The Asphalt is usually am emulsion asphalt or a cutback asphalt. An emulsion asphalt is asphalt cement blended with water. Cutback asphalt is asphalt cement blended with a fuel oil, kerosene, or a naptha. The water, fuel oil, kerosene or Naphta evaporates and leaves the asphalt.
What is emulsified asphalt?
Asphalt must be liquified before it can be pumped through pipes, mixed with stone aggregates, or sprayed through nozzles. Heating is one way to liquify asphalt for construction purposes. But when asphalt cools, it becomes a semisolid material. There are other ways to liquify asphalt for construction operations. One way is to emulsify it with an emulsifying agent and water. In the emulsification process, warm asphalt is mechanically milled into very very small globules (5-10 microns and smaller) and dispersed into the water treated with emulsigying agent. The emulsifying agent keeps the asphalt globules apart from one another and suspended in the water which allows the asphalt to be used at room and cold temperatures. After the emulsified asphalt is sprayed onto a surface or mixed with aggregates the water evaporates and leaves only the asphalt residue behind to cement the aggregates together or waterproof the surface it was sprayed on.

How much does it cost to recycle asphalt shingles?
The cost to recycle asphalt shingles is rather low. Sometimes free. Your biggest cost will be the transportation cost to haul them to your local paving contractor. A cost that the contractor would have is the shredding of the shingles to make them usable in hot mix asphalt. With the percentage of asphalt binder usually around 17-18% in asphalt shingles, most paving contractors will either take them off your hands for free or buy them from you. Asphalt binder is what is left over after gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and other volatiles are distilled off of crude oil. With the rising oil prices, all asphalt paving contractors are looking for ways to increase the amount of recycled asphalt pavement or shingles they use in their mix designs. I am in the Asphalt Recycling business as we speak. I am involved with this through out the U.S. and the answer above is wrong. No one in the U.S. is paying for asphalt shingles at this time! You will receive a discounted tipping fee at the asphalt shingle recycling center. I was just at the National Asphalt conference in Chicago, were everyone who is someone in the asphalt business, or is associated with the Asphalt Recycling end were at. There is no talk of the Asphalt producers paying for them because part of the business plan is to collect those fees. Paying for asphalt shingles to be dumped at your site is about 10-20 years away.
