Emulsion bitumen is a mix of bitumen and water with an emulsifying agent, allowing it to be used at ambient temperatures.

 

- Types:

  - Rapid Setting (RS): Sets quickly, used for surface dressing and tack coats.

  - Medium Setting (MS): Used for mixing with aggregates in cold mix applications.

  - Slow Setting (SS): Used in soil stabilization and patching work.

- Benefits: Emulsion bitumen is eco-friendly and energy-efficient, as it can be applied without heating. It’s ideal for applications where environmental conditions or safety concerns make hot bitumen impractical.
