 BITUMEN EMULSION
A liquid product in which a
substantial amount of bitumen is
suspended in a finely divided form
of the size 4-10 microns in water in
presence of emulsifiers

TYPES OF EMULSIFIER
Anionic Emulsifier
RCOOH + NaOH = RCOO - + Na + + H2O

Where,
A = Percent aggregate retained on 2.8 mm sieve
B = Percent aggregate retained on 90 micron sieve
C = Percent aggregate passing on 90 micron sieve

Prepare cold mix with varying water contents
( 2,3,4,5 %) and visually examined for coating value

There is chemical interaction

between emulsion / aggregate

The Cationic Emulsion is

positively charged
Surface of Siliceous
aggregates is having
Negative Charge
The strong bond formed
between emulsion-Aggregate
Emulsion contain Anti -
stripping agent which reduces
water damages
 Benefits of Emulsions Based Cold Mixes
Environment Friendly and Energy Efficient
Construction feasible in rains/wet and cold
weather
Extends construction period During a year
Fast Production of Cold Mix
4-5 times Faster Construction by Cold Mix
15-20 % Cheaper Roads
Contain in built ant-stripping agent
Prevent oxidative hardening
Consume targeted Budget in time
Labour Intensive - Creates Jobs for Villagers
