Waterborne, spray-applied, bio-based Revive SA revives oxidized asphalt pavement and improves long-term durability.

Aggressively fights the effects from long-term aging of existing asphalt pavement through its unique chemistry-driven reversal of oxidative embrittlement
Delivered as a deliberate distribution of micron-sized particles small enough to travel throughout the entire top inch of the pavement’s pore structure. Once that unprecedented depth of penetration is achieved, the particles react with the aged asphalt binder to extend pavement life and appearance. Traffic can resume one hour after application in typical weather conditions
Invigorate Revive SA is currently being tested across the country on state Department of Transportation projects through the National Road Research Alliance (NRRA)
Key performance gauges are permeability, binder rheology, friction and dry time

How To Make Pavement Cooler Through Reflectivity

Conventional dark pavements contribute to urban heat islands as they absorb 80–95% of sunlight and warm the local air. Cool pavements are made with different materials to increase albedo, thereby reducing heat transfer to the surface.

Asphalt Testing Solutions & Engineering are analyzing both control and treated core samples. Additional core samples will be taken and studied over the next two years.

Cargill uses its Anova rejuvenator on its own corporate campus in Minnesota.

Eventually, pavements breakdown beyond the point in which a surface rejuvenator can be used and the road must be resurfaced or rebuilt. This leads to an oversupply of milled asphalt. Using a rejuvenator in the mix provides an opportunity to utilize the RAP and increases its value to the road builder.

What are Pavement Rejuvenators & Why are they Important?

The industry is working hard to find ways to reverse the impact of aging on asphalt performance while also increasing sustainability
