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.
Video: What are Warm Mix Additives for Asphalt?
Warm mix additives, or WMAs, enable asphalt production and compaction at lower temperatures than traditional hot mixes.  Warm mix additives are believed to work by lowering the binder’s viscosity and improving the lubrication around aggregates in an asphalt mix. WMAs can make it easier to manufacture, transport, and compact a mix at lower temperatures. In fact, temperatures [...]
