Building Better Roads: Types of Bitumen Emulsion and Manufacturing Methods
Bitumen emulsion is a cold-applied liquid mixture of bitumen, water, and an emulsifying agent. These emulsions allow road builders to work at ambient temperatures, making paving safer and more efficient. In fact, bitumen emulsions are literally bitumen liquified in water by surfactants, enabling lower application viscosity and reduced heating needs. Understanding the types of bitumen…
