Emulsified asphalt is an asphalt emulsion in which solid asphalt is combined with water through the action of surfactants and machinery to form a liquid at room temperature and can be used directly without heating. Compared with asphalt, emulsified asphalt is energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and easy to use.
In recent years, emulsified asphalt has been used in many industries. Specifically: bridges and culverts, road construction and maintenance, house construction, soil improvement, desert sand fixation, slope stabilization, metal anti-corrosion, railway track beds, etc.
The main function of emulsified asphalt in bridge culverts is waterproofing. There are two methods of use: spraying and brushing, which you can choose according to the specific situation.
In road construction and maintenance. In new pavements, emulsified asphalt is used in the permeable layer, adhesive layer, slurry seal and simultaneous gravel seal waterproof layer. In terms of preventive maintenance, emulsified asphalt is used in slurry seals, micro surfacing, fine surfacing, cape seals, etc. The specific construction method is to use special construction equipment.
In terms of building waterproofing, spraying and painting are also the main methods.
