Invigorate Asphalt Rejuvenator from Colorbiotics is a new soybean oil-derived additive that triggers chemical reactions inside recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and stiff binders to break down asphaltene aggregation and reverse the effects of oxidation in the final mix.

Improves the chemical properties of lower-quality binders, addressing aged elements within RAP
This new technology, developed at Iowa State University, improves recyclability of asphalt while still meeting PG and performance-testing specifications
When using high percentages of RAP, Invigorate rejuvenator makes the asphalt more flexible while maintaining its durability and rut resistance
