PHALANX


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.

All About Crumb Rubber for Asphalt Mix Design

Asphalt technology is constantly evolving, and one of the most sustainable and performance-enhancing innovations has been the introduction of crumb rubber into mix designs. Derived from recycled tires, crumb rubber can be integrated into asphalt mixtures to improve durability, flexibility, and resistance to high temperatures.     With proper mix design and additive support, crumb rubber asphalt (CRA) extends roadway lifespans while promoting environmental sustainability by [...]

How Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) Improves Worker Safety

Warm mix asphalt (WMA) has become widely known for its sustainability benefits such as reduced fuel consumption, lower emissions, and a smaller carbon footprint. But an equally important aspect of WMA use that is often overlooked is how WMA can make paving jobs safer and more comfortable for the asphalt crews. By lowering production and compaction temperatures, warm mix asphalt can reduce worker exposure to fumes, heat stress, and other [...]

The Role of Asphalt Additives in Roadway Paving

Asphalt continues as a cornerstone of road construction globally, with 90% of roads paved globally using asphalt. As infrastructure demands accelerate, environmental standards are also on the rise. However, traditional asphalt comprised of only bitumen and aggregate often falls short of modern expectations for performance, durability, and sustainability.     Asphalt additives are purpose-designed materials that can elevate pavement [...]

Balancing Asphalt Performance and Sustainability with Warm Mix Additives

Paving industry professionals are increasingly struggling to address two critical priorities: enhancing roadway performance and meeting sustainability goals. With governments, contractors, and material producers under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, technologies that support energy efficiency and a lower carbon footprint are increasingly in demand.     Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) and warm mix additives have risen in [...]
