Overview
EN 1430:2009 - Bitumen and bituminous binders: Determination of particle polarity of bituminous emulsions (CEN) specifies a laboratory method to determine the particle polarity (positive = cationic, negative = anionic) of bituminous emulsions. The standard defines the test principle, required reagents and apparatus, sampling/preparation references, the stepwise procedure and how to record and report results. WARNING: the test may involve hazardous materials; follow appropriate safety and regulatory practices.
Key topics and requirements
- Test principle: pass a direct or rectified current through an emulsion between two parallel plate electrodes. Deposition on the cathode indicates cationic (positive) particles; deposition on the anode indicates anionic (negative) particles.
- Electrical conditions: current adjusted to 8–10 mA (test equipment must supply 8 mA at 4.5–15 V capability); stop when current falls to 2 mA or after 30 minutes.
- Electrodes & geometry: stainless steel plates ~100 mm × 25 mm × 1.0 mm; electrode gap d = (12 ± 2) mm; insulating holder (PTFE) dimensions specified.
- Apparatus & consumables: 150 ml or 250 ml beaker, glass rod support, milliammeter, potentiometer, direct-current source. Use analytical-grade reagents: water conforming to EN ISO 3696 (grade 3), xylene per ISO 5280 (or efficient rinsing agent), propan-2-ol, ethanol (≥96%) or methylated spirit.
- Sampling & sample prep: laboratory sampling per EN 58 and sample preparation per EN 12594. Test two portions when results are in doubt.
- Procedure highlights: clean electrodes in a defined sequence, immerse to ~25 mm depth, apply current, record current and timing, wash electrodes and observe deposition, express polarity as positive or negative.
- Reporting: include sample ID, reference to EN 1430:2009, current used, test result, any deviations, and date.
Applications and users
- Useful for quality control and characterization in manufacturers and laboratories handling bitumen emulsions and bituminous binders.
- Typical users: QC/technical labs, bitumen emulsion producers, standards bodies, and contract laboratories performing routine polarity checks as part of product verification and batch documentation.
- The method provides a straightforward polarity determination for formulation control and standardized reporting.
