Bitumen emulsion is obtained by mixing bitumen and water with the help of an emulsifier. Bitumen in this type of mixture is not dissolved in water, but floats in water in the form of globules or spheres with a diameter of one hundredth to one thousandth of a millimeter. Using an emulsifying agent, which is usually an alkaline salt of an organic acid, or an ammonium salt, or an amine salt, causes the surface of the bitumen grains to become charged and a repulsive force between them to prevent them from joining together and as a result coagulation of bitumen.

Emulsion bitumen is a type of liquid bitumen obtained by mixing bitumen particles in water and using a substance called emulsifier. This emulsifier plays an important role in keeping bitumen particles suspended in water and prevents them from separating.

Some of the features and advantages of emulsion bitumen are:

• High adhesion: This type of bitumen is suitable for use in asphalt and insulation because of its high adhesion.
• Use at ambient temperature Emulsion bitumen can be used at ambient temperature, which reduces energy consumption.
• Easy to transport Emulsion bitumen is easier to transport due to its liquid nature.
• Compatibility with the environment: due to the different amounts of water, this type of bitumen has a lower risk of ignition, and its level of pollution is lower than petroleum bitumen.

Some uses of this product:

1. Road construction and asphalt construction: for sealing and layering in road construction and asphalt restoration projects.
2. Protective coatings: used as a protective layer to prevent water and moisture penetration in buildings and bridges.
3. Use in cold regions: It is ideal for cold regions and winter projects due to its low temperature performance.

Due to its many advantages, emulsion bitumen is a smart choice for modern and environmentally friendly projects. By using this product, in addition to increasing the quality of projects, you will also help reduce costs and preserve the environment.
