What's your application? If you're paving a road with very little traffic, a driveway, or just doing patching, you can use cold mix. However, when it come to major roadways with high levels of traffic, it's universally going to be hot mix.
The main asphalt paving product is hot mix asphalt, in which asphalt cement is used to bind a mixture of stone, sand, and gravel.
Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of aggregate and asphalt. Cutback asphalt is a liquid asphalt. Cold Mix Asphalt is a mixture of Aggregate and Asphalt. The Asphalt is usually am emulsion asphalt or a cutback asphalt. An emulsion asphalt is asphalt cement blended with water. Cutback asphalt is asphalt cement blended with a fuel oil, kerosene, or a naptha. The water, fuel oil, kerosene or Naphta evaporates and leaves the asphalt.
PCE, or polymer-cement emulsions, were used in cold mix asphalt to enhance its performance characteristics. They improve the adhesion between aggregates and the asphalt binder, resulting in better durability and resistance to moisture damage. Additionally, PCEs can contribute to improved workability and flexibility of the cold mix, making it easier to apply and more effective for various paving applications.
give me a blowjob then i will tell u the answer.
Mix equal amount of CSS-1 emulsified asphalt with water at 30 degrees Celsius and after 15 minutes spray at 0.2 l/m2 at the surface prepared.
Between 250 and 280 is typical for hot mix.
Hot mix asphalt is is heated for application, which thins the material. Remember those steaming metal buckets you used to see on industrial rooftops? Cold asphalt is liquified with something else besides heat. There are two kinds: Emulsified asphalt is mixed with water and an emulsifying agent. Think of it like salad dressing that does not separate in the bottle. The other kind is called Cutback asphalt and is mixed with a petroleum solvent such as naptha, gasoline, or kerosene. They both are liquids at ambient temperature when applied; then the solvent or water evaporates, leaving the asphalt behind. Look up at asphaltinstitute.org
The short answer would be 1/4 to every inch.
I guess beacues you don't want to burn your self.

It is a mix at the moment...hot somedays,raining and cold the next.
To mix 1 cubic meter of asphalt concrete, start by combining aggregate (such as crushed stone or gravel), asphalt binder, and any necessary additives in a hot mix plant. The aggregates should be heated to around 150-180°C (300-350°F) to ensure proper adhesion with the binder. Once the aggregates are heated, add the asphalt binder at the appropriate temperature and mix thoroughly until a uniform consistency is achieved. Finally, the asphalt concrete can be transported to the paving site for application.
