The viscosity and gel strength of organic adhesive coating compositions containing an organic adhesive material, usually asphalt, and clay minerals and cationic surfactants is further enhanced by the addition of small quantities of acidic compounds which have pK.sub.A values less than about 5. The acidic compounds preferably are water soluble and contain phosphorus.

This invention is to surfactant compositions which are organic salts of a polyamine and a carboxylic acid. The polyamine has the structure: ##STR1## wherein R is (i) alkyl or alkenyl containing from about 10 to about 22 carbon atoms or (i) R'--O--CH2CH2CH2-- wherein R' is alkyl containing from about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms;
