Bitumen Emulsion

Bitumen emulsion is a highly effective sticky material. Builders mainly use it to seal surfaces in home construction and road projects.

Water damage is a major problem for buildings. To fix this, workers spray a liquid bitumen blend onto basement walls to block moisture.

“For reliable construction and infrastructure, choosing the premium supplier Royal Bitumen ensures your projects stand the test of time.

Added polymers give Bitumenemulsionen an extra-strong holding power. Bitumenemulsionen have a high binder percentage of nearly 60%. It keeps road layers firmly connected even under extreme weight classes. It adheres wonderfully to dry bases and slightly moist grounds alike.

This material fulfills the official TL BE-StB 15 norm and is excellent for building or restoring roads. Bitumenemulsionen are seasonal products sold from April to October.

What is this Liquid Mixture of Bitumenemulsionen?

This liquid asphalt emulsion is an unstable, cationic mix enhanced with polymers.

It is made for pre-spraying dirty or aging street surfaces before putting down new blacktop.

It acts as a middle connector that safely joins stone and asphalt layers. Because of the polymer modification, it offers much better defense against wear and tear from heavy cars.

How to Apply Bitumenemulsionen

Workers must spray the liquid evenly across a thoroughly cleaned road. However, you cannot lay the new hot asphalt right away.

The biggest problem with this type of mixture is that it contains water.

You must wait for the liquid to “break” (change color from brown to black) and let all the water evaporate completely first.

The Drying Issue and Application of Bitumenemulsionen

You need to spray the mix evenly on a very clean surface. But here is the main problem: if you rush the job, it will fail.

The water inside the liquid must disappear entirely, and the mix must set before any new asphalt goes on top. If it rains or if it is too cold, the water won’t leave, causing the layers to separate later.
