Bitumen carried in water, laid without heat.
An emulsion is fine bitumen droplets held in water by an emulsifier. Once laid, the water leaves and the bitumen sets. Cationic grades are named by how fast they set: rapid (CRS), medium (CMS) and slow (CSS). No heating and no solvent, so they are the cleaner choice for tack coats and maintenance.
