What is a emulsion? Asphalt
Composed of crystalline particles generally classified as “asphaltenes”
Asphaltenes are suspended in an oily liquid continuous phase generally classified as “maltenes”
The balance of composition determines asphalt physical properties such as rheology

What is a emulsion? Why emulsify asphalt?
Viscosity reduction and safer use at lower temperatures
Change from “oil based” to “water based” system
Reduced energy use, worker exposure, burn hazard and job site odor
Properly formulated emulsion systems provide long term performance benefits

What is a emulsion? Average 3-7 microns diameter Asphalt is usually 57-70% of the emulsion 1 gram of asphalt will form more than 10
billion particles The total surface area of 1 gram of asphalt
is 1-2 m2
One drop of emulsifier would stabilize as much as 100 billion particles or 10-20 m2 of asphalt particle surface area

the anionic classification)

Emulsion Classifications Each classification is based on the
electrical charge on the asphalt particles’ surface
The particle charge is determined by the emulsifier and the water pH

![Page 18: Benton County Preservation Round Table February 16 th 2016](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062504/5a4d1b8e7f8b9ab0599c0549/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Emulsion Classifications Cationic
Definition - having a positive electrical charge The emulsifier has a positive charge Since the emulsifier coats the asphalt particle
surface, all of the particles have a positive charge

Emulsion Classifications Anionic
Definition - having a negative electrical charge The emulsifier has a negative charge Therefore, all of the asphalt particles have a
negative charge

Emulsion Classifications Nonionic
Definition - having no electrical charge The emulsifier has very little or no charge The asphalt particles also have little or no
charge Particles are protected by a viscous layer
formed by the emulsifier

Emulsion Classifications Common Cationic Classifications CRS, CMS, CQS, and CSS Each classification will have a suffix such
as “-1” or “-2” (emulsion viscosity) and/or an “h” (asphalt base hardness)
Examples: CRS-2, CQS-1h, CSS-1 Other designations: P=polymer (solid or
latex) LM=latex polymer, s=solvent, many others…

Emulsion Classifications Common Anionic Classifications RS, HFRS, MS, HFMS, QS, and SS Each classification will have a suffix such
as “-1” or “-2” (emulsion viscosity) and/or an “h” (asphalt base hardness)
Examples: HFRS-2, SS-1h Other designations: P=polymer (solid or

Emulsion Classifications Why do we have different classifications?
Producing an emulsion that is stable for storage or handling is easy…
…but emulsions must be designed to break at exactly the right time in the construction process and perform well over the long-run

Emulsifier “Application” usually refers to spraying
the emulsion onto surfaces or mixing them with aggregates
To understand emulsion performance, we need to know more about aggregate or other surfaces

interact with the stone’s charges “Opposites attract” – longer life Silicates and slag – generally “–” Limestones – generally 0 or “+”
