- Composed basically of enzymes, electrolytes, and surfactants, it reduces quantity of water contained in the soil to create voids for denser compaction, manipulating the clay to bond permanently, increasing the strength of the bonds.
- The main objective of this product is to improve the physical properties of the natural soils of a road, with clay content, reducing the need to import other inputs.
- Ecologically correct;
- Non-toxic to vegetation and road users.
- 100% Biodegradable
- Non flammable
- When used on unpaved roads, EarthZyme’s exclusive formula increases compaction values, making it more durable.
- Treated soils exhibit excellent improvements in CBR values.
- It results in a road material with less permeability, therefore a road with better performance both rainy and dry periods and will reduce the tendency of roads to pathologies such as: wash-boarding, rutting, heaving, potholing and dust.
- Reduces operational and maintenance costs.
APPLICATION
For soil stabilization of an existing roadbed, the pavement must first to be ripped the first layer to the desired depth for treatment.
The EarthZyme® soil stabilizer should then be applied to the soil as early as possible, pre-diluted with water, with enough water to bring the soil to the OMC (Wet Moisture Content).
EarthZyme® is applied with a standard water truck. It is suggested that the water be filled in the truck before adding the EarthZyme® soil stabilizer. This will prevent foaming due to the surfactant component of the blend. The most important in the distribution is the uniformity of the EarthZyme® product over the area being treated to be equal and consistent.
The next stage in the soil stabilization process / EarthZyme® is the blend. This can be done simply with the motor grader blade or similar machine.
Once the soil has been brought to the WTO and consistently mixed, the material is ready for compaction. It is important to note that even when using EarthZyme®, proper engineering practices must still be followed, such as attention to modeling and drainage.
