Cold Emulsion Mixes
Cold emulsion mixes are basic aggregate-asphalt emulsion mixes that are classified as a function of their use, composition and storability. Mix designs are required for cold emulsion mixes to determine the grade and percent of emulsion used, as well as the physical properties of workability, stability, strength and moisture susceptibility. Mixes are tailor set for use and climate.
Various economical methods can be used to produce and place cold emulsion mixes. Advances in asphalt emulsion technology make it possible for emulsion mixes to be used in a wide variety of pavement construction, reclamation and maintenance applications.
