Bitumen Emulsion and its Applications
by Gril Emultion Bitumen Emulsion ManufacturersBitumen emulsion is one of the main
components used for construction and maintenance of roads by road making
industries. It is also known as adhesive or binding asset for road
construction. They are made by dispersing bitumen in watery substance continuously
and are further stabilized by adding emulsifier in it. Bitumen Emulsion manufacturers in India prepare it at very high
temperature, however, the solid form of dispersions are applied at normal
temperature. During the process of road construction, bitumen emulsions are
applied with an aggregate of mineral. The reaction which happens between
mineral and bitumen helps bitumen to become a binding agent in road
construction process, and mineral aggregate acts as strength giving agent to
roads. It is really very crucial to understand the complexity of road
construction process.
Bitumen emulsion suppliers in India, always suggest blending bitumen with petroleum
solvents so as to transform it into workable condition, as it becomes difficult
to work with bitumen while working at ambient temperature. The reason for the
same is it viscous material that makes it thick and sticky. Emulsified bitumen
acts as a key ingredient for maintenance and construction of roads as it offers
versatility and numerous benefits.
Bitumen emulsion suppliers in India provides different grades of the same. Different
grades are used for different purposes according to requirement. These
different qualities are:
Slow Setting 1:
Bitumen emulsion suppliers in India
recommend it for prime coat application, road mixes, and slurry seal.
Slow Setting 2:
Bitumen emulsion suppliers in India
recommend it for crack and fog sealing and also for the prime coat.
Medium Setting:
Bitumen emulsion providers in India
recommend using it for repair work.
Rapid Setting 1:
Bitumen emulsion suppliers in India
recommend it to utilize it for surface dressing and grouting.
Rapid Setting 2:
The last grade i.e. rapid setting is mainly recommended for tack coat
applications.
Using bitumen emulsion grade
according to the type of work ensures good quality of work and as far as road
construction and maintenance is concerned, companies must ensure to utilize
good material only as roads play the crucial role in road safety.
Apart from road construction, areas, where bitumen emulsion is being used, are Highways, Airport runways Footways / Pedestrian Ways, Car parks, Racetracks, Tennis courts, Roofing, Damp proofing, Dams, Reservoir and pool linings, Soundproofing, Pipe coatings, Cable Coatings, Paints, Building Waterproofing, Tile underlying waterproofing, Newspaper Ink Production etc.
