The benefits of Ingevity’s (NYSE:NGVT) Evotherm® warm-mix
asphalt technology are highlighted in a recently released video
about Gerken Companies’ successful paving of the airport runway on
North Bass Island, a secluded 700-acre island off the coast of Ohio
that maintains a single airstrip essential to serving inhabitants.
In contrast to traditional hot-mix asphalt that tends to cool and
harden quickly inside haul trucks or during the paving process,
adding Evotherm to the mixture allows reduced paving temperatures
by up to 100 degrees while simultaneously making it easier to apply
and meet specifications.

The video features representatives from the Gerken Companies and
Ingevity and demonstrates the value of Evotherm in paving airport
runway, taxiway and apron projects worldwide due to its unique
ability to keep asphalt mixture temperatures consistently warm and
maintain workability of the mix even when traveling long distances.
This means customers can pave hard-to-reach locations, boost the
productivity of their crews, and meet or exceed project
specifications.
“We chose Evotherm as a sort of insurance policy for the long
haul,” explained Jim Shoemaker, quality control manager at Gerken.
“The specification on the project involved a percent-within-limits
specification, meaning we received a bonus for how closely inside
the density requirements our actual measurements were. Warm-mix was
the only way we could maintain consistent temperatures in the
trucks and still lay it down easily after the long journey.”
