Abstract

Costa Rica has used asphalt emulsions for different purposes quite extensively over 
the years. Nevertheless, asphalt emulsion preparation and its storage care needs have 
been overlooked by users who employ these emulsions on a regular basis. This article 
intends to provide details about the procedures involved in different asphalt emulsion lab 
preparation. In addition, the article also gives a series of recommendations about how to 
properly handle these emulsions during and after the manufacturing process so that the 
specific desired application outcome can be achieved.
