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. PHALANXยฎ, 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.
Is Sustainable Asphalt a Reality?
Developing infrastructure remains a key focus for global departments of transportation, with conservative estimates placing new road construction projects at a value of $3.4 trillion. The global market for asphalt production is expected to reach 138 million tons by 2027. Simultaneously, 107 countries have also made pledges to pursue net-zero emissions according to the United Nations.ย ย ย At the [...]
