PX300 Soil Stabilizer

Road Stabilization and Dust Control

Steps of a Road Stabilization Project:

Step I
PX-300 is poured into a water truck along with the required amount of water for spreading the mixture over the area to be treated. PX-300 concentration in the water carrier depends upon the amount of moisture present in the soil, climatic conditions and type of soil to be stabilized.

Step II
A disc (36") fragments and breaks up the soil in the area to be treated, to a depth of 5" to 6". Simultaneously, the water truck spreads PX-300 and water over the area undergoing the disc process.

Step III
A motor grader shapes the treated area consistent with the engineering specifications

This road, stabilized with DuraRoad PX 300 wears well and has a natural appearance appropriate for this mountain area.

This PX 300 stabilized roadbed will have a 2 inch asphalt application instead of the usual 4-6 inches required by traditional road-building methods. PX 300 stabilization reduces by one-half the depth of asphalt required for a durable wear surface for heavy traffic.

Different attractive shades of road surface can be obtained by adding materials like crushed coral rock.

Erosion and Dust Control with DuraRoad PX300:

A PX300 solution sprayed onto a surface will effectively bind soil particles together to resist dust stirred up by traffic and wind, as well as water erosion. Because PX300 is entirely non-polluting and environmentally safe, it won't harm plant or animal life and can safely be used as a carrier for hydro-seeding. PX300 will not change the appearance of the native soil, and preserves the natural look of the application site after the cure period. PX300 can successfully stabilize many different kinds of soils, including sand, gravel, silt, clays, volcanic ash, or combinations of these types of materials.

The application method for PX300 is not complicated. PX300 is supplied in 55 gallon drums of concentrate which is then mixed on-site with water. The PX300/water ratio is determined by the soil type, general weather conditions and the slope of the terrain to be stabilized, although generally, the preferred dilution rate is one part PX300 to 12 parts water.

After mixing, the liquid is merely sprayed on the site soil, either with a water truck, or hand sprayer. No compaction is required. The curing time depends on the soil type and weather conditions at the time of application: during hot dry weather, treated soil typically cures in 3 hours, while damp or cool weather will extend the cure time.
