5. Asphalt Preservation
or Rejuvenation
“(Has) the potential to extend the life
of an asphalt pavement for several years
beyond the point where rehabilitation, or
major reconstruction would normally be
required; thus, significantly decreasing the
pavement’s annual maintenance costs.”
Robert E. Boyer, Ph.D., P.E., the Asphalt Institute

and helping roads
and other paved surfaces
last longer
Asphalt

13.  Extends life of asphalt pavement
 Only 10% of the cost of paving

14. BIORESTOR Is Good
for the Environment
 Made of 95% bio-based materials …
soybean and other agricultural oils
 No petroleum – no harmful runoff
 Earned USDA BioPreferred™ status

15.  Restores lost binding properties of
asphalt
 Protects pavement from oxidation
 Restores flexibility; prevents cracks and
raveling
 Seals the pavement; prevents potholes
 Prevents construction joint failure

16. BIORESTOR Is Easy
to Apply
 Penetrates and cures in 20-30 min.
 Minimizes road closures
 Pavement markings show through
 Requires no sand, cover aggregate
 Maintains safe friction values

17. BIORESTOR at its Best
Apply soon after paving, because…
 Oxidation damage begins at hot mix
production facility-8 micron film 325F
 40-60% of damage in first 2-4 years
 Longer treatment delayed …
… $$$ repairs more likely

18. BIORESTOR Passes
the Test
 Slowed deterioration by 40% over 7 years
 BIORESTOR-treated section – 75 PCI – good
condition
 Untreated section – 64 PCI – fair condition

23. BIORESTOR Passes
the Test
“Based on my experience with asphalt based
surface types, rates of deterioration and the
ASTM inspection methodology; it
is clearly evident that the product
BIORESTOR inhibits the oxidation process
while providing for increased flexibility and a
longer lifespan of pavements treated after
paving.”
James Golden, President, JG3 Consulting, LLC, Heath,
Ohio

33. Longitudinal Joint Failures

34. Longitudinal Joint Failures
• Investigate the fundamental mechanisms
of longitudinal joint failure.
• Evaluate available technologies and
construction practices that may mitigate
longitudinal joint failure.
• Recommend potential changes to TDOT
specifications.

36. New Water Absorption Test
During the course of the project, the University of
Tennessee developed a new method to evaluate a joint
sealer’s ability to prevent water absorption at the joint.
They have found that rejuvenating oils prevent 80-90% of
the capillary action of water.

concerns with its use. Some states, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland
just a few have already banned from using tar.

43. Dear Mr. Freisthler:
This letter serves as official notification that BioBased Spray Systems LLC is a participant in the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) BioPreferredSM program.
BioPreferred is a Federally-managed program that aims to increase the purchase and use of renewable, sustainable biobased products. Biobased products are defined by
USDA as products that are composed in whole or in large part of agricultural or forestry materials. Biobased products may include plant, animal, or marine-based
materials.
BioPreferred works with manufacturers, such as BioBased Spray Systems LLC, distributors, and large-scale buyers (e.g. the government and commercial markets) to
increase awareness, purchase, and use of biobased products. BioBased Spray Systems LLC manufactures biobased asphalt restorative products. Biobased asphalt restorers
have not yet been designated by USDA for federal preferred procurement status. However, BioBased Spray Systems LLC’s Bio-Re-Stor asphalt sealer rejuvenator may
qualify for this status when asphalt restorers are designated. I’m not able to indicate when this designation will occur.
The area representative for BioBased Spray Systems LLC is Bioseal LLC, 19148 S. 104th Avenue, Mokena, Illinois 60448.
Federal government agencies, military branches, and Federal contractors must give preferred purchasing preference for BioPreferred biobased products — various
mandates, regulations, and Presidential Executive Orders (EO) document this. The President’s EO on Federal Sustainability (EO 13514 - Sept 2009) challenges the Federal
government to lead by example, practice what we preach, and help build a clean energy economy through the way we operate. Over the coming years, we look forward to
working with you to translate government greening policy into practice and to create lasting environmental change for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Ron Buckhalt
BioPreferred Program Manager
