SS 1h emulsions are used for a variety of purposes. Slow setting emulsions are the most stable of emulsions, and generally can be diluted with water and mixed with mineral fillers and aggregates for all paving uses, the air and pavement temperatures at construction should be sufficiently high to allow the emulsion to fully cure. By practice we know that no asphalt binders should be applied during rain or imminent threat of rain.
