ReLIXER® is a specially formulated elixir of bio-based oils that rejuvenates aged bitumen when recycling and reusing high levels of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) and/or reclaimed asphalt shingles (RAS) in mixes. Sripath’s ReLIXER is the leading asphalt rejuvenator or recycling agent on the market – trusted by customers worldwide and backed by peerless technical support from our in-country agent network. An asphalt rejuvenator is an additive that can restore the functional properties of aged asphalt binder, also known as bitumen. While the benefits of high-RAP mixes are many, there are physical limitations to using large amounts of RAP. Adding an asphalt rejuvenator can restore functional performance of aged asphalt and allow for higher RAP usage, up to 100% in some cases.
How Different Bitumen Additives Unlock the Value of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement
In the past, the road construction industry viewed old, torn-up highways as a necessary waste material destined for low-grade applications or forgotten stockpiles. Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is no longer seen as waste. Instead, it is recognized as a high-performance input. However, transitioning from raw waste to premium infrastructure requires a crucial catalyst in different types of bitumen additives. The industry narrative has fundamentally shifted with the development of effective asphalt rejuvenation technology. [...]
