ReLIXER

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: The safety and environmental impact of an asphalt recycling agent should be considered when selecting a rejuvenator or recycling agent. An effective rejuvenator will not only meet performance specifications but also consider worker safety and exposure issues and help reduce carbon emissions. These considerations include whether the material contains volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, [...]

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: To use high amounts of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement along with an effective rejuvenator, plant and quality managers need to make changes to how they process their materials.   While RAP has historically been perceived as a waste product, plants should treat it with the same care given to other input raw materials. Fractionated and homogenized [...]

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: Overall mix cost is a critical component when designing a balanced mix that also meets performance and sustainability requirements. Importantly, high-RAP mixes have been shown to demonstrate cost savings in research conducted by the National Asphalt Pavement Association. According to NAPA data, using RAP has already resulted in $3.4 billion in savings on material [...]

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: Balanced mix design that incorporates Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement dosed with a rejuvenator should consider adherence to performance properties both now and many years after wear and weathering. Testing should include an evaluation of how the aging process impacts these mixes to ensure durability and long-term performance.   Simulated aging tests for measures of the Cracking [...]
