Additives for hot, warm, and recycling asphalt mixes are designed to optimize processing conditions, improve workability, and enhance the performance of bitumen based mixtures across different production technologies. We offer process additives like: thixotropic agents, breaking control additives, adhesion promoters, defoamers, rheology modifiers, dispersing agents, and flow improvers from BYK.
In hot mix asphalt (HMA), these additives act as dispersants and flow improvers, ensuring efficient coating of aggregates, better distribution of fillers, and consistent mixing at high temperatures. For warm mix asphalt (WMA), BYK additives help reduce viscosity and enable lower production and compaction temperatures, which translates into energy savings, reduced emissions, and improved working conditions on-site. In recycling applications, including mixes with reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), these additives support the integration of aged and virgin binders by improving compatibility, dispersion, and overall homogeneity of the mix.
Across all applications, BYK’s process additives contribute to more stable production, easier handling, and enhanced durability of the final pavement, making them a valuable component in modern, efficient, and sustainable road construction systems.
