Overview
Bitumen emulsion is bitumen dispersed in water with an emulsifying agent, allowing it to be handled and applied in a liquid form for suitable road works. It is commonly used for surface preparation, bonding and maintenance applications selected by the project specification. Jay Ambe supplies RS-1, MS1 and SS1 emulsion types. The selected type should match the intended application, aggregate condition and approved work method.
