RePlay® Agricultural Oil Seal & Preservation Agent® is an innovative road maintenance solution that extends the life of existing asphalt pavements by restoring the flexibility and durability of the asphalt binder. This is accomplished through the use of our patented agricultural oil and polymer technology.
Asphalt Pavements
Asphalt pavements suffer a variety of environmental factors and deterioration as they age. These factors include temperature fluctuations, moisture, traffic, and oxidation. Asphalt becomes more brittle and susceptible to cracking and potholes, eventually falling apart.
Our Polymer Technology
The RePlay polymer technology is a blend of 7 polymers specially designed to work synergistically to preserve asphalt pavements. Some polymer combinations can affect the elasticity of asphalt binder, which can improve resistance to rutting and fatigue. Other polymers can create a water-proofing effect to resist moisture penetration and thermal cycling stress.
The polymers work by:
- Increasing the flexibility of the asphalt binder
- Reducing the susceptibility of the asphalt binder to oxidation
- Improving the adhesion of the asphalt binder to the aggregate
- Inhibiting the growth of cracks and potholes
RePlay Extends the Life of Asphalt Pavements
RePlay can extend the life of asphalt pavements by up to 10 years by resisting the formation of potholes and cracking. RePlay also reduces the need for overlays or other, more major repairs. This can lessen the frequency of road maintenance and save municipalities and businesses significant costs long term.
Conclusion
RePlay by BioSpan is a revolutionary road maintenance solution that uses innovative biobased technology to rejuvenate and extend the life of existing asphalt pavements. Our patented polymer technology restores and reinforces the desired pavement characteristics while lessening the frequency of maintenance. RePlay by BioSpan can save municipalities and businesses significant road maintenance costs and reduce traffic disruptions.
