emulsion

  1. Bitumen emulsions, in which the bitumen is dispersed in water, through the use of emulsifying agents, as small globules permitting use at lower temperatures.
  2. Explosive emulsions are mixtures of fuel and oxidizers (mainly nitrates) in a ratio of approximately 1:10, which have good water resistant properties and chemical stability.
    Emulsion/ANFO blends can be used to suit particular circumstances.
