CATIONIC BITUMEN EMULSIONS USED IN ROADS

THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES THE USE OF SPRAYED ON CATIONIC BITUMEN EMULSIONS FOR SURFACE DRESSINGS AND FOR THE REPAIR OF BLACK-TOP SURFACINGS. THE CATIONIC EMULSIONS BREAK ON ACID ROCKS AND ON BASIC VOLCANIC ROCK (BASALT AND DIORITE); ONLY ON BASIC SEDIMENTARY ROCK (LIME AND DOLOMITE) IS GOOD ADHESION BETWEEN THE BROKEN BINDER AND THE SURFACE OF THE ROCK NOT ACHIEVED. METHODS OF MANUFACTURING AND LAYING THE EMULSION ARE DESCRIBED. EMULSIONS WHICH CONTAIN LATEX ARE ALSO DISCUSSED, TOGETHER WITH THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ANIONIC, CATIONIC AND LATEX SLURRIES. /TRRL/
