    Why is cationic bitumen emulsion preferred for acidic aggregates and rapid breaking applications?

    Cationic emulsions carry a positive charge that bonds readily with negatively charged acidic aggregates, promoting fast adhesion. This improves coating and early strength, especially in surface treatments and tack coats. Rapid breaking minimizes pickup and traffic disruption. The chemistry allows predictable interaction with a wide range of aggregates, making cationic grades a practical default for many high productivity applications.
