Advantages of Lower Temperatures
• Lower fumes and emissions
• Lower energy consumption
• Lower plant wear
• Decreased binder aging
• Early site opening
• Cool weather paving
• Compaction aid for stiff mixes
• Improved working conditions

Goals for Warm Mix Asphalt
• Use existing Hot Mix Asphalt plants
• To meet existing standards for Hot MixAsphalt specifications
• Focus on dense graded mixes forwearing courses
• WMA quality = Hot Mix Asphalt quality

Warm Asphalt Mixes by adding
aspha-min®, a synthetic zeolite
![Page 9: Warm Mix Asphalt - Transportation.orgsp.construction.transportation.org/Documents/Newcomb-WarmMixAsphalt.pdfBitumen Additive How organic additives work. ... paraffin 50/70 + 4 % FT-paraffin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5e8e60e294c7bd15f05a073b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Aspha-Min®
• Zeolites
– Framework silicates have vacant spaces in
their structures that can trap water
• Spaces interconnected forming long widechannels
– Can lose and absorb water without damage to crystal structures
• The trapped water is driven off by heat
![Page 10: Warm Mix Asphalt - Transportation.orgsp.construction.transportation.org/Documents/Newcomb-WarmMixAsphalt.pdfBitumen Additive How organic additives work. ... paraffin 50/70 + 4 % FT-paraffin](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081521/5e8e60e294c7bd15f05a073b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Aspha-Min®
• Add 0.3 percent by mass to mix
– Water is released at high temperatures
• 185 to 360o F
• Foams the asphalt
– Reduces viscosity
• Reported by Eurovia
– 54o F reduction
– Fuel savings of 30% Aspha-Min® is a fine white powder
