asphalt emulsion

Asphalt emulsions are used in a wide variety of applications.

In modern times, all but the most meticulous preservationists use asphalt emulsion for the same purpose.

Sometimes adobe is stabilized with a small amount of cement or asphalt emulsion to provide better weatherproofing.

Common binding agents include asphalt emulsion, fly ash, Portland cement or calcium chloride.

Products of the refinery, in addition to asphalt, include naphtha, asphalt emulsion, and gas oil.

This pulvarized material is mixed with asphalt emulsion and spread and compacted back onto the highway surface.

Earthen plasters are not approved by all local building codes, as some require the use of cement stabilizers or asphalt emulsion.

Asphalt emulsions contain up to 70% asphalt/bitumen and typically less than 1.5% chemical additives.

It generally consists of aggregate spread over a sprayed-on asphalt emulsion or cut-back asphalt cement.

Because of concerns with pollution from the volatile organic compounds in the lighter fraction, cut-back asphalt has been largely replaced by asphalt emulsion.

Chipseal involves spraying the road surface with asphalt emulsion followed by a layer of crushed rock, gravel or crushed slag.

Slurry seal involves the creation of a mixture of asphalt emulsion and fine crushed aggregate that is spread on the surface of a road.

Newer techniques use asphalt emulsion (a mixture of liquid asphalt, surfactant, and water) instead of asphalt.

Cold in-place recycling mills off the top layers of asphalt concrete and mixes the resulting loose millings with asphalt emulsion.

A tack coat is a low viscosity asphalt emulsion that is used to create a bond between an existing pavement surface and new asphalt overlay.

Historically, such additives as lime or animal blood were used to stabilize the material, whilst modern construction uses lime, cement or asphalt emulsions.

Tipco manufactures cationic asphalt emulsion, cutback asphalt and polymer modified asphalt cement.

Non-woven glass fiber/polymer blend mats are used saturated with asphalt emulsion and overlayes with asphalt, producing a waterproof, crack-resistant membrane.

The asphalt millings are blended with a small amount of asphalt emulsion, paved and compacted, allowed to cure for seven to ten days, then overlaid with asphalt.

Warm mix asphalt concrete (commonly abbreviated as WMA) is produced by adding either zeolites, waxes, asphalt emulsions, or sometimes even water to the asphalt binder prior to mixing.

With asphalt pavements and surface treatments, using too much asphalt or asphalt emulsion can cause flushing, a condition where excess asphalt rises to the top and fills in the road texture.

On top of the pulverized material, water is added to reach the optimal moisture content for compaction and then a variety of materials, such as dry cement, lime, fly ash, or asphalt emulsion are incorporated for stabilization.

Cold-mixed asphalt can also be made from asphalt emulsion to create pavements similar to hot-mixed asphalt, several inches in depth and asphalt emulsions are also blended into recycled hot-mix asphalt to create low-cost pavements.
