Streets and roads.
RePLAY strengthens streets and roads and extends their useful lifespan, reduces heat reflection, and maintains (or increases) skid resistance—all while saving municipalities and transportation agencies money.
Increased performance and longer life for roads.
RePLAY’s cost and time savings to local and state transportation agencies are many. Unlike other maintenance methods, no restriping is required, and RePLAY cures in minutes, enabling traffic to return immediately after.

Traditional sealers require 8-48 hours to cure— RePLAY typically takes 30 minutes.
95%
Restoration to original strength
RePLAY penetrates up to 1.25" into the asphalt to restore the binders and polymers.

RePLAY isn't dependent on sun exposure to cure, which means it can be applied on dry pavement day or night down to 32º.
The City of Medford's customer journey.
Challenge:
Medford wanted to maximize its budget to increase its ability to raise its Pavement Quality Index .
About:
Medford is in the southwestern part of Oregon and is home to over 82,000 citizens that enjoy the Pacific Northwest lifestyle at its best. In 2006, they began to understand the significant long term cost savings presented by BioSpan’s premier product: RePlay. Medford started applying RePlay on streets and trails, then after successful testing and monitoring of pavement over a two-year period they now continue to spray RePlay and other BioSpan pavement solutions upon the entire city’s asphalt infrastructures.

Long-term pavement preservation strategy.
City Construction Manager Tad Blanton explains how the Public Works Department of Medford, OR, lowered its maintenance costs and saved taxpayer dollars with RePLAY.
Outcome.
Since 2010, Medford has treated almost half of its lane miles with RePLAY and has seen a PCI index in the 80s to 90s on most roads where RePLAY was applied within the first three to seven years of paving.
“I am really amazed and very pleasantly surprised that these streets are holding up as well as they are…this is proof that what we once took on as an act of faith has now turned into a belief system.”
Differentiation.
RePLAY stands out from the competition by introducing nine new SBS and SBBS polymers to the asphalt. When these polymers bond to oxidized asphalt, reverses weak conditions and strengthens the surface. When applied every five years (on average), a road’s life can be extended two to three times longer without repaving.

unique polymers are added to the asphalt to strengthen and rejuvenate.
