A PRI Construction Materials Technologies laboratory evaluation confirmed Soiltac’s compliance with CalTrans Standard Specification 18-1.02(B) for Synthetic Polymer Emulsions, verifying its high-performance properties for dust control, erosion prevention, and soil stabilization. Testing included Retained Coagulum, Ash Content, and Tensile Strength, with results exceeding industry requirements:
Retained Coagulum: 0.01%, well below the ≤ 0.1% limit, ensuring a highly refined polymer composition.
Ash Content: 0.3%, significantly lower than the ≤ 2% requirement, confirming low residue content.
Tensile Strength: 1,525 psi, exceeding the ≥ 500 psi minimum, demonstrating superior durability and resistance to environmental stresses.
The study confirms Soiltac’s ability to form a strong, flexible, and long-lasting soil-stabilizing crust, making it ideal for construction, transportation, erosion control, and dust suppression applications.
For high-performance soil stabilization and regulatory-compliant dust control, Soiltac delivers a proven, industry-certified solution. Contact Soilworks for technical specifications and application strategies.
