BITUMEN EMULSIONS - OLD TECHNOLOGY MODERN ONCE AGAIN

ASFALTEMULSIONER - GAMMAL TEKNIK MODERN IGEN

With the inauguration of a new production plant for bitumen emulsions at Nynaeshamn as a background, the author describes production methods, range of products, experiences acquired from previous usage in Sweden, fields of application and expected development. In Sweden, the main potential usages of bitumen emulsions would be: as bonding agent between new and old toppings, as binder in surface dressings and in bitumen emulsion concrete used as a paving material. The bitumen emulsion advocated is cationic in contrast to the previously used anionic emulsions that could not easily be combined with Swedish aggregates which are mainly acidiferous. Bitumen emulsions are said to be cheaper than bitumen solutions and cause less environmental problems. /TRRL/
