Use of bio-binder emulsion for road industry

A translucent bio-binder, composed of biomass products, has now been in use for more than 2 years. This binder could replace the bitumen classically employed in various road engineering. Its development was until now exclusively based on a hot use in anhydrous form, mainly for the realization of aesthetic and decorative coatings. In order reduce its environmental impacts (reduction of consumption of the energy resources or greenhouse gas emissions), work was undertaken to develop aqueous emulsions based on this binder. The aim was, as for the bituminous emulsions, to obtain stable products with storage and transport, having a viscosity and a break index adapted to their use. The undertaken studies confirm the emulsifiability of this binder. Trials at various construction sites in France were used to validate various means of manufacture of this cold bituminous mix.
