Warm mix asphalt is paving mix that can be produced and compacted at lower temperatures than traditional hot mix asphalt materials for roadway development. This may result in reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) and asphalt emissions through lower operational temperature requirements at the plant and at the job site. PHALANX®, a specially engineered warm mix additive, is designed to improve compactability of hot asphalt mixes and Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) mixes. It helps reduce the paving temperature when laying down a roadway. PHALANX helps lower the carbon footprint, reduce energy consumption, and deliver overall cost savings.
Sustainable Bitumen Additives to Extend Asphalt Lifespan
Sustainability may be one of the defining priorities in pavement and roofing construction. Governments, producers, contractors, and asset owners are all under pressure to reduce emissions, conserve resources, and improve the long-term environmental performance of infrastructure. However, one misconception still persists throughout the industry: that sustainable solutions require sacrificing cost, durability, or long-term performance. Advances in asphalt chemistry are proving the opposite. Sustainable bitumen additives are helping producers create [...]
