A brand of
Attack aged binder at the molecular level.This new soybean oil-derived additive triggers chemical reactions inside reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) to break down asphaltene aggregation in aged binder and reverse the effects of oxidation in the final mix.
Unlike other rejuvenators that only offer a superficial change in the viscosity of stiff binder, Invigorate® uses technology developed at Iowa State University to improve the chemical properties of lower quality binders. That’s how this sustainable solution actually addresses the aged elements within recycled asphalt to restore flexibility and extend service life.
Increase critical performance temperature
range.
Improve high- and low-temperature
performance grade.
Allow for higher RAP contents
without age-old drawbacks.
Enhance effects of polymer
incorporation in binder.
Rejuvenate on molecular level to create better
binder.
Elevate your mix design with
Better binder by every measure. Demonstration project in Indiana.Invigorate is already in the mix around the Midwest. The data in the charts below illustrate the fact that mixes with 40% RAP + Invigorate will outperform mixes with 25% RAP + no rejuvenator.
“We have seen that Invigorate additive chemically interlinks the aged and virgin bitumen in an effective manner. At the same time, a high proportion of reclaimed asphalt still allows excellent homogeneity and processability of the mixture.”
