Specification of Bitumen CMS
Bitumen CMS is typically produced by passing a hot bitumen and water mixture through a rotating disc, cone, or wheel with a stator. In this emulsification process, the hot binder separates into tiny globules, dispersing in water treated with a small quantity of emulsifying agent. The water serves as the continuous phase, while the binder globules form the discontinuous phase. Through proper selection of emulsifying agents and manufacturing controls, various types and grades of emulsified asphalts are created.Advantages of Using Bitumen CMS
- No petroleum solvent required for liquefaction.
- Minimal or no hydrocarbon emissions.
- Usable without additional heating in most cases.
- Capability to coat damp aggregates effectively.
- Applicability with cold materials in remote areas.
- Wide range of emulsion types available.
