Description and Typical Applications Typical Properties*
EVOTHERM M1 is an innovative warm mix asphalt Physical form Dark amber liquid
technology that includes additives to improve coating, Density 8.051 lbs/gal
surfactants to enhance aggregate-binder adhesion, and
Specific gravity 1.00
agents to promote workability and compaction. EVOTHERM
M1 can be added at the asphalt terminal or at the mix plant Amine value (mg KOH/g) >500
and is useful for producing warm mix asphalt based on all Conductivity (S/cm) 2.2
common formulation ingredients, including modified and Dielectric constant 2 10
unmodified asphalt binders, asphalt rubber, silicate and
calcareous aggregates, and RAP materials. EVOTHERM M1 280-560 at 80F (27C)
warm mixes can be used for all pavement layers and are ideal Viscosity (centipoises) 150-300 at 100F (38C)
for dense-graded mixes, SMA mixes, OGFC mixes, polymer 80-160 at 120F (49C)
modified asphalts, ultra-thin overlays, and asphalt rubber
mixes. EVOTHERM M1 can be used with a wide variety of Recommendations for use**
asphalts and does not adversely impact the asphalt binder 0.25-0.75% by weight

The use of EVOTHERM M1 allows mix producers and
pavement contractors to realize temperature reductions of 35 Compaction temperature range >150F
to 50C (63 to 90F) compared to conventional HMA. Lower

specifications. Additionally, EVOTHERM warm mixes handle 100% coating with coarse and fine aggregate for dense-, open-,
like hot mix and give in-place performance properties meeting and gap-graded applications!
or exceeding hot mix asphalt pavement specifications. Reduces fuel consumption and stack emissions by up to 50%

EVOTHERM chemistries are tailored to meet the widely
varying demands of warm mix asphalt mixture production and
paving operations. EVOTHERM M1 meets or exceeds the
minimum amine value requirements for use as an adhesion
promoter set by many state DOTs (see typical properties
section).
Reduces fumes exposure to workers at plants and job sites!
Improves compaction for in-place density at 35-50C (63-90F)
lower temperature than HMA!
Provides exceptional moisture resistance and high TSR values

The entries above show the general corrosion rates of

EVOTHERM products. Corrosion values were determined under
static storage conditions. Material in motion in lines and pumps
can create locally higher corrosion rates, or erosive effects.
Since all metals will experience some degree of corrosion, you
must choose construction materials based on your planned
maintenance and structural integrity inspection program.
