With increasing concerns of global warming and rising emissions, the asphalt industry is making a constant effort to lower the mixing and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixture without affecting the mix properties. Several proprietary chemicals are available in the industry that can help reduce the mixing and compaction temperatures. A significant reduction of required heat can be achieved in most cases. While some studies have been conducted to evaluate the properties of warm mix asphalt; properties of binders and mixtures, in fresh and aged conditions, containing these...
