Cationic Emulsifiers for Chip Seal / Surface Dressing

A common challenge emulsion producers face when making cationic rapid-setting (CRS) chip seal/surface dressing emulsions is achieving and maintaining desired emulsion viscosity from production to road application. This challenge limits asphalt selection, thereby increasing asphalt costs, and often results in costly and time-consuming emulsion reprocessing.

Arkema’s cationic emulsifiers address these challenges by delivering optimal emulsion viscosity characteristics that remain consistent through time and across a wide range of asphalts. Our Dinoram^® and Emulsamine^® (EU) cationic emulsifiers provide emulsion producers the benefit of increased versatility in asphalt selection, which lowers asphalt costs and reduced emulsion reprocessing due to viscosity problems, making it more efficient and cost-effective for government agencies, emulsion producers, paving contractors, and the public.
