What Are the Differences Between Bitumen Emulsion and Cutback Bitumen?
Cutback bitumen and bitumen emulsion are both in the category of liquid bitumen, but they have many differences. The main difference between cutback bitumen and bitumen emulsion is the type of material used to make them. In bitumen emulsion, water and emulsifiers are used. On the other hand, solvents obtained from the distillation tower are used...

Cutback Bitumen
Different Types of Cutback Bitumen and Their Grades
Cutback bitumen is a liquid bitumen obtained by dissolving penetration bitumen in a solvent. The solvents are obtained from the oil distillation process in refineries.  Depending on the drying time or, in other words, the rate of solvent evaporation, cutback bitumen can be classified into three types: Slow-Curing (SC) Rapid-Curing (RC)  Medium-Curing (MC)  Note: The...

Bitumen Emulsion
Bitumen Emulsion Production Process
Bitumen emulsion is a liquid mixture that contains bitumen, water, an emulsifier and some additives.  Mixing bitumen and water occurs through a particular mill called a colloidal mill. It breaks the bitumen into fine droplets.  As a result, it makes it easier for the emulsifier molecules to reach the bitumen droplets to suspend and disperse them in...

Bitumen Emulsion
Bitumen Emulsion CSS-1h
Bitumen emulsion CSS-1h is a mixture of bitumen droplets in the water phase with the help of a cationic emulsifier dissolved in water. It is a slow setting, as a result, it takes time for CSS-1h to dry after it is applied to a surface. There is nearly 60% bitumen in CSS-1h with a high penetration value and the...

Bitumen Emulsion
Storage and Handling of Bitumen Emulsion
Bitumen emulsion consists of fine bitumen droplets that are dispersed and suspended in the aqueous phase. These small droplets may join together and form clots. In this condition, it is said that the emulsion loses its stability and as a result, its properties change.  Maintaining bitumen emulsion stability and therefore its properties can be subjected...
