MAIN PROPERTIES OF BITUMEN EMULSIONS

AFTER BRIEFLY DEFINING BITUMEN EMULSIONS AND ENUMERATING THEIR PRINCIPAL PROPERTIES, THIS ARTICLE SHOWS THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE TECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF THESE EMULSIONS (ADHESIVENESS, STABILITY DURING STORAGE, BREAKING RATE AND VISCOSITY) AND THE VARIOUS PARAMETERS OF PRODUCTION. FOR INSTANCE, ADHESIVENESS AND RATE OF BREAKING DEPEND NOT ONLY ON THE NATURE OF THE BINDER AND OF THE AGGREGATE, BUT ALSO ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE GRAIN SIZE OF THE EMULSION AND THE PH OF THE AQUEOUS PHASE, PARAMETERS WHICH DEPEND ON THE CONDITIONS OF EMULSIFICATION. EXAMINATION OF THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OFTEN PROVIDES A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF THE CONDITIONS OF EMULSIFICATION ON THE TECHNICAL PROPERTIES, THEREBY MAKING IT EASIER TO REMEDY SETBACKS DUE TO FAULTY EMULSIFICATION. /LCPC/A/RRL/
