Cationic asphalt emulsifier, as an important road material additive, has a wide range of application scenarios and significant technical and economic advantages. The following is a detailed analysis of its typical application scenarios and technical characteristics:
1、 Road construction and maintenance field
1. Construction of ambient temperature mixture
Application scenarios: Low grade highways, rural roads, scenic area roads
Technical advantage: Achieve low-temperature mixing at 60-80 ℃ (reducing energy consumption by more than 40% compared to hot mix asphalt), suitable for remote areas (no heating equipment required)
Typical case: CQS-1h quick cracking emulsifier is used on rural roads in Nujiang Canyon, Yunnan, which improves construction efficiency by 50%
2. Preventive maintenance techniques
Micro surface/slurry seal layer
Use slow cracking and fast setting emulsifiers (such as CSS-1h)
Form a 2-5mm protective layer to extend the lifespan of the road surface by 3-5 years
Mist sealing layer
Using ultra slow cracking emulsifiers (such as CSS-1)
Penetrating repair of micro cracks at a depth of 0.5-1cm
Cold regeneration technology
Full depth regeneration:
CRS series emulsifier with a dosage of 0.3-0.5%
RAP material utilization rate can reach 100% (such as the G30 Lianhuo Expressway overhaul project)
2、 Construction in special environments
1. Construction in high-altitude regions
Cold resistant emulsifier (freezing point -30 ℃) is used in Naqu, Xizang to solve the limitation of construction of traditional asphalt above -5 ℃
2. Rainy and humid environment
Fujian coastal application of fast setting emulsifiers (initial setting time<30 minutes) to overcome construction difficulties during rainy season
3、 Environmental Protection and Resource Utilization
1. Recycling of waste materials
Emulsifier+100% RAP material cold regeneration, reducing carbon emissions by 60%
Typical case: Beijing Fifth Ring Road major renovation saves 23000 tons of new asphalt
2. Construction in ecologically sensitive areas
Solvent free emulsifiers are applied in the Sanjiangyuan Protection Zone, with VOC emissions<50mg/m ³ (national standard limit of 120mg/m ³)
5、 Innovative application direction
1. Intelligent materials
Developing temperature sensitive emulsifiers (with a sudden change in viscosity at 20 ℃) for self-healing road surfaces
2. New energy supporting facilities
Conductive emulsified asphalt for photovoltaic highway base (resistivity<10 Ω· m)
3. Military Engineering
Rapid setting emulsifier (5-minute open traffic) is used for field airport construction.
