Abstract

The properties of a cationic slow-set emulsifier named INDULIN SBT in the absence and presence of Tween 40 and Tween 60 is investigated in this paper. After adding Tween 40 and Tween 60, the interfacial tension and dilatational modulus of SBT have remarkable changes. Compared with the pure SBT system, the interfacial properties of the mixed surfactant systems are improved obviously, especially if the ratio of the mixtures is 1 : 1. The Zeta potentials are also the lowest with favorable storage stability in these systems. At suitable ratios, synergistic adsorption may take place, resulting in remarkable enhanced interfacial properties. The combination of SBT and Tween 40 as well as Tween 60 could be used as surfactant mixtures applied in asphalt emulsions.

Kurzfassung

Die Eigenschaften des langsam brechenden kationischen Emulgators INDULIN SBT in An- und Abwesenheit der Tenside Tween 40 und Tween 60 wurden untersucht. Nach Zugabe von Tween 40 und Tween 60 änderten sich die Grenflächenspannung und der Dilatationsmodulus von SBT deutlich. Verglichen mit dem reinem SBT-System sind die Grenzflächeneigenschaften der Mischtensidsystem verbessert, speziell die der Systeme mit einem Mischungsverhältnis von 1 : 1. Diese Systeme weisen auch die niedrigsten Zeta-Potenziale mit einer positiven Lagerstabilität auf. Bei geeigneten Verhältnissen findet eine synergistische Adsorption statt, die zu deutlich erhöhten Grenzflächeneigenschaften führt. Die Kombination aus SBT und Tween 40 bzw. Tween 60 könnte als Tensidmischung in Asphaltemulsionen eingesetzt werden.
