Era® 140

A warm mix asphalt (WMA) solution designed to reduce carbon emissions, improve efficiencies, reduce disruption and improve contractor health and safety.

Heidelberg Materials Era 140 WMA incorporates a specialist bitumen that allows asphalt to be produced at a reduced temperature (up to 40 degrees lower) than conventional hot mix asphalt. This uses less energy, helping to cut the CO₂ emissions associated with asphalt production by up to 15 per cent.

Benefits:

• Carbon reduction: typically up to 15% reduction in asphalt production emissions, resulting in an average 2.4kg CO₂e saving per tonne of asphalt, compared with standard hot mix asphalt.
• Faster completion of resurfacing work, increasing efficiency and resulting in less disruption for road users.
• Improved workability.
• Reduction in thermal ageing process.
• Enhances durability due to reduced oxidisation during manufacture.
• Allows recycled content.
• Improves health and safety for work force: less fumes and steam are created, improving air quality and visibility; risk of burns lessened.
• Can be used to produce the majority of Heidelberg Materials asphalt products.
• 100% recyclable.
• Laid using conventional asphalt paving equipment.
• Available from Heidelberg Materials asphalt plants across the country.
• Technical advice and support service available.

Applications

• Motorways and major roads
