What does the SonneWarmix additives do for you ?
Lower temperatures at the plant and job site—by 50+ F
degrees
Allow high %’s of RAP and RAS which is an additional cost
savings
Increase your haul times
Start up your season early or extend your season
Use as a compaction aid with GTR or PMA mix-designs
Easy to use—it is already pre mixed in the liquid binder—
which mean no additional equipment required
Easier hand work as the mix design is much more
workable with our additives
Lower emissions and an environmentally safer workplace
Typical Properties:
■ Liquid at 200ºF.
■ Melt Point: 170-180ºF.
■ Color: Dark brown.

Benefits of the SonneWarmix
Does not alter PG grade of the liquid binder
Works very well to start the season early or prolong the season as it is an excellent compaction aid in colder weather
Works with multiple mix designs- RAP, RAS, PMA, GTR etc.
Goes right into the liquid binder so contractors do not require any additional steps
