    Production usually occurs with hot bitumen and warm soap solution, but finished emulsion should cool to a stable range before storage. Storage and spraying temperatures must stay above minimum viscosity limits yet below thresholds that destabilize the emulsion. Excessive heat accelerates breaking, while cold conditions raise viscosity and clogging risk. The optimal range depends on grade but must remain consistent throughout handling.
