Abstract:This report contains a product evaluation of K.A.E. Paving Consultant's Bituminous Pavement Rejuvenator (BPR). BPR is a coal tar product consisting of a low viscosity blend of aromatic oils designed to penetrate the asphalt, and rejuvenate and plasticize the binder. Two test sections of BPR were placed in Arizona. At both sections the BPR was mixed, heated, and applied by manual methods. After placement a sand blotter was used to increase the friction characteristics. Visual inspection and core samples were performed at both sections. Both test sites had severe cracking prior to placement of the BPR. After placement a limited amount of crack sealing was observed; however, the test conditions were so extreme that it was difficult to adequately evaluate the test sections. After one year, no significant difference between the treated and untreated sections was apparent. /Abstract from report summary page/
