WMA road bitumen is an innovative product on the Polish road construction market. The search for optimum solutions, a number of tests carried out and the commitment of our employees have resulted in the development of a product with special parameters and unique properties, thus setting a new quality in the production and use of bitumen.
The above-standard properties of WMA bitumen make it possible to produce mineral and bitumen mixtures that require improved workability due to the production method, climatic conditions or composition. Mineral and bitumen mixtures with WMA are particularly recommended for use when working in areas that are difficult to access, such as tunnels and underground car parks.
The use of WMA road bitumen is recommended for the production of the following mineral and bitumen mixtures:
Bitumen 50/70 WMA | |
Handling of samples in the laboratory | |
The handling of the samples “heating time and temperature) is specified in standard EN 12594. After heating the samples in the containers, they should be homogenised by stirring. Multiple heating of the samples should be avoided | |
Compaction temperature of samples for MMA “warm-mix” | 120 – 125°C * |
Compaction temperature of samples for MMA “hot-mix” | 135 – 140°C |
„Warm-mix” MMA industrial production | |
Recommended temperatures on WMB | |
Pumping temperature | 150 – 170°C |
The production temperature of the mineral and bitumen mixture | 130 – 150°C ** |
Recommended built in temperatures of MMA “warm-mix” | |
Optimum compaction start temperatures | min. 120°C ** |
Industrial production of “hot-mix” MMA.
MMA built in difficult climatic conditions or transported over long distances. Use of bitumen granules |
|
Pumping temperature | 160 – 170°C |
The production temperature of the mineral and bitumen mixture | 155 – 165°C |
Recommended built in temperatures of MMA “hot-mix” | |
Optimum compaction start temperatures | 145 – 155°C *** |
* depending on the planned compaction temperature at the construction site
** the degree of temperature reduction should be adapted to the atmospheric conditions (see below – recommendations for reducing process temperatures when using “warm-mix” technology)
*** depending on the type of mixture, layer thickness and climatic conditions
Information on the ingredients of the mixture for which no Safety Data Sheet is required
