ReLIXER Archives

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.

Video: How can an ideal asphalt rejuvenator be evaluated?

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: As Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement becomes more commonplace in roadway development, standards are high for rejuvenators. To evaluate the efficacy of a particular recycling agent, multiple factors must be considered. Effective asphalt rejuvenators should restore the properties of aged bitumen, aiding with functional characteristics such as properties, compaction, stiffness, and durability. To best use a [...]

Video: How Have Asphalt Recycling Agents Evolved?

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: When using Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement in mixes was first introduced, the common belief was that the only modification needed was to soften the binder before adding RAP to a mix. However, research has demonstrated that while viscosity is an important property to consider, additional functional characteristics need to be restored for the resulting roadway [...]

Video: Why are Asphalt Rejuvenators Necessary for Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Mixes?

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement is sourced from older, weathered, and worn roadway surfaces. Because of this, the materials in the RAP, particularly the bitumen, age and lose some of their chemical and physical properties. As the binder oxidizes over time, the material can become brittle. This is what causes the roadway performance to fail. To [...]
