However, some manufacturers may use soap or gasoline solvent instead of water. If the solvent is water or soap, then the quality of <em><strong>bitumen <\/strong><\/em>is good and it will evaporate when settled on asphalt. It also has a strong adhesion to it.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">But if the solvent used\u00a0is gasoline, then it will release toxic substances like sulfur when it evaporates. The presence of these substances on asphalt can increase the risk of cancer for those who are near it. Additionally, the more time <em><strong>bitumen emulsion<\/strong><\/em> remains in the storage tank and is exposed to extreme temperatures, the more likely it is to break.<\/p>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1496\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.iranetrade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bitumen-Emulsion-25.jpg\" alt=\"The components determine the quality of bitumen emulsion\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iranetrade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bitumen-Emulsion-25.jpg 600w, https:\/\/iranetrade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bitumen-Emulsion-25-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iranetrade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bitumen-Emulsion-25-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/iranetrade.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Bitumen-Emulsion-25-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Different types of bitumen emulsion<\/h2>\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong>Bitumen emulsion suppliers<\/strong><\/em> categorize and grade <em><strong>bitumen <\/strong><\/em>based on different factors.
