Patent number: 4970025Abstract: This invention provides cationic emulsions of bituminous binders of the bitumen/polymer type, formed by a dispersion of an organic phase of the binder in an aqueous phase containing a cationic nitrogenous emulsifier and a mineral or organic acid, the acid being in appropriate quantity so that the pH of the aqueous phase is comprised between 3 and 9. The aqueous phase also contains an agent consisting of at least one water-soluble sequestering salt of phosphonic acid, particularly a salt of alkaline metal or of amine of hydroxyalkyl-1,1-diphosphonic acid, and optionally a water-soluble thickening agent. To obtain the emulsions, which are usable for road applications, the emulsifying agent, the sequestering agent and optionally the thickening agent may be used in the form of a premixture containing the agents and called cationic emulsifying system.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1988Date of Patent: November 13, 1990Assignee: Elf FranceInventors: Francis Demangeon, Emile Lopez

Patent number: 4921892Abstract: Anionic Emulsions of asphalt, bitumen, or tar which may optionally contain a latex of a rubbery polymer may be set using a destablizing system comprising either an alkali silicofluoride in the presence of a sulfamate or a mixture of an amine in the presence of a divalent metal ion. The setting time for such emulsions can be reduced to less than half an hour.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1987Date of Patent: May 1, 1990Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Richard B. Moore, Paul L. Fitzgerald, Ernest G. Pole

Patent number: 4812327Abstract: Emulsion type rust-preventive baking composition which comprises a polymer emulsion such as an aqueous acrylic resin emulsion and a heat-fusible organic filler having a melting or softening point within the range of 40.degree.-250.degree. C. which is higher by at least 10.degree. C. than the lowest film-forming temperature of the polymer emulsion, as incorporated in the polymer emulsion. When the emulsion type rust-preventive baking composition obtained by the mixture is coated on reinforcing steel rods or the like treatment targests and baked, the heat-fusible organic filler melts and fills pores in the rust-preventive coat film, whereby the coat film is rendered close and compact to produce excellent rust-preventive effect.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1987Date of Patent: March 14, 1989Assignee: National Starch and Chemical CorporationInventors: Hideaki Hanazawa, Makoto Mori, Katsumi Sasaki, Katsumi Inagaki
