2.Check plasticity index.
3.Check PH and conduct Proctor tests.
STEP II
ROAD SURFACE TREATMENT
Use Ripper or tractor to open up surface soil.
STEP III
Road base soil treatment
Use motor grader or tractor with plowing discs attachments to open up, mix and fold road base soil until a consistent mixture of
soil is achieved.
STEP IV POLYMER APPLING
STEP V SHAPE THE ROAD
STEP VI DRAINAGE MAKING
STEP VII ROAD COMPACT
STEP VIII SEAL COAT APPLICATION
STEP IX SEAL COAT APPLICATION
CASE STUDY:
Example of soil stabilized road test:
Depth: 150mm
Material: Dry Sand and 5-10mm gravel
Soil Stabilizing Dosage rate: 0.6 ltrs plus 4.8 ltrs water per sq mtr.
Total Liquid: 36 ltrs per cub mtr.
Top seal: 0.25 ltrs plus 0.75 ltrs water per sq mtr.
If needed, other materials can be added to reinforce the solidity.
CASE STUDY:
Road needed to be stabilized: 1000m*6m
Depth:15cm
Area: 6000sqm
Polymer requirements: 3.6t
Finish coat:1.5t
Total polymer needed: 5.1t
Equipment specifications would include:
Crusher/Ripper, Spray tanker, Grader, Smooth drum vibration compactor.
The normal applications method is:
a) scarify the soils first
b)Remove large stones
c)spray acrylic polymer
d)mix it with soil
e)compact
f)apply final coat.
Packing & Delivery
Packing:
50kgs plastic drum/160kgs plastic drum/200kgs plastic drum/1000kgs IBC pallet/20000kgs soft packing.
Storage and transportation:
This chemical should be stored in a ventilated and dry room, avoiding direct sunlight. Otherwise it will easily cause the emulsion to form surface film.
Transport and store at 5
o
C-35
o
C environment.
Shelf life is 1 year from the date of first use.
Safety notice:
The water based polymer emulsion is non-toxic and non-flammable. If it splashes into eyes, it should be washed with plenty of water immediately then go to hospital.
