About Reactiv8 Inc.
Built on performance.
Backed by chemistry.
Designed for results.
Trusted Technology since 2009
Reactiv8 Inc. was founded on a simple belief: asphalt surfaces don’t
need to be replaced the moment they show signs of aging. With the
right science, experience, and intent, they can be restored to
perform longer, sustainably.
Where Reactiv8 Inc. Began
Meet Our President
Larry Kuepfer
Reactiv8 Inc.’s roots trace back to decades of real-world experience working with asphalt, liquids, and surface performance.
Founder Larry Kuepfer, President and CEO of Reactiv8 Inc., grew up around asphalt-based industries. In 1992, his father Steve founded Perth Dust Control, which grew into one of the largest dust control operations in Southwestern Ontario. That environment created a deep, practical understanding of asphalt behaviour in real-world conditions.
In 2009, Larry and Steve began working with a chemist to explore ways to improve the strength, flexibility, and longevity of recycled asphalt paving projects. Through years of testing, refinement, and field application, they developed a proprietary formula that produced reliable, high-performance results in recycled asphalt millings, performance that consistently impressed experienced industry professionals.
That work became the cornerstone of what would later become Reactiv8 Inc..
From Asphalt Success To Shingle Technology
In 2019, the chemistry behind our work with asphalt took a new direction. After achieving significant success in recycled asphalt rejuvenation, the team turned their attention to developing a high-performance asphalt shingle rejuvenator.
Rather than repurposing an existing formula, Reactiv8 Inc. invested in creating a distinct, purpose-built solution engineered specifically for asphalt shingles.
After extensive testing and refinement, the technology once again proved extremely effective. The result was Reactiv8 Inc. Shingle, a plant-based rejuvenation formula designed to restore flexibility, improve waterproofing, and extend the life of aging asphalt shingles.
Built On Experience, Not Theory
Reactiv8 Inc. is not a lab-only concept or a cosmetic surface treatment. Every formula and process has been developed through hands-on application, field testing, and performance validation across real environments.
Our technology has been used in:
- Residential roofing
- Recycled asphalt pavements
- Commercial and industrial surfaces
- Agricultural and rural applications
- Municipal roadways
This practical foundation ensures that Reactiv8 Inc. solutions deliver measurable results, not just promises.
Sustainability With Purpose
Sustainability has always been a core driver behind Reactiv8 Inc., but never at the expense of performance.
By restoring existing asphalt surfaces instead of replacing them, Reactiv8 Inc. helps:
Our formulas are made using renewable, plant-based ingredients designed to work safely and effectively.
