Warm Mix Asphalt Additives

Arkema’s AD-here^®, WarmGrip^® and Cecabase^® RT warm mix asphalt technology provides paving contractors with an asphalt compaction aid combined with an industry’s leading adhesion promoter/asphalt anti-stripping additive in one. The product lines are specifically formulated to enable the asphalt mix to be produced and compacted at lower temperatures while maintaining workability and lengthening pavement life by protecting against moisture damage.

By incorporating our warm mix asphalt additives with adhesion promoter and asphalt compaction capabilities into their mixes, paving contractors can efficiently: 

• Achieve proper mat density when ambient temperatures are cooler.                                                                  
• Pass Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) and Hamburg Wheel Tracking tests.                                                                                         
• Haul the mix longer distances without sacrificing the workability and compactibility of the mix.                                                                                                                                     
• Incorporate higher percentages of recycled/reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) into the mix.                                                                                                                                     
• Reduce fuel consumption.                                                                                                                                     
• Lower plant emissions.                                                                                                                                    
• Provide better working environments for paving crews.                                                                                                                                    
• Extend the paving season.

With Arkema’s chemical synthesis and asphalt paving application expertise, we can provide high-performance warm mix asphalt additives with adhesion promoter and asphalt compaction properties that provide clear bonding and workability advantages.
