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.
Warm Mix Asphalt Supports Better Jobsite Working Conditions
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) has been the undisputed standard of the paving industry for decades. However, as the construction sector evolves toward greater sustainability, operational efficiency, and enhanced occupational health and safety, warm mix asphalt (WMA) has rapidly transformed from a niche alternative into a mainstream necessity. While the industry frequently praises WMA for asphalt applications due to its environmental benefits (specifically lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon [...]
