BITUMINOUS EMULSIONS (RAPID SETTING, MEDIUM SETTING & SLOW SETTING)
[CODE NO. 3127]


Bitumen  is  the general them applied to  any  block,  tarry substance  occuring in nature or produced by heat

from  petroleum coal,  natural gas or certain other organic substances. the term `asphalt' refers specifically

to the black, solid or semi  solid bitumens  obtained  from  petroleum. Asphalts  occur  as  natural deposits

or are obtained as a residue in the distillation of crude petroleum. This asphaltic residue is called pitch.

Natural deposits of asphalt were first used by ancient civilizations the waterproofing,  preservation  and   

cementing properties  of  asphalt  were well known,  and   asphalt  was  an important article of commerce in

the earliest known  civilization that  developed in Mesopotania, Egypt and the Indus  valley with the  passing

 of these early civilizations, the  use  of  asphalt tended  to diminsh. However often 1900, due to the

discovery of large amounts of asphalt-base crude petroleum asphalt was obtained as a by-product of petroleum

refining.

Most  bituminous binders used in the construction  of  roads are  viscous  semi  solids at normal  

temperatures.  For  surface dressing,  therefore,  they must be brought to a fluid  state by heating  before  

being applied in this films to  road   surfaces. Similarly, in the preparation of coated macadam, both the  

binder and  the aggregate require heating to enable good coating of  the stone  to take place. The lack of

adequate heating facilities in remote  areas  led to a demand for binders which  could  be  used cold. When,

for this purpose, volatile solvents were added to the binder,  apart  from their high cost, such binders  

suffered  the disadvantage  that they had to be applied only to  dry  surfaces. The  introduction of emulsions

over came this difficulty as these not only flow readily at atmospheric temperatures but can also be applied  

to  damp  road  surfaces  and  used  for  coating   damp aggregate.  Road  emulsions are particularly,  

suitable  for  the preparation of coated macadam in small batches, no preheating of the aggregate being

required.
