumen at a lower temperature. Since this type of bitumen is liquid, there is no need to heat it before applying. Moreover, applying bitumen emulsions using cold techniques reduces the consumption of energy and makes road construction environmentally friendlier.
Different types of bitumen emulsion
Various emulsions are classified based on two main factors:
- particles’ electrostatic charge
- breaking or setting time
Bitumen Emulsion application
In the early 20th century, bitumen emulsions were used mainly for spray applications, but nowadays they are also used for mixing and spraying in road construction and road maintenance.
This type of bitumen is used in various methods of road construction including tack coats, chip seals, slurry seals, and micro surfacing.
Bitumen Emulsion Packaging
There are several types of packaging for bitumen emulsion, including:
- Barrel
- IBC
- Flexitank
- Reconditioned drums
meanwhile, other types of packing are not suitable for bitumen emulsion.
Bitumen emulsions regular rapid-setting (RS), Medium-setting (MS), Slow-setting (SS).
