What is a Asphalt emulsion?

Asphalt emulsion is a material devised so that asphalt can be applied at room temperature. Asphalt has low fluidity at room temperature, so when used for road pavement, etc. It is necessary to increase the fluidity by heating at a high temperature of several hundred degrees or mixing with an organic solvent. On the other hand, asphalt emulsion is easy to handle because it can be applied at room temperature without heating. It is energy-saving and has advantages such as reduction of CO2 emissions. In addition, since it is not necessary to mix an organic solvent, it is possible to reduce the generation of offensive odors during construction and the burden on the environment due to the volatilization of the organic solvent.
