Slurry Surfacing

FEATURES OF THE MIX TIME OF BITUMEN EMULSIONS WITH CEMENT FOR SLURRY SURFACING TECHNOLOGY

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.
