Bitumen Emulsion Manufacturing Process

Bitumen emulsion is mainly composed of the following five main materials: bitumen, water, emulsifier, acid, and modifier. In order to store stability or to satisfy other special uses, a small amount of additives will be added. Metong is the best bitumen emulsion plant manufacturers. Here we provide the professional bitumen emulsion solution.

The manufacturing process of bitumen emulsion can be divided into the following four processes: bitumen preparation, soap preparation, bitumen emulsion, and emulsion storage.

1. Bitumen Preparation
Bitumen is the major component of emulsified bitumen, which account for 50% to 65% of the total mass of emulsified bitumen in general. After spraying or mixing the emulsified bitumen, it is going to demulsify. Then the moisture is evaporated. And what remains on the road surface is the bitumen. Therefore, the preparation of bitumen is critical.

Choosing suitable brand and label of bitumen according to the use of emulsified bitumen. The preparation process of bitumen is mainly the process of heating and keeping the bitumen at the appropriate temperature.

During the process of bitumen preparation, the temperature control is very important. If the temperature of bitumen is too low, which will cause the bitumen to be sticky and the flow to be difficult. Thus it will also cause the emulsification to be difficult. If the temperature is too high, on the one hand, it will cause the bitumen aging. On the other hand, the temperature of the emulsified bitumen will be too high, which will affect the stability of the emulsifier and the quality of the emulsified bitumen.
