Asphalt Rejuvenator, PG Modifier, & Shingle Coating Additive

JIVE™’s purpose is to give your old asphalt new life. POET’s quest for renewable alternatives led to a clean, corn-based solution. Its patented BPX process makes JIVE safer and more cost-effective. Made from 100% homegrown American corn, JIVE is greener and more reliable than its competitors.

Rejuvenator Studies

High RAP and RAS mixtures
JIVE™ changes the PG grade of virgin bitumen and also rejuvenates RAP mixtures by restoring the aged bitumen’s properties of the aged bitumen, allowing for more flexibility in mix designs
Intermediate and low-temperature cracking resistance is enhanced even at high RAP content while not negatively impacting rutting resistance

Modification Studies

JIVE reduces viscosity and increases the UTI of bitumen from an array of crude sources by improving low-temperature properties while limiting high-temperature rutting
Low dosage rates of 3-4% by weight of binder to improve asphalt binder by one PG grade
Low VOCs for low volatile mass loss

Shingles Studies

Low percent inclusion (1-3%) for observed benefits
Improvement in shingle coating softening point and penetration relationship (penetration increases 2.2 dmm per percent inclusion)
Reduction in shingle coating viscosity
No negative impacts on stain index
Reduction in mass loss due to weathering
