STABALOC
is one of the world's finest products for road stabilization and
pond and/or landfill sealing. Although it has been available for
the past 10 years on an experimental basis, due to a recent major
expansion in manufacturing capacities, STABALOC
is available for the first time to the commercial and industrial
marketplace. STABALOC, a concentrated enzyme
formulation, alters the properties of earth material to produce
superior road base stabilization compared to all other road treatment
materials now in use. Developed and proven through many years
of field-testing, STABALOC provides additional advantages to road
builders, communities and the environment by being non-toxic,
non-corrosive and totally biodegradable.
When mixed with water and applied prior to compaction, STABALOC
acts upon organic fines contained in the soil through a catalytic
bonding process, producing a strong cementation action. Unlike
inorganic or petroleum based products which temporarily hold soil
materials together, STABALOC causes the soil
to bond during compaction into a dense permanent base which resists
water penetration, weathering and wear. This process takes place
in 72 hours under normal summer conditions.
In addition to creating a new and better way of building and maintaining
roads, STABALOC is being used successfully in
the construction of lake beds, mine leach pads, ponds and landfill
liners, wherever there is a need to increase the loadbearing capacity
of the soil and to reduce the plasticity and permeability.
