cationic bitumen emulsions

Formulations of road over-stabilized cationic bitumen emulsions with orthophosphoric, sulfuric and hydrochloric acids and cationic emulsifiers for slowly disintegrating emulsions have been designed. The physical and mechanical properties of the manufactured over-stabilized bitumen emulsions and their breaking behavior were determined. It has been established that over-stabilised bitumen emulsions demonstrate good storage stability for 180 days.

Pavement grade cationic bitumen emulsions formulations were developed for Slurry Surfacing based on orthophosphoric and hydrochloric acids with both all-purpose and specialized emulsifiers used. As a result, there were established relations of mix time upon cement - for Slurry Surfacing based on various acids and emulsifiers. Mix time of Slurry Surfacing mix (having different cement content) with bitumen emulsions on both orthophosphoric and hydrochloric acids is characterized by parabolic relation, branches of the parabola going down.
