High Molecular Weight Medium Anionic Polyacrylamide Road Soil Stabilizer

Specifications

Advantages for Anionic Polyacrylamide in Soild Stabilization:

• Improves stability of problem soils to prevent soil detachment (i.e. prevents erosion) in the first place
• Provides quick stabilization where vegetation has yet to be established
• Promotes flocculation (reduces settling time) of smallest particles
• Increases soil pore volume and permeability, thus decreasing imperious cover
• Less obtrusive than some conventional measures - doesn’t interfere with construction machinery/activity
• Convenient and easy to apply and store along with other soil amendments (fertilizer, mulch, etc.) with conventional seeding, mulching, or irrigation equipment
• The material is specifically designed for the soil, waters, and other on-site characteristics
• May prevent costly repair and reshaping of rilling or failing slopes

• Re-application may not be necessary for several months if treated areas are mulched

• Reduces seed, pesticide, and fertilizer (phosphorus and nitrogen) losses that hinder vegetation establishment on site, increase costs, and promote nutrient and chemical loading offsite

• Reduces windborne dust conditions

Anionic Polyacrylamide Can be Applied to the Following Areas:

• Roughly graded soils that will be inactive for a period of time.
• Final graded soils before application of final stabilization (e.g., paving, planting, mulching).
• Temporary haul roads prior to placement of crushed rock surfacing.
• Compacted soil road base.
• Construction staging, materials storage, and layout areas.
• Soil stockpiles.
• Areas that will be mulched.
