The Many Benefits of Warm Mix Asphalt You’ve heard of cold mix and hot mix. Now with the advent of warm mix, we are able to gain the full benefit of hot mix but at a reduced production and placement temperature. There are many benefits to reducing the production and placement temperatures while maintaining the quality of the asphalt pavement. Here’s information about
