Product overview

Asphalt rejuvenator is an additive system that restores the rheological balance of aged bitumen recovered from reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). The formulation supported by FangService adopts a 3-in-1 approach - it works simultaneously as a warm-mix agent, a performance modifier and a chemical rejuvenator - so that recycled mixes can reach high RAP incorporation without sacrificing workability or long-term durability.

The mechanism rests on molecular de-crystallization and chemical regeneration: targeted agents cleave and depolymerize the brittle oxidized fractions of aged bitumen, while a steric-hindrance resin suppresses re-crystallization and keeps the regenerated binder stable; a latent reactive component then builds a three-dimensional cross-linked network that reinforces the mix structure at medium mixing temperatures of 120-140 C.

Key advantages

High RAP incorporation>=60% reclaimed asphalt reuse as standard, up to 100% in trials, conserving virgin bitumen and aggregate and reducing quarry demand.
Lower temperature and carbonMixing at 120-140 C instead of 170-190 C cuts fuel and energy use by about 30% and lowers process emissions.
Restored and stabilized performanceFatigue life reaches >=85% of virgin asphalt; the steric-hindrance resin prevents re-crystallization so rejuvenated binder stays stable in storage and service.
Cost-efficient and plant-friendlyComprehensive cost is 25%-40% lower than conventional hot mix, and the additive works with standard asphalt plants without major retrofit.

Applications

Highway rehabilitation and mill-and-overlay, urban and arterial road resurfacing, airport aprons and taxiways, port and industrial yards, rural road upgrading, and both central-plant and in-place (cold / hot) recycling campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an asphalt rejuvenator and how is it different from a recycling agent?

A rejuvenator restores the chemical balance of aged bitumen by replenishing the light fractions and reversing oxidation-driven hardening, whereas a plain recycling agent mainly softens the binder. This 3-in-1 system also adds warm-mix and modification functions in one product.

How much RAP can be incorporated?

Typically >=60% reclaimed asphalt pavement by mass, with trials reaching up to 100% RAP while maintaining workability and fatigue performance.

Does it require special plant equipment?

No major retrofit. The liquid concentrate is dosed into the existing mixing line; medium-temperature mixing at 120-140 C is compatible with standard asphalt plants.

What mixing temperature does it need?

Target 120-140 C, roughly 30-50 C below conventional hot-mix temperatures, which reduces fuel consumption by about 30%.
