WHAT IS
WARM MIX ASPHALT (WMA)?
WMA is asphalt mix technology suitable for use
with :
conventional hot mix aggregates & binders;
continuous & batch mix production plants;
common hauling, paving, & compaction
equipment; and
standard HMA mix design & testing methods.
WHAT IS
WARM MIX ASPHALT (WMA)?
WMA is asphalt mix technology that :
allows asphalt mix production at temperatures 85
to 100 F (30 to 50 C) below HMA production &
construction temperatures,
while delivering the same or better performance
properties as conventional hot mix asphalt
(HMA)
