What is a Asphalt emulsion?

Asphalt emulsion is a product made by dispersing asphalt into fine particles within water, stabilized in an emulsion state. It is primarily used in road construction and paving tasks, offering simplicity in application and reducing environmental impact. Asphalt emulsion comprises three main components: asphalt, emulsifying agents, and water. Since it allows for cold application, it is more energy-efficient than traditional hot asphalt and contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Asphalt emulsions are typically classified into three types: cationic, anionic, and nonionic, selected based on application and site conditions. They are known for their excellent adhesion, durability, and flexibility, making them suitable for base treatments, surface treatments, repair tasks, and enhancing water resistance.

Application of Asphalt emulsion

✅Adhesive for Road Paving
Used to bond a new asphalt layer to the existing surface, improving the connection between layers and enhancing durability.
✅Chip Sealing
Involves spraying emulsion on the road surface and spreading aggregate on top. This method improves traction and extends the road surface's lifespan.
✅Crack Repairs
Emulsion is injected into road cracks and covered with sand or small stones to prevent water ingress and slow down surface deterioration.
✅Waterproof Layer Applications
Applied as a waterproof layer for bridges and parking lots, preventing water intrusion and extending the structural lifespan.
