WPB: ASHGABAT, Turkmenistan (MNTV) — A team of researchers at the International Scientific and Technological Park, operating under the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, has successfully created a novel method for producing bitumen emulsion utilizing domestically sourced materials, according to Business Turkmenistan.
This breakthrough is part of a broader initiative aimed at minimizing the nation’s reliance on imported substances.
The newly formulated bitumen emulsion consists of 40% bitumen, 48.8% water, 10% solvent, 0.6% hydrochloric acid, and 0.6% emulsifier. This composition significantly enhances its effectiveness in roadwork by strengthening layer adhesion, sealing cracks, restoring potholes, and optimizing asphalt concrete production.
Unlike conventional bitumen, which necessitates high temperatures for application, this emulsion can be used in its cold form, providing a more practical and eco-friendly alternative.
The innovation is anticipated to elevate the durability and performance of roads throughout Turkmenistan while also cutting expenses linked to material imports.
