Evotherm® is easy to use, has proven performance across the globe, and saves money. But these three hallmark benefits are just part of the reason the Evotherm family of products are recognized as the world’s leading warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology. In the past decade, we’ve used enough Evotherm on projects to pave to the moon and begin the journey back to earth.
Easy to use
Evotherm promotes adhesion by acting as both a liquid antistrip and a WMA. It can replace lime with an easy-to-handle, pumpable liquid. Evotherm may be added at the mix plant or at the asphalt terminal. Once Evotherm is mixed into the binder, production temperatures can be lowered by up to 90 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than conventional hot mix asphalt.
Proven performance
Contractors have paved over 300,000 miles of Evotherm around the world on all types of asphalt pavements. A National Center for Asphalt Technology evaluation of pavements including Evotherm as an additive between 2005 to 2012 demonstrated the roads’ ability to withstand over 20 million equivalent single axle loads with less than one-eighth inch of rutting.
Extends the paving season
Evotherm can significantly extend the paving season, especially in colder climates. Traditional hot mix asphalt (HMA) becomes too brittle and difficult to compact in cold weather, leading to poor pavement quality. But adding Evotherm to an asphalt mix helps maintain the workability and compactability of the mix, ensuring that high-quality pavement can still be achieved even when temperatures drop.
