The Road Emulsion Association Technical Datasheets
The Association’s standing Technical Committee draws up (and periodically updates) a series of Technical Data Sheets that are designed to provide users of bitumen emulsions with information to best understand and safely use those emulsions across a broad spectrum of processes and environments where they enhance waterproof road structures.
To access any of the most recently published sheet please click on its title below. These datasheets will then open as PDF files in a new window or tab.
