Bitumen and Bituminous Binders: Framework for Specifying Cationic Bituminous Emulsions
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13808 standard provides a framework for specifying cationic bituminous emulsions used in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields, and other paved areas. It outlines the performance characteristics required for different classes of cationic bituminous emulsions.
The standard is applicable to emulsions of bitumen, fluxed bitumen, cut back bitumen, and polymer modified bitumen. It also includes emulsions of polymer modified fluxed bitumen, polymer modified cut-back bitumen, and latex modified bituminous emulsions.
The standard acknowledges that within Europe, various types of cationic bituminous emulsions are used, and different binder contents may be utilized for the same purpose based on traditional practices. Therefore, when specifying a particular emulsion for a specific application, it is important to select classes that are compatible and realistic.
