    Bitumen emulsion is a two-phase system consisting of bitumen, water, and additives called emulsifiers. It ranges from 40-70% bitumen, 25-60% water, and 1-2.5% emulsifiers. There are different types for various applications like tack coats and prime coats. Quality is controlled through mechanical parameters like colloid mill settings and chemical parameters like emulsifier dosage and pH levels. Regular quality control testing monitors characteristics like viscosity and particle size.
