Warm mix asphalt (WMA) allows for reduced mixing and paving temperatures, resulting in lower fuel consumption and carbon emissions. It has been successfully used in Europe for over a decade and is now implemented in over 40 U.S. states, offering improved working conditions for laborers and cost-effectiveness in road construction. Zydex Industries, established in 1997, focuses on sustainable innovations across various sectors, including road construction.

Things to Know about
Warm Mix Asphalt

3. 1-800-3000-7144 zydexindustries.com info@zydexindustries.com
• Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a variant of the
asphalt mixes that allow to reduce the mixing
and paving temperature, by 200C – 400C lower
than the Hot Mix Asphalt.
• Warm-mix asphalt has been used successfully
in Europe for more than 10 years.
• In the United States, WMA projects are now in
more than 40 States.

Following are some of the benefits of Warm
Mix Asphalt that has promoted the increased
usage of WMA for road construction:

 Lower temperatures of the asphalt mix implies the reduction in the fuel
required.
 The lower temperature required for heating inadvertently reduces the carbon
emissions released in to the ozone.
 The reduced fumes/emissions offers better working conditions for the asphalt
workers while paving, as workers inhale less smoke and dust, especially in closed
spaces like tunnels where ventilation is comparatively lesser.
Environmental Impact

 Warm Mix Asphalt is far more cost effective as compared to the hot mix with
virtually identical results.
 It can also be easily transportable from the plant to the construction site, which
reduces the efforts and saves the time by facilitating easier laying.
 Faster cooling of WMA reduces the construction time, which in turn saves the
cost as the men and machinery are required for a shorter time span.
