• Azalt® ECO2 binders are especially designed for the manufacturing of
warm mix asphalts
• As any binder of our Azalt® range, Azalt® ECO2 binders meet the
requirements of EN 12 591 (Bitumen and bituminous binders -
Specifications for paving grade bitumens)
• Warm mixes manufactured with Azalt® ECO2 binder show as good
mechanical performances as those of hot mixes and are consequently
recommended for the same laying applications :
– base course
– binder course
– surface course

WHY CHANGE FOR AN AZALT® ECO2 BINDER? CONTRACTORS & MIXING PLANT MANAGERS
• Azalt® ECO2 binders are « ready to use »
bituminous binders for warm mix asphalt
– No modification of asphalt plant process needed
• Zero investment
• No additional costs for maintenance
– No modification of mixes formula
• Compatible with a wide range of mixes formulas
and laying settings: base, binder and surface
layers, reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) content
up to 50 %, different kinds of aggregates
• No extra laboratory work needed on mixes recipes
– Handling similar to a conventional penetration grade
• No specific training needed for staff

• Azalt® ECO2 solution consists in a specific product formulation reducing handling temperatures up to 40 °C:
– on the road, at laying and compacting
• Quicker linking between laying of the successive courses
» Saving in time, improved productivity
• No fumes
» Relevant solution for works in confine environment (tunnels, car parks)
» Working conditions improvement for laying staff
• Lower perceived temperature
» Working conditions improvement for laying staff
– at the mixing plant, for manufacturing
• reduction of energy consumption of the mixing plant (up to 35 %)
» Improved productivity and competitiveness
• reduction of gaseous organic compounds (up to 47 %)
» mitigation of olfactory impact of the mixing plant
» contribution to conformity

Azalt® ECO² - Solutions for warm mix asphalts - ENG - 2014 10
• Azalt® ECO2 binders meet the requirements of EN 12 591
– Equivalent performances (compacity, water sensitivity, rutting) to
those of a hot mix with conventional penetration grade
• Sustainable and successful solution
• Azalt® ECO2 solution consists in a specific product
formulation reducing manufacturing and handling (laying,
compacting) temperatures up to 40 °C
– Quicker linking between installation of the successive layers
• Saving in time, improved productivity
– Earlier re-opening to traffic
• Reduced disruption to the travelling public
WHY CHANGE FOR AN AZALT® ECO2 BINDER? MANAGEMENT & INSTALLATION STAFF
• Azalt® ECO2 binders consist in a
specific product formulation reducing
up to 40 °C:
– installation temperatures (laying and
compacting)
• No fumes
• Lower perceived temperature
» Working conditions improvement for
laying staff
– manufacturing temperatures (at the mixing
plant)
• reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG)
emissions (up to 30 %)
» Contribution to the environmental
commitments of management

HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS
Azalt® ECO² - Solutions for warm mix asphalts - ENG - 2014 12
HANDLING RECOMMENDATIONS
• For Azalt® ECO2 binders storage:
– Storage tank: empty entirely the tank before the
first discharge
– Storage temperature: equivalent to that of a
conventional equivalent penetration grade
– Storage duration: Azalt® ECO2 binders will remain
stable up to 15 days if bitumen storage best
practises are followed
• Handling of Azalt® ECO2 binders at the mixing
plant doesn’t require any equipments
modification
– Regular fonctioning of mixing plant equipments, at
a mixing temperature lowered up to 40 °C
