ValoWax CRH is an innovative additive developed to optimize the production of warm mix asphalt (WMA). This vegetable wax-based product improves the workability of the final mixture while lowering the production and compaction temperatures of asphalt mixtures, providing significant energy savings and reducing environmental impact.

One of the key benefits of this additive is its ability to improve workability without modifying the final performance of the binder. The wax was developed for hand-applied mixes to ease the work for the users and avoid physical injury.

Additionally, ValoWax CRH ensures that your asphalt mix remains workable over a longer working time, helping to overcome various transport problems: worksites far from the production site, traffic jams, cold outside temperatures, etc. This reduces the amount of asphalt residues that cannot be used due to cooling and means that less waste must be processed.

Finally, ValoWax CRH is compatible with a wide range of asphalt binders and can be seamlessly integrated into existing produc tion processes. This versatility allows for easy implementation across different types of projects, from highways to urban roadways, whether near or far from the asphalt mixing plant, without the need for significant modifications to equipment or procedures.
