  • The Astec warm mix system achieves a lower temperature at a lower cost by eliminating the need for additives or special asphalt cement
  • Instead, the Astec warm mix system injects a small amount of water into the liquid AC to create microscopic steam bubbles
  • These small bubbles act to reduce the viscosity of the liquid AC, allowing the mix to be worked at lower temperatures
