ROAD-HARD is a new soil stabilizer and dust control agent that transforms all types of soils into hardened, water resistant platforms. ROAD-HARD is a proprietary mixture of organic polymers that are non-toxic, easily applied,and safe to use in soils and around animals. Problem: Maintaining rural, unpaved roads presents a greater challengetoday than ever before. The combination of increasedtraffic and severe weather has doubled grading efforts andhas stretched maintenance budgets to their limits. ROAD-HARD is your answer to these problems. |
The Solution
ROAD-HARD delivers a long-lasting, hardened, and water-resistant soil body that vastly improvetransportation routes and work areas, keeping them accessible year-round.Road-Hard is easy and safe to use. It minimizes gradingand maintenance upkeep on unpaved roads and soil surfaces soyour equipment and manpower can be used on other criticalinfrastructure.Application:
Video
ROAD-HARD is shipped as a dry bulk product.
- Applied in its dry state by drop spreader
- Product is sprayed with water and additive
- ROAD-HARD is tilled into the soil, shaped and compacted
- Application can be used for general road stabilization, erosion control and dust control
For detailed application instructions see our application page. Within hours you have the beginnings of a hard, water-resistant road structure that is functional.
Before ROAD-HARD |
After ROAD-HARD |
Hardening to 200 psi continues for 72 hours, and full cure time continues over the course of 2 -3 weeks. Soil compression strengths reach 500 psi or greater allowing heavy equipment to operate without hindrance.
(Untreated, compacted soil often ranges between 45 to 75 psi).
ROAD-HARD is environmentally safe, easy to use, and will not leech into water sources.
Uses Include
- Unpaved roads -gravel and dirt
- Work areas and hardstands
- Construction sites
- Trails and pathways
- Hillsides and slopes
- Drainage areas in fields
- Eroding water banks
- Runways and approach areas
- Earthen floors and walls
Advantages:
- Highly Effective—Works on all kinds of soilsto both harden and resist water. Roads and work areasremain strong and dust free. Helps eliminate potholesand wash-boarding.
- Minimal Maintenance—Road-Hard generally requiresonly periodic surface treatment on the wear layer,depending on traffic volume, speed, and weight.Damaged roads and potholes are easily treated andrestored.
- Affordable—Saves money in product cost androad construction.
- Environmentally Safe—Road-Hard is safe to use byany standards. Non-toxic, no run-off, and no leaching.Road-Hard biodegrades over time, but it is easilyre-applied and strengthened.
- Easy to use—Road-Hard is applied in its dry state toloose soil, treated with a catalyst, and then wetted with a water-based solution. The treated soil is then tilled,shaped, and compacted. Surface areas are ready to beused as soon as they are dry.
- Rapid Construction—A supervised, unskilled laborcrew can treat 1 mile of two-lane road per day.
- Logistically friendly—Cut your transportation costs.Road-Hard requires about 20% as much product as
conventional stabilizers.
Cost
Road-Hard is generally applied on the surface for dust control and at 2", 4" and depths.Pricing is highly competitive. See our price specification sheets for a preliminary estimate.
