Aspalt is used in roofing materials, surfacing roads, in lining the walls of water-retaining structures such as reservoirs and swimming pools, and in manufacturing floor tiles. Most of the test methods for asphalt are based on national test methods from European countries, including UK test methods specified in British Standards.
BS 434-2 provides recommendations and guidance on the general usage of cationic bituminous emulsions on roads and other paved areas. The emulsions covered conform to BS 434-1, or BS EN 13808 (modified and non-modified), or are proprietary emulsions.
