This differs depending on the method used to lower the asphalt temperature.<br><br>Miesem has a clear favourite. In conversation with us, he favours chemical additives. From our guest\u2019s point of view, these have the advantage that they modify the bitumen and the asphalt mixture well, but are later no longer noticeable in the rheology of the bitumen, i.e. in the properties of the temperature-reduced asphalt.

Whether for the better or worse, however, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these two methods for lowering the temperature, there is also foamed bitumen technology.

Temperature-reduced asphalt not only saves production costs, but also a lot of CO\u2082. Asphalt production can thus actively contribute to climate protection.<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>                                        \n                <\/div>                                              \n                    <\/div>                                \n            <\/section>\n\n<section id=\"\" class=\"text-block  space-bottom-no space-top-yes text-block-id-6aaa505e2c868 bg-color-transparent text-color-black\">                \n                \n                    <div class=\"container\">     \n                                 \n                        <div class=\"row\">                                        \n                        <div class=\"col\">\n                            <h2 class=\"text-block-headline font-normal style-1 text-left \">Better occupational safety<\/h2>\n                        <\/div>       \n                                                          \n                    <\/div>\n                               \n                                               \n                        <div class=\"row text\">\n                    <div class=\"col\">\n                        <div class=\"text-left text-block-text  text-block-html \" style=\"margin-top: 20px; \">\n                            <p class=\"wp-block-wt-text-block\">The hot processing of bitumen in road construction inevitably produces vapours and aerosols. However, these emissions can be reduced by around half if the processing temperature of the asphalt is reduced by just 10 \u00b0C. A lower asphalt temperature therefore also improves occupational safety.<\/p>\n\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>                                        \n                <\/div>                                              \n                    <\/div>                                \n            <\/section>\n\n<section id=\"\" class=\"text-block  space-bottom-no space-top-yes text-block-id-6aaa505e2c8ba bg-color-transparent text-color-black\">                \n                \n                    <div class=\"container\">     \n                                 \n                        <div class=\"row\">                                        \n                        <div class=\"col\">\n                            <h2 class=\"text-block-headline font-normal style-1 text-left \">Structural advantages of temperature-reduced asphalt<\/h2>\n                        <\/div>       \n                                                          \n                    <\/div>\n                               \n                                               \n                        <div class=\"row text\">\n                    <div class=\"col\">\n                        <div class=\"text-left text-block-text  text-block-html \" style=\"margin-top: 20px; \">\n                            <p class=\"wp-block-wt-text-block\">But TA-Asphalt has even more advantages for road builders and the client.
