    In technical standards, bitumen emulsion is defined as a dispersion of bitumen droplets in water stabilized by an emulsifier, classified by particle charge, setting rate, and residue properties. Specifications define limits for residue content, viscosity, pH, storage stability, sieve residue, and breaking behavior. This definition distinguishes emulsions from cutbacks by emphasizing water as the continuous phase and controlled demulsification on aggregates.
