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 Additives for Asphalt – Frequently Asked Questions
Warm mix additives for asphalt (WMAs) may be newer to the paving industry, but they are becoming increasingly important as contractors look to achieve density and smoothness of roadway surfaces while also meeting sustainability standards. These additives can help agencies achieve reduced emissions onsite and aid material compaction for potentially higher performing roads. Key to the process is [...]
