Our Warm Mix Asphalts are produced at 30–40°C lower than traditional mixes, reducing emissions and fuel use while meeting SHW Clause 908 standards, without compromising performance.
Get in touch about Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA)
Our Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) is a range of asphalt products specifically engineered to be produced at significantly lower temperatures than traditional hot mix asphalt.
While conventional hot mix asphalt is typically manufactured at temperatures between 150°C and 200°C (depending on bitumen grade), Breedon WMA incorporates specialist additives that enable production and laying at temperatures approximately 30–40°C lower. All our Warm Mix Asphalt products are supplied in accordance with Clause 908 of the Specification for Highway Works (SHW 908 WMA).
Lower production temperatures result in reduced hydrocarbon consumption and lower emissions, without compromising the performance or durability of the asphalt when compared to conventional hot mix.
Energy efficient
WMA is mixed at a significantly lower temperature which reduces fuel and energy consumption.
Reduced environmental impact
The reduction in temperature produces fewer greenhouse gases during the mixing and laying processes.
Lay in cooler weather
WMA can be laid in cooler weather meaning the asphalt laying window can be extended.
Increased workability
Breedon WMA offers improved compaction, even if after longer travel times.
Lower production temperatures
Reduced emissions
Improved workability
Enhanced worker safety
Longer haul distances possible
