Organo-Silane Warm Compaction Technology for Green Road (Presentation 909)

New Organo-Silane ‘Warm Compaction’ technology, apart from other green benefits, enables dropping of mixing and compaction temperatures of Hot Mixes. Although, the concept of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) has been around for a while, the available WMA technologies only talk of drop in mixing temperature and not the compaction temperature, which the new Organo-Silane technology does. It is therefore prudent to call this technology, a ‘Warm Compaction’ technology.
This paper presents the summary of laboratory studies made at Braunschweig University, Germany to assess coating efficiency of this ‘Warm Compaction’ technology at different mixing and compaction temperatures.
