(Main)Bitumen and bituminous binders - Recovery of binder from bituminous emulsion or cut-back or fluxed bituminous binders - Part 1: Recovery by evaporation
General Information
- Abstract
This document specifies a method for the recovery of binder from a bituminous emulsion or from a cut-back or fluxed bitumen after conditioning at ambient temperature for 24 h followed by 24 h at 50 °C, in such a way that will enable further testing with minimum changes of the binder characteristics.
It applies to all types of bituminous emulsions, modified with polymers or non-modified, as well as to all types of cut-back and fluxed bitumen, both modified with polymers and non-modified.
For cut-back and fluxed bituminous binders, this test method is only an intermediate step and should be followed by the stabilisation procedure specified by EN 13074-2. Direct testing of the recovered binder is however used to evaluate the setting ability of fluxed bituminous binders made with vegetal fluxes.
NOTE The recovered binder is not necessarily identical to the initial binder.
WARNING - The use of this document may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this document to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Overview
EN 13074-1:2019 is a European standard developed by CEN that defines a method for the recovery of binder from bituminous emulsions, cut-back bitumen, or fluxed bituminous binders through evaporation. This process is essential for subsequent testing that evaluates the properties of the binder with minimal alteration from its original characteristics. The standard applies to a variety of binders, including both polymer-modified and non-modified types. Its procedures are designed to ensure consistency and reliability during laboratory preparation-supporting accurate quality assurance and compliance within bituminous materials industries.
Key Topics
Scope of Application
EN 13074-1:2019 covers the recovery of binders from:- Bituminous emulsions (polymer-modified and non-modified)
- Cut-back bitumen (polymer-modified and non-modified)
- Fluxed bituminous binders, including those using mineral or vegetal (bio-based) fluxes
Recovery Method
The standard specifies a two-stage conditioning process:- 24 hours at ambient temperature
- 24 hours at 50°C in a ventilated oven This ensures the binder is recovered with minimal alteration, facilitating valid comparative testing.
Sample Preparation and Handling
Guidelines are provided for sampling, preparation of test holders, spreading of material, evaporation conditions, removal, and storage/reheating of the recovered binder.Testing and Limitations
- The recovered binder may not be chemically identical to the original material due to possible losses of volatiles.
- For cut-back and fluxed binders, additional stabilization (see EN 13074-2) is required before detailed testing.
- Direct testing of some fluxed binders (especially those with vegetal flux) is used to assess setting ability.
Safety and Compliance
- The standard highlights the handling of hazardous materials and equipment, urging users to establish and follow appropriate safety protocols and recognize regulatory limitations.
Applications
Materials Testing and Quality Control
- Laboratories use the evaporation recovery method to prepare bituminous binders for further testing, ensuring their products meet industry and project specifications.
- Accurate recovery enables robust comparison of binder properties before and after emulsification, fluxing, or modification.
Product Development
- Manufacturers of road construction materials use the standard to evaluate how their emulsified, cut-back, or fluxed bitumen products will perform after recovery and during application.
Specification and Compliance
- Adherence to EN 13074-1 supports compliance with procurement specifications and regulatory guidelines for bituminous materials used in infrastructure and civil engineering projects.
