Technical purpose This EPD is for Micropave bitumen emulsion. It is manufactured at the COLAS Bitumen Emulsion production facility at Deerpark Industrial Estate, Oranmore, Co. Galway, Ireland. The main components of the bitumen emulsion are: bitumen, water, emulsifier, solvent, acid and additives. The Micropave bitumen emulsion is used as the emulsion component in microsurfaceing which is a cold applied thin bituminous overlay. The bitumen emulsions are a mixture of two pre-mixed liquids: (a) bitumen phase: comprising bitumen, solvent and additive, and (b) water phase: comprising water, emulsifier and acid. The bitumen raw material delivered to the production site is stored in a heated bitumen storage tank at high temperature prior to mixing. After a milling process using a colloidal mill, the bitumen emulsions are stored on site in heated at tanks, at approximately 80 °C, before dispatch to site.
