Review of Iterlene ACF 1000 as a bitumen regenerator for hot asphalt mixture

The use of reclaimed asphalt, as well as the need for it, in the production of fresh asphalt is experiencing an increase. The grade and quantity of binder added to the mixture must be adjusted to compensate for the age-hardened binder within the reclaimed asphalt, in order to produce a mixture with the required properties. As the proportion of reclaimed asphalt is increased, the adjustments increase. Regenerators can be added to rejuvenate the binder, in order to reduce the adjustment needed and to increase the consistency of the final product. Iterlene ACF 1000 is one such product, and some test data is available for it. In order to assess the effectiveness of the product, that information has been reviewed and further tests have been undertaken. Properties that have degenerated in aged bitumen are recovered by the regenerator for their incorporation into a new asphalt mixtures, it has been found.
