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: What are the steps for processing Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) for a mix?

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: Asphalt mixes incorporating RAP should be evaluated for key performance specifications. To do this, samples from the fractionated RAP stockpiles are taken to a lab for analysis. Determining the amount of RAP viable in a balanced mix design will depend on the established mix specifications. Typically, by using a blend from different fractionated particle [...]

Sustainability in Asphalt with Sripath Additives That Support a Reduced Carbon Footprint

Traditional methods and materials for roadway development may be here to stay, but the advent of sustainably produced additives that may support contractor and department of transportation goals to lower their carbon emissions are much newer to the industry. Newer still is the perspective that asphalt and bitumen additives can be produced with a lower carbon footprint, helping [...]

Video: How is reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) processed for reuse? ( Cloned )

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: To recycle RAP into new roadway surfaces as an eco-friendly alternative, the material must be processed into a more uniform product. First, the material is screened to remove foreign matter. Then, the remaining aggregate is crushed into smaller particles, often broken down from larger blocks sourced from a job site. Next, the aggregate is [...]

Video: Where does reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) come from?

TRANSCRIPT FROM VIDEO: Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement, or RAP, comes from the material removed during a roadway resurfacing. Most RAP is produced by milling the top two inches of the road’s wearing course to prepare the surface for new paving material installation or, in the case of full-depth reclamation, over 8 to 10 inches of roadway material. RAP [...]
