Preserve more road.
Rebuild less.

Documented field performance for maltene-based rejuvenation typically extends pavement service life by around 4 to 7 years per treatment, depending on traffic loading, UV exposure and base condition. The exact interval for any South African surface depends on a condition assessment and local environmental factors — our technical team can advise after a site evaluation.

Rejuvenation is most effective on surfaces showing moderate oxidation — grey surface colouration, early surface microcracking and surface hardening that typically appear several years after paving. The pavement must still be structurally sound, with no base failure or deep structural cracking. Surfaces already exhibiting ravelling, potholing or sub-base failure are not candidates for rejuvenation and require rehabilitation first. A pavement condition assessment is the first step.

Yes. Rejuvenation suits municipal road networks because it supports a network-level preservation strategy — treating structurally sound roads before they require expensive rehabilitation, and so stretching limited maintenance budgets further. Engineers can integrate it into road asset management programmes as a scheduled preventative treatment, typically on a multi-year cycle following condition assessment.

Rejuvenation is significantly less expensive than a hot-mix asphalt overlay or full resurfacing. While exact costs depend on surface area, condition and access, it typically costs a fraction of a conventional resurfacing programme for the same area. Applied at the right point in the deterioration cycle, it can defer resurfacing by several years — delivering additional serviceable life at a fraction of the cost of rehabilitation. All figures are indicative and subject to a site assessment.

No. The process is spray-applied and does not require hot-mix equipment, milling machines or heavy plant. Application is typically completed in a single session and most surfaces are trafficable within hours (approximately 2.5 hours, conditions-dependent). By comparison, conventional resurfacing usually involves milling, paving and extended curing — often multi-day closures. This makes rejuvenation valuable where minimising disruption matters: commercial properties, logistics hubs, airports and busy urban roads.
