Emulsion Bitumen – High-Quality Cationic & Anionic Grades — Export from Iran
Emulsion Bitumen is a water-based dispersion of bitumen stabilized by an emulsifying agent. It is an environmentally friendly and energy-efficient binder used in cold application methods such as surface dressing, chip sealing, slurry seal, and tack coats.
We supply premium-quality Emulsion Bitumen from advanced Iranian production facilities, available in both Cationic and Anionic types, with grades including SS (Slow-Setting), MS (Medium-Setting), RS (Rapid-Setting), and QS (Quick-Setting). Complies with international standards including ASTM D2397 and EN 13808.
Note: Cationic emulsions bond better with negatively charged aggregates (most common). Anionic types are used with specific aggregates and in special conditions.

Key Notes
- Cationic Emulsions: Most widely used; bond well with silica-rich aggregates (granite, trap rock).
- Anionic Emulsions: Suitable for limestone and dolomite aggregates; less common but effective in specific conditions.
- SS (Slow-Setting): Used in slurry seals and cold mix asphalt for maintenance.
- MS (Medium-Setting): Ideal for surface dressing and chip sealing.
- RS/QS (Rapid/Quick-Setting): Used for tack coats and rapid repair projects.
- All batches tested for stability, particle charge, and residue quality.
- Pre-shipment inspection by SGS included for every shipment.
Applications
- Tack Coats: Bonding layer between asphalt layers (RS/QS)
- Surface Dressing: Chip sealing with MS/SS grades
- Slurry Seal: Preventative maintenance using SS
- Cold Mix Asphalt: For road patching and repairs
- Prime Coat: Sealing granular bases before asphalt layer
- Dust Control: On unpaved roads and construction sites
