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.
What Are Asphalt Performance Enhancers?
Road networks are under more pressure than ever. Heavier traffic loads, rising temperature extremes, tighter environmental regulations, and increased expectations for service life are all reshaping how pavements are designed and maintained. In response, the industry has increasingly turned to asphalt performance enhancers: a broad category of asphalt additives designed to improve pavement performance, extend asphalt durability, and enable more resilient, [...]
