aspha-min® as the optimizer for workability and compactibility

Aside from the classical application in the production of warm mix asphalt (WMA) aspha-min® has proven to be excellent to ensure a greater workability and a maximized compaction in hot mix asphalt.

Requirements for the quality and especially the compaction in asphalt laying have been raised constantly. Technical innovation in road construction with thin layers as well as hard and modified binders has made asphalt laying a lot more demanding for construction companies. Construction periods are getting shorter, nightly laying becomes more common. Likewise, risks to be fined for failed compaction rise. aspha-min® improves the workability and compactibility of the asphalt mix significantly. This leads to fewer problems with the targeted degree of compaction, for thin layers, demanding mixes and under adverse weather conditions. aspha-min® is extending the “window of laying“ which can be decisive under these circumstances. The workability is guaranteed down to 100 °C.

aspha-min® has proven to be particularly suitable for manual laying, e.g. laying in between tram tracks in cities, for a great workability and perfect compaction. aspha-min® also helps to maximize recycling rates in your asphalt mixes, since it enhances the workability of such asphalt.
