 Liquid
Asphalts are manufactured and distributed by our Kansas
City location.
Prices
and availability vary, so please check with
the location nearest
you.
Asphalt
Emulsions consist
of microscopic particles of asphalt cement
coated with a mild soap solution to form a homogenous
water based asphalt. 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. Since emulsions are water
based, they are environmentally friendly, yet
subject to temperature changes. Emulsions are
used for many applications in fog seals, chip
seals, slurry seals, pavement repair and in construction.
 Cutback
Asphalt is a
mixture of asphalt cement and solvents. The most
common types are classified as rapid cure and
medium cure. They are essentially liquid asphalts.
Some are thin enough to be used as prime oil or
tack, while others must be heated for use. Their
uses included dust control, pavement maintenance,
construction (chip seal) and cold mix patching.

Polymerized
Asphalt Emulsions are
emulsions modified with latex polymer or rubber
polymer with resins, oils and additives. The polymer
is blended into the asphalt during the manufacturing
process and modifies the cured properties of the
asphalt. They give the asphalt increased temperature
range performance. These emulsions can withstand
greater temperature changes throughout the year.
They are more flexible in cold weather and not
as soft in the summer.
Industrial
Cutbacks are
cutback asphalts blended with asphalt pitches
and solvents. They are designed to dry quickly
and leave a hard asphalt coating. These coatings
can withstand higher temperatures and environmental
conditions (such as rain) better than softer conventional
cutbacks. This allows them to be used as the base
asphalt product for undercoating and roofing products.
 Foundation
Coatings are
primarily rapid cure cutback asphalts. They may
be either conventional cutbacks or industrial
cutbacks. They are used for building foundations
and subsurface applications such as bridge pilings.
Asphalt emulsions can also be used for foundation
coatings provided the necessary modifications
are performed by the buyer.

Slurry
Seal Emulsions are specifically designed to be used in a slurry
system. The emulsions are anionic (negatively
charged) or cationic (positively charged). Most
are slow setting emulsions but there are quick
setting emulsions for fast traffic systems. The
emulsions are designed for the specific job in
a specific area using specific raw materials.
They allow for adequate mix time with the other
materials before being placed on the pavement
and curing to a new, slurry seal wearing surface.
Micro
Surfacing Emulsions are commonly cationic (positively charged), slow
setting asphalt emulsions modified with a latex
polymer. These emulsions are designed for adequate
mixing, quick drying and superior performance.
Their latex composition allows for tougher, stronger
cured asphalt. These emulsions are matched to
the specific job and location. Systems applied
using these emulsions far outlast conventional
systems. These systems may be opened to traffic
in as little as 15 minutes.
Bulk
Tack-SS1H is
an anionic emulsion specifically designed for
priming old pavement before patching and overlay.
Tack SS-1H is available in pails, drums and in
bulk at our Kansas City, Denver, Oklahoma City,
Minneapolis and Tulsa branches.
