BITUMEN EMULSION:
Bitumen emulsions are a dispersion of very fine bitumen particles in an aqueous medium. These liquid products are functional in use and are widely popular in road construction and maintenance. Cationic bitumen emulsions have become more popular today because of their superior qualities over traditional bitumen.
Bitumen emulsions are produced as per Nepal Standard (NS) 207-2046 conforming to IS 8887-78, BS 434-1984 and ASTMD 244-83 by processing prime quality VG10 bitumen, water and high-quality emulsifiers under controlled production parameters such as pH, temperature, etc. The hi-tech colloid mill with its superfine milling efficiency provides fine and narrow particle distribution which gives the emulsion an increased storage stability and higher viscosity. The quality of the emulsion is controlled at every step of production and is tested in the laboratory for consistency.
ADVANTAGES OF EMULSION:
· Require no heating, is ready to use.
· Environment friendly.
· Energy saving.
· Cost effective.
· Workable with cold and damp aggregates.
· Safe and easy handling.
· Better and durable pavement
· Less wastage saves money.
