Bitumen emulsifier is a special type of surfactant and a key material in producing emulsified bitumen. Its function is to disperse solid or liquid bitumen (oil phase) into water (aqueous phase) under mechanical action, forming a uniform and stable emulsion that can be applied at ambient temperature. The molecules of bitumen emulsifier possess a hydrophilic (water-attracting) end and a lipophilic (oil-attracting) end. The lipophilic end adsorbs onto the surface of bitumen droplets, while the hydrophilic end extends into the water, forming a protective membrane around the asphalt droplets. This membrane carries an electrical charge, creating electrostatic repulsion between all asphalt droplets, which prevents them from aggregating and coalescing, thereby maintaining a uniformly dispersed and stable state of asphalt in water.

Using emulsion bitumen plant, bitumen can undergo dilution and emulsification with emulsifiers and water to produce emulsified bitumen or modified emulsified bitumen. Due to its excellent fluidity, ease of application, and material efficiency, emulsified bitumen is widely used in road construction and waterproofing engineering. In road construction, emulsified asphalt is applied in: Chips sealing, Slurry sealing, Micro-surfacing, Micro-surfacing, Tack coat, Prime coat, Cold asphalt recycling.

Emulsifiers can be classified by ion type into: Cationic emulsifiers, Anionic emulsifiers, Non-ionic emulsifiers.

Emulsifiers can be classified by breaking speed into: Rapid-setting emulsifiers, Medium-setting emulsifiers, Slow-setting emulsifiers.
