5. EarthZyme Soil Stabilization
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
• Non-toxic clay soil stabilizer
• 100% Biodegradable
• Reduced road maintenance
costs due to increased and
lasting compaction and
strength values

6. EarthZyme Soil Stabilization
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
• Earthzyme reacts permanently with the
clay in the soil to produce long-term
stabilization
• It uses the clay as the natural binder, which
remains in the soil indefinitely.
• There is no glue like other products. So
does not wash-out with rainfall
• EarthZyme contains three primary active
ingredients – surfactants; electrolytes;
enzymes

7. Surfactants
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
These lubricate the soil, by
reducing the surface tension of
the water in the soil medium
(allowing the soil to be
compacted with less voids)

8. Electrolytes
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
The electrolytes permanently
exchange ions with the clay particles,
filling their negatively charged
receptors, resulting in clay particles
that are no longer attracted to
positively charged water

9. Enzymes
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
The enzymes enhance or
facilitates the ion exchange
between the electrolytes and
the clay particles

10. Reduction of Operational Costs
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
• Significant reduction in long term maintenance costs
• Significant reduction in material costs to build the
road
• Allows for the use of inexpensive in situ, high clay
content soils
• Saving $$$ on the use of expensive aggregates
• Applicable with standard road building equipment
and techniques

11. Reduction of Operational Costs
©2018. GEO-EDGE LLC
• Increased CBR (California Bearing Ratio) value
resulting in reduced rolling resistance
• Better fuel economy
• Improved productivity
• Reduced swell allowing for more durable soils in
wet weather
• One application lasts several years
• Super concentrated liquid reduces shipping costs

12. Long Term Economic Benefits – Rolling
Resistance

Rolling Resistance (%) Production (%) Fuel Cost (%)
Clay Shale; 7.0 - 42 100
Clay Shale + EarthZyme; 2.7 - 7 10
Savings (%) 35 90
