Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-emulsified with water and emulsifiers
Finished bituminous emulsions are mixtures, not pure petroleum bitumen.
If surface-active emulsified product
High emulsifier content shifts to polishes or prepared emulsions.
If lubricating oil residue blend
If mixed with lube oils for hydraulic sealants, it becomes lubricating preparations.
