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’s application to an applicable soil will result in higher CBR values (a measure of soil strength) and will allow for the use of marginal soil materials therefore reducing the standard reliance on expensive aggregates and gravels. The stabilized soil will have a lower permeability due to the increased soil density, resulting 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 EarthZyme’s application the clay particles present in the soil are no longer attracted to water, allowing for any water in the soil to drain away freely resulting in the clay/soil particles settling closer together and producing lasting effects of soil stabilization.
EarthZyme is available in 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 kilometer or mile of road treated compared to alternative products or standard maintenance costs of un-stabilized gravel 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.
