Services Provided - Bitumen Emulsion Types

Cationic Bitumen Emulsion

Our primary product is cationic bitumen emulsion, which is a two-phase system comprising bitumen, water, and one or more emulsifiers. This product is essential in road construction and maintenance, where it acts as a binder, providing strong adhesion between the road layers. The cationic nature of our emulsion ensures that it is compatible with a wide range of aggregates, making it suitable for various construction conditions.

Anionic and Non-Ionic Emulsions

While our focus remains on cationic emulsions, we also have the capability to produce anionic and non-ionic emulsions as per specific customer requirements. These emulsions are used in specialized applications where their unique properties provide added benefits.

Quick and Slow-Set Applications

Our Esha Bitumen Emulsion is formulated to suit both quick-set and slow-set applications, providing flexibility in road construction projects. Quick-set emulsions are ideal for tasks that require rapid curing, such as surface dressing, while slow-set emulsions are used in projects where a longer working time is beneficial, such as in cold mix asphalt.

Seasonal Suitability

The Esha emulsifiers are designed to perform consistently across different seasonal conditions. Whether it's the intense heat of summer or the cooler winter months, our emulsions maintain their performance, ensuring durability and longevity in road surfaces.

Manufacturing Process

Controlled Emulsification

The production of our bitumen emulsions involves a meticulously controlled process where the hot binder is mechanically separated into minute globules and dispersed in water treated with an emulsifying agent. This process, known as emulsification, is critical to achieving a stable product with the desired properties, such as controlled breaking time and strong adhesion.

Quality Additives

The use of high-quality emulsifiers, such as our proprietary ESHA emulsifiers, enhances the stability and performance of our bitumen emulsions. These surface-active agents play a crucial role in maintaining the suspension of bitumen droplets, controlling the setting time, and ensuring optimal adhesion to aggregates.
