In order to determine the optimum amount of rejuvenating agent to be added into the recycled mix, five different concentrations of rejuvenating agent were added ranging from 0.5 % to 1.7 % by weight of the mix at intervals of 0.3 %.

description Malaysia spends a substantial amount of money in maintaining the road pavements.
