Abstract
A bituminous emulsion that is capable of being used as a penetrating prime emulsion. The penetrating prime emulsion may be capable of penetrating compacted soil without the use of solvent, and may toughen quickly to allow early application of a paved layer on the surface. The bituminous emulsion may comprise bituminous material and an emulsifier comprising octylphenol ethoxylates, and optionally further comprising tallow diamine betaines or other betaines.
Claims19
A bituminous emulsion comprising:
- binding material;
- emulsifier, the emulsifier comprising octylphenol ethoxylates at a rate of 0.05% to 10% by weight of the bituminous emulsion;
- and
- a second emulsifier at a rate of 0.05% to 10% by weight of the bituminous emulsion wherein the second emulsifier comprises tallow diamine betaine.
A method of creating and using a penetrating prime emulsion, the method comprising:
- selecting a binding material;
- producing an aqueous phase, the aqueous phase comprising:
- an emulsifier, the emulsifier comprising octylphenol ethoxylates at a rate of 0.05% to 10% by weight of the penetrating prime emulsion;
- and
- a second emulsifier at a rate of 0.05% to 10% by weight of the penetrating prime emulsion wherein the second emulsifier comprises tallow diamine betaine;
- and
- emulsifying the binding material in a range of 5% to 75% binding material phase and 10% to 95% aqueous phase to produce the penetrating prime emulsion.
A method of dust control, the method comprising:
- applying a bituminous emulsion to a surface, the bituminous emulsion comprising binding material, emulsifier, and a second emulsifier, the emulsifier comprising octylphenol ethoxylates at a rate of 0.05% to 10% by weight of the bituminous emulsion and the second emulsifier at a rate of 0.05% to 10% by weight of the bituminous emulsion and where the second emulsifier comprises tallow diamine betaine.
