Warm mix asphalt (WMA) technology with a biosynthetic surfactant. The biosynthetic surfactant in this WMA allows the mix to be manufactured at temperatures 60° to 90°F lower than the traditional asphalt. This reduces energy consumption by 55%, reducing carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions. This technology uses 75% more recycled material in its mix composition. Conventional asphalt paving mixes contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
