EarthZyme - Lasting Stabilization of Clay Based Soils
EarthZyme a is non-toxic soil stabilizer used on clay-based soils that reduces road maintenance costs due to the increased and lasting compaction and strength values that result from the product’s application.
EarthZyme is applied to a clay-based soil and will result in substantially higher CBR values (a measure of soil strength). The use of EarthZyme soil stabilizer will allow for the use of marginal soil materials, thereby reducing the standard reliance on expensive aggregates and gravels. Once applied correctly, the EarthZyme soil stabilization product will result in a soil with lower permeability due to increased soil density, which in turn results in a harder, more durable road in both dry and wet weather.
EarthZyme is 100% biodegradable and derives its efficacy on the clay-based fraction of the soil. After applying EarthZyme, the clay particles present in the soil are no longer attracted to water, allowing for any water in the soil to drain away freely. This results in the clay/soil particles settling closer together and producing lasting soil stabilization. Unlike typical soil stabilization products, EarthZyme uses the clay in the soil as a binder - not the product itself. Other soil stabilization products glue the soil together; once that glue is gone, so are the results. Since EarthZyme uses the clay in the soil as a binder it provide for lasting soil stabilization.
EarthZyme is produced in a highly concentrated liquid form and is applied using standard equipment and techniques. Once applied, EarthZyme will reduce the tendency for a road to exhibit a number of common maintenance problems such as wash-boarding, rutting, heaving, potholing and dust. The product is super-concentrated, therefore making the product cost-negligible per kilometre or mile of road treated compared to alternative products or standard maintenance costs of un-stabilized roads. EarthZyme is used primarily to stabilize the base of an unsealed road, but can also be used as a soil stabilizer under pavement of any kind.

If you have low amounts of clay in your soil, options are available to add clay and other additives to the soil. For more details, please contact us.
