Asphalt Emulsions are mixtures of asphalt binders, water, and emulsifying agents. They are suspensions of very small asphalt droplets in water. The emulsifying agent keeps the droplets suspended. This suspension allows the use of lower application temperatures, typically ambient to 180°F. Emulsions can be either anionic (negatively charged) or cationic (positively charged). These emulsions are further classified into slow setting, medium setting and rapid setting categories. The type of emulsion to choose is determined by its intended purpose. Emulsions are used for many applications in fog seals, chip seals, slurry seals, pavement repair and in construction.

H.G. Meigs produces a full line of Asphalt Emulsions. All of our emulsions are manufactured using strict quality control measures to insure that each one meets or exceeds AASHTO and ASTM specifications and are backed by the MEIGS ADVANTAGE WARRANTY.
