During the laydown operations, thermal images were taken of the three mixtures (Figures 12 & 13). These images can be used to detect thermal segregation in the windrow or in the placed mat.

From a review of these images, both of the warm mixes exhibited a more uniform temperature in the placed mat than the control hot mix. This is potentially an advantage of using these particular warm mix additives because they provided a more uniform product upon remixing and laydown.
