This invention relates to the production of asphalt mixtures by a specific preparation process consisting in using a bituminous composition that has been stored for a given period of time, said bituminous composition comprising at least one bitumen and at least one additive that allows asphalt mixture production at reduced temperatures. The process of the present invention significantly enhances the performance of such additives, making the asphalt mixture easier to lay off and compact. n The invention also relates to applications for the production of asphalts mixtures with mineral aggregates used in waterproofing, construction or maintenance of sidewalks, roads, highways, parking lots or airport runaways and service roads as well as any rolling surfaces. |
