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.
Managing Viscosity in Asphalt Mixes for Improved Workability
Achieving the right asphalt workability is crucial for ensuring smooth, long-lasting roads. One of the key factors influencing workability is the viscosity in asphalt, which is a measure of its resistance to flow. Properly managing asphalt viscosity ensures mixes can be placed and compacted efficiently while minimizing aging defects such as cracking, rutting, or other deformations. Understanding [...]
