Soilworks products are the industry’s top standard due to our insistence on creating high performance soil stabilization and dust control products that stand up to rigorous testing – both in the lab and in the field. Our commitment to quality and performance has led to our involvement and testing in hundreds of real-world situations. The following library of reports, presentations, specifications, approvals and other similar documents provide you, our customer, the transparency and dependable assurance that is expected from Soilworks.
The Trail Hardening for Mountain Bike Trails document explores various techniques for improving trail durability, reducing erosion, and minimizing dust emissions. Among the stabilization methods, the document highlights Soiltac®, a synthetic copolymer emulsion by Soilworks, as a widely used solution for BMX tracks and high-performance trail surfaces. The benefits of Soiltac include long-term soil stabilization, dust suppression, and enhanced surface strength, ensuring reduced maintenance and improved rider safety.
The report also evaluates other soil stabilization methods, including BioCement and Dirt Glue Polymer, which offer alternative approaches to trail hardening. However, Soiltac is noted as a leading choice for professional tracks due to its proven performance and durability. By integrating polymer-based stabilization solutions, mountain bike parks and recreational trail managers can enhance surface integrity, reduce airborne dust, and extend the lifespan of high-impact riding areas.
