is the emulsified asphalt in which the
asphalt globules are electropositively charged.
Common grades of cationic emulsified asphalt are: CRS asphalt —
cationic rapid-setting emulsified asphalt; CMS asphalt — cationic
medium-setting emulsified asphalt; CSS asphalt — cationic
slow-setting emulsified asphalt. Emulsified cationic asphalt is superior to
emulsified anionic asphalt in
its ability to mix with wet stones, or aggregate, because its
electropositive charge aids in rapidly replacing the water adhering to the
stones.
