NBN EN 13808:2005

This document specifies the requirements for performance characteristics of cationic bituminous emulsion classes which are suitable for use in the construction and maintenance of roads, airfields and other paved areas.
This document applies to emulsions of pure bitumen, or of fluxed bitumen, or of cut back bitumen and to emulsions of polymer modified bitumen, or of polymer modified fluxed bitumen, or of polymer modified cut-back bitumen, which also includes latex modified bituminous emulsions.
NOTE 1 Within Europe several types of cationic bituminous emulsions are used. Depending on traditional practices, different binder contents may be used for the same purpose.
The framework for specifying cationic bituminous emulsions in this document provides a basis for quality agreements between suppliers and clients. Care should be taken to make class selections which are compatible and realistic.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the term "% (m/m)" is used to represent the ratio mass to mass.
