Anionic Bitumen Emulsifying Agents

Sustainable, high-performance anionic emulsifiers for modern road construction

How Emulsifen G10000 and GPRO are redefining the next generation of Slow-Set bitumen emulsions

The demand for more stable, safer, and environmentally responsible asphalt emulsions has never been greater. Regulatory pressure, the need to reduce environmental impact, the expansion of agricultural zones near roadways, and the industry’s shift toward higher-performance emulsions are all driving a global transformation in emulsifier technology.

In this context, Polytrade introduces its line of liquid anionic emulsifiers, developed using natural modified resin technology and engineered to deliver operational simplicity, superior stability, and true sustainability for asphalt emulsion producers.

In this article, we highlight the two leading products in our portfolio:

  • Emulsifen G10000 — a premium, versatile, sustainable anionic emulsifier, improving adhesion.
  • Emulsifen GPRO — a high-performance option for more challenging bitumens and demanding applications.

1. What Makes Polytrade’s Anionic Emulsifiers Unique?

According to our official U.S. portfolio, both products were developed to deliver:

  • Simple handling, with no heating required
  • Fast dilution, high performance in water
  • Superior stability, low sieve residue and excellent sedimentation
  • Compatibility with multiple bitumen sources, including 50/70 and 70/100
  • Sustainability, through the use of natural modified resin technology

Unlike traditional emulsifiers that require complex saponification steps or strict process conditions, Polytrade’s liquid emulsifiers were designed to make the operator’s job easier — without compromising performance.

2. Emulsifen G10000: The Modern Standard for Slow-Set Emulsions (SS-1 and SS-1h)

Emulsifen G10000 is a liquid anionic emulsifier, based on natural resin, ideal for:

  • SS-1 and SS-1h
  • Road surface binders
  • Waterproofing emulsions
  • Water-based tack coats
  • Dust suppression
  • Prime coat
  • Soil stabilization emulsions

Key Technical Advantages

  • No heating required for dilution
  • Stable pH (11–12), ideal for SS formulations
  • Excellent solubility → more consistent emulsions
  • Renewable, biodegradable base

These features make G10000 the recommended choice for producers seeking a reliable emulsifier, with reproducible performance and minimal technical complexity, including when working with more viscous bitumen grades.

3. Emulsifen GPRO: Enhanced Performance for More Challenging Bitumens

For producers working with:

  • Harder penetration grades
  • Bitumen with chemical variability
  • Requirements for superior emulsion stability

Polytrade provides Emulsifen GPRO, a high-performance emulsifier with enhanced colloidal stability.

GPRO Highlights

  • Improved stability
  • Broader operational tolerance
  • Ideal for premium, high-value SS emulsions

4. Choosing the Right Emulsifier for Each Application

Based on our Application Matrix, the guidance is:

Application Recommended Product
SS-1 / SS-1h G10000 / GPRO
Waterproofing G10000
Slurry Seal

Tack Coat (WB)

G10000

G10000

Dust Suppression GPRO
Soil Stabilization G10000 or GPRO
 More difficult bitumens    G10000 or GPRO

This matrix helps producers immediately identify the best solution for their technical needs.

5. Simplified Operation: Why It Matters

Asphalt emulsion producers deal daily with:

  • Variability in bitumen
  • Temperature constraints
  • Increasing energy costs
  • Need to reduce auxiliary additives
  • Environmental and regulatory pressures

Emulsifen G10000 was created to simplify these realities.

No-Heat Dilution

→ Immediate reduction in energy cost.

Simple and Robust SOP

The standard process requires only diluting the product in water, adjusting pH if needed, and moving directly to production — eliminating complex neutralization steps.

(According to the technical presentation, a 3,000 mL solution is prepared with 175.96 mL of G10000 + water, with no heating required.)

6. Sustainability With Real Performance

Both products use natural modified resin technology, which offers:

  • Low toxicity
  • Biodegradability
  • Improved environmental profile compared
  • Suitability for agricultural and environmentally sensitive zones

This allows companies to meet not only technical specifications but also the increasing environmental requirements of modern infrastructure projects.

7. Why Anionic Emulsion Producers Choose Our Emulsifen Line

✔ Lower operational complexity
✔ Greater stability in SS-1 and SS-1h emulsions
✔ Suitable for global bitumens (U.S., Latin America, Asia, Oceania)
✔ Sustainable, safe, biodegradable
✔ Strong technical support
✔ Clear portfolio: G10000 broader applications, GPRO for high performance

8. Conclusion: The Future of Anionic Emulsions Is Simple, Efficient, and Sustainable

Polytrade brings to market a modern line of liquid anionic emulsifiers that combines:

  • Operational simplicity
  • Superior colloidal stability
  • Environmental responsibility
  • Global bitumen compatibility

With Emulsifen G10000 and Emulsifen GPRO, asphalt emulsion producers worldwide can achieve higher levels of productivity, consistency, and sustainability.
