What are the characteristics of cationic bitumen emulsion?

Cationic bitumen emulsions contain positively charged bitumen droplets stabilized by cationic emulsifiers. They are known for their rapid setting and strong adhesion to a wide range of aggregates. Characteristics include good coating ability, even at lower temperatures, and compatibility with moist aggregates. Cationic emulsions break upon contact with the aggregate surface, facilitating quick curing. They are widely used in surface dressing, tack coats, and cold mix applications where fast setting and strong bonding are required. Their versatility makes them popular in various climatic conditions.
