Specially engineered to produce quality pavements at lower temperatures, warm mix asphalt is your desired choice.
Lower temperatures provide significant conservation and environmental advantages including reduced emissions both at the plant and the job-site, improved service life, improved workability, longer paving windows, and enhanced recycling—all key to quality pavements, smoother roadways, and a sustainable paving industry.

Reduced Plant Emissions
The warm mix production process significantly reduces emissions both in and around the production plant.
Warm mix emits 10-15% less greenhouse gasses over traditional processes while reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) up to 50%. Cooler mixes help improve the environment at the job-site as well.
Improved On-Site Air Quality
The cooler temperature of warm mix provides reduced emissions during the transportation and lay-down process.
Studies show emissions may be decreased by a factor of 2 for every 50° F in temperature; warm mixes reduce emissions by as much as 30 -50%. This translates directly into an improved air-quality for your workers and the public. Overall, warm mix reduces both heat and emissions, ensuring a higher level of comfort for your workers and an improved construction environment.
Increased Service Life
By design, warm mix maintains workability at lower temperatures while providing improved performance over traditional materials.
Lower production temperatures result in binders that are less aged and less susceptible to low temperature cracking, all of which contribute to improved service life, greater durability, and a richer, darker look to your job.
Improved Workability, Longer Hauls, and Colder Weather Applications
The warm mix workability results in an overall improvement to compaction.
Reduced temperatures also afford longer hauls. Paving in colder weather is now a possibility with warm mix. As a whole, warm mix provides new flexibility- longer hauls, night-work, and cooler weather- all the while maintaining and improving upon pavement performance.
Enhanced Recycled Content
More than ever, sustainable development has made the use of recycled materials paramount.
Warm mix’s reduced binder aging enhances and facilitates recycling. Using Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) as a component, warm mixes embrace recycling. Warm mix provides your project the eligibility to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits for Recycled Content from the U.S. Green Building Council.
