MIX temperature is dependent on the grade of asphalt used in the mix: Less viscous asphalt requires lower temperatures, while more viscous asphalt requires higher temperatures. At the start of a mix design, target temperatures are specified for proper mixing and COMPACTION. These temperatures should be adjusted for project conditions (weather, HAUL distances, etc.). If at all possible, avoid discrepancies from the mix design temperature of more than 25 degrees. Note: When working with modified BINDER, the binder SUPPLIER should provide mix temperature recommendations.
