FAQ

What are the prices?
As the manufacturer of the Soil Stabilization Innovations (SSI) line, we offer factory direct prices. SSI are priced per gallon / liter.

Do you have discounts?
Discounts are based on volume. Important discounts are available with full loads (+5000 liters). We also offer discounts for applications on historical sites.

what are the payment conditions?
We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and all public procurement cards. We can also establish net terms on the approved credit.

What happens to the application tracking after the initial application?
Once the performance has reached the limit of its longevity, a tracking application is necessary to restore and rejuvenate its optimal performance. Reapplying some of the products to a previously treated area usually requires only 20% of the original application amount to achieve the same results.

Can it be diluted with salt water?
Our polymers can be diluted in salt water (max 4% salt).

What happens with rain and precipitation?
Our polymers do not dissipate (wash) with rain. The heaviest concentrations, really water resistant of the treated surface.

What about decreasing application rates / mixtures?
The decrease in the application rate (greater coverage) will result in the reduction of strength, longevity and performance.

How do you clean the application equipment after applying it to surfaces?
Our polymers are soluble in water. The application equipment should simply be rinsed after use. Our polymers need to be soaked with a degreasing agent and high pressure wash.

How can I use these polymers for hydroseeding?
A hydrosembradora is recommended to mix and apply sowing polymers, mulch and Our polymers together. Our soil stabilization polymers will function as a super strength tack agent. It will also speed up the germination process of the seeds.

What about the enzymes?
With enzymes you need a certain percentage of clays in order to be effective. The application cost is high. When it is cured normally another product must be applied to the surface, since there will still be superior dust. In addition, it is not impermeable to rain, and many times they will be washed from the slightest fall.

How about bitumen Emulsions?
Petroleum resin emulsions leaching away with precipitation, are harmful to vegetation and groundwater, become slippery when wet, are difficult to clean from application equipment and track vehicles.

What about organic resin emulsions such as treesap and Tall oil tar?
Organic resin emulsions are not easy to apply. They offer low tensile strength and do not create a great bond between soil particles. They can also become sticky and stick to tires and vehicles.

What about lignin sulfonates?
Lignin sulfonates are corrosive to aluminum. They seep away with precipitation and are harmful to groundwater. The area that has been applied can become slippery when it is wet too.

Do you have knowledge of other studies in which different types of soil stabilization and dust control products have been compared or studied?
Dust suppression studies have consistently established SSI as the most effective product in terms of cost, ease of application, environmental safety and durability. This is further documented by our CBR and the UCS reports.

What is the allowed weight per axle?
Typically our polymer enhanced soil withstand weights of more than 500 (35 bar) to more than 1000 psi (70 bar). It depends on the ground. So yes it will be able to stabilize the ground and will not break even with heavy Haul truck traffic.

Are there other limitations compared to tar?
It is going to be made out of tar, since it has a smaller particle size and can be spread on the ground. It will also increase the CBR and ground load support force. So instead, it is a method far superior to tar.

What are the typical application rates?
Our typical dose for short-term non-traffic dust control, (6 months or less) is generally about 200 liters of Control Plus concentrate powder diluted with 10 parts of water per acre. For long term, non-traffic dust control (12 to 18 months) it is recommended to use 400 liters of Control Plus powder mixed with eight parts of water per acre.

What is the application method?
Control Plus powder is usually applied outside a water truck or hydro-seeder and must be applied by a licensed contractor as the solution will alter the soil structure to a slight degree. Control Plus powder is not much more viscous than water, so when it is added to the water to be mixed with oneself it does not have a necessary stirrer.

Do you have information / videos on the effectiveness, application techniques, cost and duration of use for soil stabilization innovations?
We look forward to working with you on your project.
The tests have confirmed Innovations stabilization of polymer soils to be the most cost effective and durable dust suppression product available in the engineering market; Please call or email for videos and application instructions.

The innovations is the stabilization of profitable soils to use?
Government studies have concluded that our polymers are the most cost effective of dust control products, accumulated over time, compared to traditional products, such as stabilization with asphalt cement, chlorides and water.

How about magnesium chlorides?
Magnesium chlorides, while very cheap in the initial cost are charged back with expenses. Mag Chlorides are corrosive to metals and therefore put equipment and vehicles at risk. The surface becomes slippery when wet. It is also filtered at a distance with rainfall so the need to reapply is much greater. In addition, it is harmful to groundwater and vegetation.

Can you provide a list of examples in which our products have been used successfully to meet the needs of road stabilization and dust control?
Yes, with many successful projects at hand we will be happy to present the performance based on your needs.

Is the cost of soil Stabilization Mixtures effective to use?
Government studies have concluded that our products are the most cost effective suppression powder products, accumulated over time, compared to traditional products, such as stabilization with asphalt cement, chlorides and water. We can provide a detailed list of road commissioners and superintendents across the country who have successfully used our formulas as a dust control agent instead of other products.

What about organic resin emulsions such as treesap and Tall oil tar?
Organic resin emulsions are not easy to apply. They offer low tensile strength and do not create a great bond between soil particles. They can also become sticky and stick to tires and vehicles.

What about lignin sulfonates?
Lignin sulfonates are corrosive to aluminum. They seep away with precipitation and are harmful to groundwater. The area that has been applied can become slippery when it is wet too.

Do you have knowledge of other studies in which different types of soil stabilization and dust control products have been compared or studied?
Dust suppression studies have consistently established Innovations soil stabilization mixtures as the most effective product in terms of cost, ease of application, environmental safety and durability. This is further documented by our CBR and the UCS reports.

Do you have information / videos on the effectiveness, application techniques, cost and duration of use for soil stabilization innovations?
The tests have confirmed our products to be the most cost effective and durable dust suppression product available in the market; Please call or email for application instructions ad videos.

What is allowed the speed limit?
We have made roads that accommodate more than 70 mph easily. It just depends on how smooth you get the way in the classification process.

How is the result affected by rain?
When applied our polymers will coat the soil particles with a plastic resin. This mitigates the potential for soil swelling.

Provide more details about your products.
We have many engineering polymer products. The one I would recommend for the typical short and long-term traffic-based dust control application would not be our Powder Control Plus product. Control Plus powder is a fact for product specifications unlike others that may use paint or waste byproduct. Thus we pay attention to our environmental impact mixtures. It dries of course that is important. Other industry standards can dry white or off-white and are often disguised with green or brown dye that tend to say it is added as a visual marker.

What type of soil does the work with the product?
Dust control In addition, when used to control dust traffic it will not work with all types of soils. It will bond the surface particles together and form a durable and still permeable film on the surface. Soil analysis should be taken into account, however, when building traffic areas to ensure that the reinforced surface can accommodate the expected traffic load pressure. Application rates vary in these scenarios.

What are the potential environmental impacts?
Some of our competitors mix the dust control agent with paints that may be high in volatile organic compounds. When VOCs begin to decompose, they enter the environment and actually be more harmful than the native dust they were destined to stop. Our society is presented to the highest standards and is proud to offer environmentally friendly products free of paint.

I have used polymer products in the past and it didn't seem to work as planned?
"Polymers" is a vague description of the product. Many companies sell VAE, based on styrene, homopolymers, etc., which are cheaper to make, but they are not supported by far from that of acrylic-based polymers. Many will give good strength numbers in a 21-day test, but after as many as a couple of months it will start to deteriorate because they are not manufactured with longevity in mind.
