Asphalt emulsions, function

The same kind of reasoning can be carried out for systems containing a fatty amine and a fatty amine salt as a function of pH, such as the ones that have been widely used in asphalt emulsions. At low pH (say pH 3), the amine salt behaves as a quaternary ammonium compound according to the ionic correlation for optimum formulation. However, a quaternary compound such as alkyltrimethylammonium is substantially more hydrophilic than the corresponding alkylammonium at low pH in spite of the three extra... 

For application purposes it is often found that asphalt emulsions stabilized by cationic surfactants function better than such emulsions stabilized by anio- nic surfactants. One main reason is that the interaction between the emulsion droplet and the road material differs depending on the emulsifier used (37). When the asphalt emulsion is spread on the road surface it should rapidly break and form a homogeneous layer. The stones on the road surface are often negatively eharged and there will be an electrostatic attraction between cationic emulsion droplets and the stones. This attraction facilitates the attachment and spreading of the emulsion. On the other hand, when the emulsion droplet is negatively eharged there will be an electrostatic repulsion between the stones and the emulsion droplets. 

The simplest reaction ofTOFA is the formation of soaps upon treatment with bases. Tall oil fatty acid soaps, such as ammonium tallate, potassium taUate, and sodium tallate are water soluble. The low proportion of saturated fatty acids allows them to be used in numerous cosmetic and personal care applications, functioning as an emulsifier or surfactant. The same applies for many industrial applications such as bitumen emulsions commonly used in roadway construction and maintenance. Asphalt emulsions are classified based on their ionic charge anionic, cationic, and nonionic. Anionic emulsions... 

On the basis of their manifold functionalities, proteins can be used both in various nutritional and technical applications texturized proteins as meat extenders and replacers as well as fibres for textiles, protein-stabilized emulsions and foams in food dressings as well as asphalt emulsions or fire control foams, protein-based films, and coatings for fruit moisture control as well as for packaging purposes. 

Chip seal Loose chips from a freshly paved road are the major safety concern for chip seal operation, and several attempts were reported in the literature to develop a laboratory procedure to simulate the field experience. A modified fretting test (also know as the abrasion cohesion test Esso, ACTE) appears to be the most success-fid [26, 27]. In this test a known amount of CRS-2 asphalt emulsion and aggregates are spread on a roofing felt, and then rolled with a 301 rabber roller. The sample is subjected to the shearing action of a horizontal steam-hose, which is attached to a Hobart sun and planet mixer, and the percentage of retained chips is recorded as a function of curing time.
