The Road Emulsion Association (REA) is a UK trade association representing manufacturing businesses that supply a wide range of bitumen emulsion products used in the highways, airfield and construction sectors.
The Road Emulsion Association members are committed to improving the Health and Safety performance of the industry and are active in introducing, promoting and maintaining progress in this vital area.
The Association is involved in the changes being introduced across Europe by the REACH Regulations by co-operating with the International Bitumen Emulsion Federation (IBEF).
Bitumen emulsions manufactured by the Road Emulsion Association members are by nature cold and sustainable products.
Those emulsions are a significant and important part of many road surface treatment processes and provide
real sustainable alternatives to highway structural maintenance and reconstruction by offering solutions that are less energy intensive and generate minimum or no waste. This helps highway authorities and other clients to meet carbon reduction obligations.
In addition, processes containing bitumen emulsions provide waterproof highway structures and offer considerable cost economies that enable national and local highway authorities and other clients to get best value for their pressurised budgets.
