Overview
EN 13075-2:2016 - Bitumen and bituminous binders: Determination of breaking behaviour - Part 2 specifies a laboratory method to determine the fines mixing time of diluted cationic bituminous emulsions under standardized conditions. The test measures how long a diluted cationic emulsion remains mixable when a defined quantity of mineral filler is added, recording the time to a noticeable breaking/pasty state. This metric helps assess emulsion–filler compatibility and breaking behaviour for quality control and formulation development.
WARNING: The standard notes the use of hazardous materials and equipment. Users must establish safe laboratory practices and comply with regulatory limits.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Method for diluted cationic emulsions to determine fines mixing time (mixability until breaking).
- Principle: Add filler gradually to diluted emulsion while stirring; the end point is when the mixture becomes pasty, forms non-adherent lumps and stirring power increases.
- Sample preparation and conditioning: Emulsion and water are conditioned at (25 ± 1) °C; fillers are dried at (110 ± 5) °C to constant mass.
- Quantities and procedure details: Typical test portions stated in the standard include transferring (100.0 ± 0.5) g emulsion, adding (50.0 ± 0.5) g water, and adding (150 ± 1) g filler in portions (10 g every 5 s) while stirring at 1 r/s. Timing is stopped when breaking occurs.
- Reference fillers: Three allowed reference fillers - Forshammer, Sikaisol, and Caolin Q92 - with specified compositional and particle-size envelopes (see Annex A).
- Result expression: Individual mixing times (seconds) to nearest integer; report the arithmetic mean of two tests. If no break within 300 s, report “> 300 s” (or “> 300 s – formation of lumps” if lumps form but full break does not occur).
- Precision: No European round-robin precision data provided in this edition.
Applications and users
This standard is relevant for:
- Quality control laboratories in bitumen/emulsion production
- Asphalt technologists and pavement material researchers
- Emulsion formulators assessing filler compatibility and breaking characteristics
- Contracting firms and materials certification bodies that require standardized test data
Practical uses include batch acceptance, troubleshooting breaking problems, comparing emulsion grades, and supporting specification compliance for cationic bituminous emulsions used in cold mixes, surface treatments, or other pavement applications.
