Abstract
Abstract Quick setting, anionic bitumen emulsion compositions, suitable for road paving, recreational surfaces, etc., are formulated by emulsifying the bitumen in water with an ammonium or alkali metal salt of a hydrocarbon-substituted sulfuric, sulfonic, phosphoric or phosphonic acid emulsifier, mixing the emulsion with a fine aggregate and, prior to spreading the aggregate emulsion mixture, introducing an alkaline earth metal set initiator. The resulting composition rapidly breaks to a hard cohesive structure, so as to permit early use by traffic.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A surfacing composition which rapidly sets to a tough cohesive surface with early development of tensile strength and rain resistance and is prepared by intimately mixing a solid particulate matter, a bituminous emulsion and a set initiator in the following proportions: 100 parts by weight of said solid particulate matter; 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of said set initiator which is Portland cement, hydrated lime or mixtures thereof; and from about 5 to 100 parts of said bituminous emulsion comprising from about 50 to 70 weight percent of an asphalt and from about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent of an anionic emulsifying salt of a hydrocarbyl sulfonic acid of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R 1 is alkyl or alkenyl of from 10-20 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A surfacing composition which rapidly sets to a tough cohesive surface with early development of tensile strength and rain resistance and is prepared by intimately mixing a solid particulate matter, a bituminous emulsion and a set initiator in the following proportions: 100 parts by weight of said solid particulate matter; 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of said set initiator which is Portland cement, hydrated lime or mixtures thereof; and from about 5 to 100 parts of said bituminous emulsion comprising from about 50 to 70 weight percent of an asphalt and from about 0.1 to about 3 weight percent of an anionic emulsifying salt of a hydrocarbyl sulfonic acid of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R 1 is alkyl or alkenyl of from 10-20 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of preparing slurry seals which rapidly set to a tough cohesive surface with early development of tensile strength and rain resistance which comprises intimately mixing 100 parts by weight of mineral aggregate, 0.1 to about 5 parts by weight of a set initiator which is Portland cement, hydrated lime, or mixtures thereof, and sufficient water to wet the mixture; adding with continued mixing 5 to 100 parts of a bituminous emulsion having from about 50 to 70 percent by weight of an asphalt emulsified with from about 0.1 to 3 weight percent of an alkali metal salt of an acid of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 is alkyl or alkenyl of from 10 to 20 carbon atoms, and then rapidly spreading the mixture onto a surface, whereby the mixture rapidly sets to a tough cohesive surface.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
139 words
A method of preparing slurry seals which rapidly set to a tough cohesive surface with early development of tensile strength and rain resistance which comprises intimately mixing 100 parts by weight of mineral aggregate, 0.1 to about 5 parts by weight of a set initiator which is Portland cement, hydrated lime, or mixtures thereof, and sufficient water to wet the mixture; adding with continued mixing 5 to 100 parts of a bituminous emulsion having from about 50 to 70 percent by weight of an asphalt emulsified with from about 0.1 to 3 weight percent of an alkali metal salt of an acid of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 is alkyl or alkenyl of from 10 to 20 carbon atoms, and then rapidly spreading the mixture onto a surface, whereby the mixture rapidly sets to a tough cohesive surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said anionic emulsifying salt is a sodium salt.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein said set initiator is added in from about 0.25 to 2 parts based on mineral aggregate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
38 words
A composition according to claim 1 wherein said set initiator is present in from 0.1 to 3 parts by weight and said emulsifying salt is present in from about 0.4 to about 2 weight percent of the emulsion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein said solid particulate matter is a siliceous or calcareous mineral aggregate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
68 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein said solid particulate matter is mineral aggregate, said set initiator is Portland cement, and are in the following proportions: 0.25 to 2 weight percent for said set initiator and 15 to 25 parts of said bituminous emulsion, having from 55 to 65 weight percent of an asphalt having a penetration at 77° F. in the range of about 40 to 110.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
A composition according to claim 1, wherein said bituminous emulsion has from 0.1 to 0.3 weight percent of an alkali metal salt of phenol sulfonic acid.
