Emulsion
Consisting of bitumen droplets dispersed in water, emulsion bitumen is versatile and easy to handle. It is commonly used in chip seal, slurry seal, and micro-surfacing applications, providing excellent adhesion and durability.
- Anionic Emulsion Bitumen: Commonly used in chip seal, slurry seal, and micro-surfacing applications, offering good adhesion and durability.
- Cationic Emulsion Bitumen: Suitable for cold mix asphalt, patching, and surface treatments, providing excellent compatibility with aggregates and improved mixing properties.
Application
- Surface Treatments: Emulsion grade bitumen is commonly used for surface treatments such as chip seals and slurry seals to rejuvenate and protect existing asphalt pavements.
- Tack Coating: It serves as a tack coat for promoting adhesion between pavement layers during construction and repair projects.
- Patching and Repair: Emulsion grade bitumen is applied for patching and repairing potholes, cracks, and other pavement distresses, providing a durable and cost-effective solution.
- Soil Stabilization: It is used for soil stabilization in road construction projects to improve the strength and durability of subgrade and base materials.
- Dust Control: Emulsion grade bitumen is applied for dust control on unpaved roads, parking lots, and construction sites to minimize dust emissions and improve road safety.
- Seal Coating: It is used for seal coating applications to protect and extend the service life of asphalt pavements, providing resistance against water, UV rays, and automotive fluids.
