Abstract
Abstract Cationic oil in water type bituminous-aggregate slurries capable of being worked are disclosed. The slurries contain a densely graded aggregate, from about 8% to about 20% of an aqueous emulsion based on the weight of the aggregate, wherein the emulsion is comprised of from about 55% to about 65% of bitumen based on the weight of the emulsion, from about 0.5% to about 2%, based on the weight of the emulsion, of the reaction products of one or more polyamines and a polycarboxylic acid of the general formula <IMAGE> or <IMAGE> wherein x and y are integers from 3 to 9, x and y together equal 12, at least one Z is a carboxylic acid group and any remaining Z is hydrogen, as emulsifier, and water to make up 100% by weight. Additionally, from about 4% to about 16% water, based on the weight of the aggregate, is added to form a slurry of the aggregate and the emulsion; and up to 3% of an additive selected from the group consisting of lime and cement is employed to reduce the setting time of the mixture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
A paving slurry seal mixture of a cationic aqueous bituminous emulsion and mineral aggregate capable of being worked comprising: a densely graded mineral aggregate passing through No. 4 and at least 80% retained on 200 mesh screen; from about 8% to about 20% of an oil in water type emulsion, based on the weight of the mineral aggregate, wherein the emulsion is comprised of from about 55% to about 65% bitumen, based on the weight of the emulsion, from about 0.5% to about 2% of a cation-active emulsifier based on the weight of the emulsion, wherein the emulsifier is selected from the group consisting of reaction products of one or more polyamines reacted with a polycarboxylic acid corresponding to the formulae ##STR11## wherein x and y are integers from 3 to 9, x and y together equal 12, at least one Z is a carboxylic acid group and any remaining Z is hydrogen, and water to make up 100% by weight of the emulsion, the emulsion having a pH in the range of from 2-7; from about 4% to about 16% water, based on the weight of the mineral aggregate, added to form a slurry of the aggregate and the emulsion; and up to 3% of an inorganic or organic additive to reduce the setting time of the mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
219 words
A paving slurry seal mixture of a cationic aqueous bituminous emulsion and mineral aggregate capable of being worked comprising: a densely graded mineral aggregate passing through No. 4 and at least 80% retained on 200 mesh screen; from about 8% to about 20% of an oil in water type emulsion, based on the weight of the mineral aggregate, wherein the emulsion is comprised of from about 55% to about 65% bitumen, based on the weight of the emulsion, from about 0.5% to about 2% of a cation-active emulsifier based on the weight of the emulsion, wherein the emulsifier is selected from the group consisting of reaction products of one or more polyamines reacted with a polycarboxylic acid corresponding to the formulae ##STR11## wherein x and y are integers from 3 to 9, x and y together equal 12, at least one Z is a carboxylic acid group and any remaining Z is hydrogen, and water to make up 100% by weight of the emulsion, the emulsion having a pH in the range of from 2-7; from about 4% to about 16% water, based on the weight of the mineral aggregate, added to form a slurry of the aggregate and the emulsion; and up to 3% of an inorganic or organic additive to reduce the setting time of the mixture.
