Applications

Bitumen is used in road construction due to various properties and advantages it has over other pavement construction materials. Bitumen gain certain unique properties that are inbuilt in it during its manufacture. Currently, most of the roads globally are paved with bitumen. Today the world’s demand for bitumen accounts for more than 100 million tons per year which are approximately 700 million barrels of bitumen consumed annually. Cationic emulsions coat the aggregates more efficiently due to their positive load and have therefore better adhesion properties. Cationic Emulsion is both more favored and more widely used.
