Product Information Sheet Lafarge Asphalt is committed to being the leading developer and supplier in North America of innovative asphalt products designed to optimize quality, performance, durability and sustainability. Duraclime uses warm mix asphalt technology to enable the production of asphalt mixes at reduced temperatures, while also incorporating higher levels of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and Asphalt Shingle Modifier (ASM). FOAM NOZZLE Product Overview Mixed at lower temperatures, DuraClime reduces emissions, fuel consumption, smoke and odors during the manufacturing process. This improves the comfort, safety and working environment of workers during the construction operations. Residents in local communities and the traveling public notice the improved air quality near asphalt plants and paving sites. A 10% to 25% reduction in the carbon footprint has been determined with the process. With widespread implementation at all asphalt plants in North America, this reduction is equivalent to removing the emissions from 200,000 to 500,000 cars per year.
