hot-mix
Warm road material
Hot-mix refers to asphalt pavement material that must be heated during production and application.
The aggregate and binder are combined at high temperatures, then laid while still hot: The crew spread hot-mix on the freshly graded road.
The term distinguishes this standard paving method from cold-mix alternatives that can be applied at ambient temperatures.
