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.
Performance-Based Asphalt Specifications and Balanced Mix Design
Asphalt specifications provide a framework for designing and producing consistent pavement mixtures. Requirements for binder grade, aggregate properties, air voids, voids in mineral aggregate, and other volumetric characteristics give engineers measurable criteria for evaluating an asphalt mixture before it is implemented for a roadway project. Those requirements remain important. But the questions facing the asphalt industry have become more complex. Technologies like higher reclaimed [...]
