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.
Examples of Sustainability in Asphalt Paving
Sustainability has become a central topic of focus across all sectors of the asphalt paving industry. Local governments and departments of transportation are considering how updated specifications can lead toward meeting broader net zero emissions goals. Producers and contractors are looking for different technologies that can help meet performance requirements while lowering their own carbon footprint and keeping [...]
