WARM MIX ASPHALT

®

Easy to UseNew systems at Axeon Specialty Products’ asphalt terminals add and blendEvotherm® into conventional asphalt, and the warm mix asphalt binder can then be taken to the asphalt mix plant ready to use with ZERO capital investment for the contractor:• No equipment to buy, install, calibrate, or

maintain.• No plant labor cost to blend the additive

into the asphalt at the mix plant.• No inventory that requires tracking and

ordering.• No special procedures are needed.

Once the Evotherm® is mixed into the binder, simply produce. Evotherm®

can be used in any type of mix plant and is compatible with any grade of liquid asphalt.

Proven PerformanceEvotherm® has performed successfully in hundreds of projects spanning the globe on all types of asphalt pavements, including heavily traveled interstates. Evotherm® has been on the US National Center for Asphalt Technology Pavement Test Track since 2005. On the test track, Evotherm® has demonstrated proven results – pavements that can stand up to the equivalent of 10 – 15 years of heavy truck traffic, barely registering a dent. Evotherm® test track sections have endured more than 20 million ESALs with less than 1/8” of rutting.

Axeon Specialty Products’ warm mix asphalt, featuring water-free warm mix additive Evotherm®, offers new advantages to asphalt contractors and road building engineers looking for innovative warm mix alternatives.

New alternatives. New advantages.No new equipment or capital investment.

Not all warm mix technologies are created equally. Evotherm® produces warm mix asphalt at temperatures 50-100ºF lower than conventional hot mix asphalt with workability that paving crews will appreciate.

Easy to use. Proven performance. Lowest temperatures.

WARM MIX ASPHALT made with Evotherm®

Lower TemperaturesWhat differentiates Evotherm® from other technologies is the ability to produce and pave warm mix at low temperatures - often as much as 100ºF cooler than conventional hot mix. Reducing mix temperatures directly impacts many performance properties. Compared to other warm mix technologies, paving with Evotherm® will significantly increase RAP utilization, haul distances, paving seasons, and pavement service life. Additionally, the low temperatures made possible with Evotherm® dramatically decrease fuel consumption and emissions. Evotherm® has consistently documented energy and emissions reductions from 30-60%...savings that go right to your bottom line.

Worker safety & job-site emissionsby lowering pavement placement temperatures, the jobsite becomes a more comfortable, odor-free working environment, which increases worker productivity and decreases worker fatigue. Paving with Evotherm® technology eliminates the emissions for which asphalt paving is most scrutinized.

Improved workability over hot mixPolymer-modified Asphalt (PmA) mixes, high Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) mixes, and Recycled Asphalt Shingle (RAS) mixes present challenges to paving crews performing hand work. Our mix is easily shoveled and raked at temperatures as low as 230°F. handwork areas have a smooth and uniform appearance after compaction. With Evotherm®, warm mix does not need to be relegated to main-line paving. Parking lots and driveways are ideal uses for warm mix asphalt made with Evotherm®.

Greenhouse gas emissions & fuel savingsFuel savings are a direct benefit to a contractor’s bottom line, and emissions reductions benefit more than the environment. depending on a mix plant’s annual permitted stack emission cap, the reduced fuel usage and emissions can allow them to produce more tons of mix per year.

Easier compactionmixes made with Evotherm® consistently achieve roadway densities more easily than conventional hot mix asphalt (hmA). Even difficult to compact materials, such as polymer modified asphalts and coarse mixes, are easier to compact at lower temperatures using Evotherm®. better compaction means bonuses are easier to attain.

Realize the benefits of Axeon Specialty Products’ Warm mix Asphalt made With Evotherm®

Extended hauls & paving seasonEvotherm® mix temperature is much closer to ambient temperature than conventional hmA and does not lose energy as quickly. A reduced rate of heat loss, combined with improved compaction, makes Evotherm® an effective solution to cooler temperature paving and longer hauls - extending the paving season and the radius of operation for mix plants.

Less wear on hot mix plantsEvotherm®’s lower processing temperature reduces wear and tear on equipment and extends the life of capital assets.

Increased productionEvotherm® allows for increased throughput and production volumes by decreasing plant process temperatures. Running at a lower temperature reduces burner demand and allows increases in plant production rates. Contractors report productivity gains of greater than 20 percent.

Longer lasting roadsPaving with Evotherm® reduces binder aging. materials testing shows the potential for adding 7+ years of service life compared to conventional hot mix asphalt.

Protection against moisture damageEvotherm® contains a very effective anti-strip chemical additive that provides protection from moisture damage eliminating the need for other additives in your warm mix.

Increased RAP usagebecause Evotherm®-treated binders experience less oxidation than conventional mixes, our warm mix asphalt technology allows for higher usage of recycled materials without compromising performance.
