An improved mixing process for aqueous bituminous emulsion-aggregate slurries is disclosed whereby cationic emulsions are prepared by emulsifying bitumen, such as an asphalt, in water with a new kind of cation-active emulsifier which is the product of the reaction of a polyamine with certain polycarboxylic acids wherein one or more additives selected from the group consisting of a polyamine, ammonia, magnesium sulfate, cupric sulfate, chromium chloride, ferric sulfate or dilute sulfuric acid is added to the mixing water to extend the mixing time and to give mixes with good flowability and flotation characteristics.

An improved process for preparing a paving slurry seal mixture of a cationic aqueous bituminous emulsion and mineral aggregate capable of being worked comprising mixing a densely graded mineral aggregate passing through No. 4 and at least 80% retained on 200 mesh screen, and from about 4% to about 1

An improved process for preparing a paving slurry seal mixture of a cationic aqueous bituminous emulsion and mineral aggregate capable of being worked comprising mixing a densely graded mineral aggregate passing through No. 4 and at least 80% retained on 200 mesh screen, and from about 4% to about 16% water, based on the weight of the mineral aggregate, containing up to 3% of an inorganic or organic additive to reduce the setting time of the mixture to prewet the aggregate, and mixing the prewetted aggregate with from about 8% to about 20% of an oil in water type emulsion, based on the weight of the mineral aggregate, wherein the emulsion is comprised of from about 30% to about 80% bitumen, based on the weight of the emulsion, from about 0.1% to about 10% of a cation-active emulsifier based on the weight of the emulsion, wherein the emulsifier is selected from the group consisting of reaction products of one or more polyamines reacted with a polycarboxylic acid corresponding to the formulae [Figure] and [Figure] wherein x and y are integers from 3 to 9, x and y together equal 12, at least one Z is a carboxylic acid group and any remaining Z is hydrogen, and water to make up 100% by weight of the emulsion, the emulsion having a pH in the range of from 2-7, wherein the improvement comprises adding from 0.2% to 0.7% of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of polyamines, ammonia, magnesium sulfate, cupric sulfate, chromium chloride, ferric sulfate and dilute sulfuric acid to give cationic bituminous emulsions of extended mixing times.
