Product Gallery: Sripath Technologies Launches PHALANX® Warm-Mix Additive

Sripath Technologies®, Mahwah, New Jersey, recently introduced PHALANX®, a warm-mix additive designed to lower both production and compaction temperatures for warm-mix asphalt (WMA) applications while improving mix compactability at lower temperatures. PHALANX can be used with a variety of asphalt mixes, including polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) mixes, helping contractors potentially lower their overall carbon footprint, reduce energy consumption and reduce costs.

PHALANX is a specially engineered surface-active agent that improves wettability and acts as a lubricant in the mix, serving to better coat the aggregate in a mix. Highly dosage efficient, independent testing has demonstrated that only 0.25 to 0.5% of PHALANX is needed to improve compactability at paving temperatures as low as 239°F (115°C). PHALANX may also help lower energy consumption used during production, transportation and paving of an asphalt mix.

“PHALANX demonstrates that performance and sustainability can go hand in hand when adopting a warm mix technology,” said Krishna Srinivasan, president of Sripath Technologies. “With environmental concerns leading many conversations in the asphalt industry, PHALANX provides contractors with an opportunity to deliver critical performance specifications and achieve their environmental goals.”

As contractors explore ways to achieve net zero emissions goals, PHALANX may help them lower their greenhouse gas emissions. The warm-mix additive lowers the temperatures required for mix production and compaction while also helping to increase haul distances, open larger production windows and extend the paving season into cooler months.

PHALANX, the latest addition to Sripath’s product portfolio, has been successfully utilized as a warm-mix additive on roadways around the world. The product can be used alongside other additives from Sripath’s portfolio.
