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 Water Affects Asphalt Sustainability and Durability: From Pavement Performance to Energy Use
Water is one of the most persistent and underestimated forces acting on asphalt roadways. While traffic, climate, and materials all influence pavement performance, moisture often determines how long a surface lasts and how sustainable it truly is. Factors such as how water interacts with asphalt binder and aggregate and the hidden energy costs of removing moisture from aggregate or reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) piles are just the start of how water [...]
