Environmental Sustainability for Your Asphalt Pavement

Rejuvenation transforms an expense to an asset. This investment in the property has been proven to save thousands of dollars by significantly extending the life of your pavement by as much as 300%. Rejuvenating the existing asphalt is an environmentally friendly alternative to milling and repaving, which has a negative effect on the environment by releasing greenhouse gasses, and leaving a carbon footprint caused by the manufacturing, transporting and the installation of the asphalt material.
Your pavement inventory is one of most critical physical assets that impact your association’s capital reserve dollars. Effective management of that pavement saves you money; every $1.00 spent on pavement preservation saves $6 to $10 dollars on future repairs and replacement.
All Rejuvenators Are Not the Same - The first two part rejuvenator was manufactured by a coal tar emulsion seal coating company about 20 years ago.
The company had
to increase the percentages of solvent used, which changed the dynamics of the rejuvenator, due to the improper amount of tar oil, (the third component) to rejuvenator. This resulted in the increase of insoluble carbon solids by 40% into the 17 to 22 range. The balance of the higher carbon solids now remains on the surface of the pavement, the same carbon solids that are plaguing the coal tar emulsion industry.
A product called CPR (Conditioning Pavement Rejuvenator), is in the pavement not on it, with only a small amount of carbon solids (5%) remaining on the surface of the pavement. It is a three component product and has approximately 4 times less carbon solids that are contained in a two part rejuvenator; it provides greater and deeper penetration and replaces the evaporated asphalt oils from the oxidized pavement.
Why Asphalt Pavements Deteriorate -
Asphalt deterioration is a chemical as well as a physical process. It is the chemical aspect that people fail to recognize when planning

a pavement maintenance program. The exposure of the UV rays from the sun, especially here in Florida, is devastating to your pavement. Oxidation chemically alters the asphalt binder, the glue that holds the mix of sand and stone together. This
oxidation effect makes the binder hard and brittle and prone to raveling (releasing of stone and sand). The surface then becomes rough and cracks form.
