Bitumen Emulsion

Bitumen emulsions are usually two-phase systems consisting of two immiscible liquids, bitumen and water. The bitumen phase can be dispersed in the aqueous phase by mechanically shearing it in a colloid mill. The dispersion of bitumen particles is held in suspension in water by a chemical emulsifier which usually imparts an electrical charge so that the resulting electrostatic forces prevent the globules from readily coalescing. That is, like charges on each dispersed bitumen particle repel and prevent the particles from coalescing and settling from the suspension.

Emulsions can be used for almost any purpose for which conventional bitumens, polymer modified binders and cutback bitumens are used, and are suited to a number of other applications where the use of cutbacks is not appropriate.

Use For Application use of Crack Seal, Fog Seal, Seal Coating, Mixed Aggregate for Road Construction, making roofing Products for household & industrial application From Emulsion to Paints to Sound proofing. etc.
