Direct or reverse bitumen emulsion, stabilized, comprising: - a bituminous phase; - an aqueous phase, one of said phases being dispersed in the form of discontinuous droplets in a continuous phase of the other, said droplets having a determined median diameter chosen from the range from 1 m to 5mm, the log standard deviation (s) of the droplet size distribution or the dispersion (p) being equal to or less than 0.20; and- 2 to 40% by weight, based on the total weight of the emulsion, of a solid inorganic material having a particle size ranging from 10 nm to 5 m, the median diameter of the droplets of the dispersed phase being determined by the amount of solid mineral material present in the emulsion. |
