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.
How Switching to WMA Helps Asphalt Plants Maintain Environmental Compliance
As environmental regulations continue to tighten, asphalt producers remain under growing pressure to reduce emissions, odors, and visible smoke without sacrificing mix quality or production efficiency. One of the most effective ways plants are meeting these challenges is by switching to warm mix asphalt (WMA). Beyond energy savings, WMA offers tangible compliance advantages that can directly address stack emissions, opacity limits, and neighborhood concerns, making [...]
