What does the SonneWarmix additives do for you ?

Lower temperatures at the plant and job site—by 50+ F

degrees

Allow high %’s of RAP and RAS which is an additional cost

savings

Increase your haul times

Start up your season early or extend your season

Use as a compaction aid with GTR or PMA mix-designs

Easy to use—it is already pre mixed in the liquid binder—

which mean no additional equipment required

Easier hand work as the mix design is much more

workable with our additives

Lower emissions and an environmentally safer workplace
