Asphalt emulsion is a mixture of asphalt, water, and an emulsifying agent. This combination allows the asphalt to remain in a liquid state, making it easier to apply for various construction and maintenance projects. It is commonly used in road construction, sealcoating, and surface treatments. The primary benefit of asphalt emulsion is its ability to bond well with aggregates, providing a strong and durable surface. Additionally, it is environmentally friendly, as it reduces the need for solvents and can be applied at lower temperatures, minimizing energy consumption during application.
