Initially done with chemicals like lime, chlorides, oil, etc. chemical soil stabilization practices have always raised concerns about their negative impact on the environment. However, around 1990s, a new era of chemical soil stabilization began with eco-friendly polymers (pioneered by EP& A Envirotac Inc.); and the world finally had a soil stabilization solution, which is cost-effective, long-lasting, and environmentally safe.

3. What Is Chemical Soil
Stabilization
Traditionally, many methods have been used for soil stabilization jobs such as
mechanical, chemical, or simply spray of water to temporarily suppress loose
soil particles. Over the years, all these methods have evolved, but the one that
has advanced more than others is chemical-based soil stabilization.
Initially done with chemicals like lime, chlorides, oil, etc. chemical soil
stabilization practices have always raised concerns about their negative
impact on the environment. Today, polymer-based chemical soil stabilization
solutions are widely accepted across the world for various industry
applications. However, environment-friendliness isn’t the only reason behind
their global adoption. Here are 4 major advantages that make polymer-based
soil stabilization the best solution for all construction jobs.

4. Effective Waterproofing
When applied to a surface, polymers-based soil stabilizers bind dust
particles together by creating an ionic bond (chemically, a very strong
bond) between them. This turns the treated area into a semi-hard surface
that prevents water penetration.
If we take Envirotac polymers for example, the acrylic nature of the
product create a lamination type of layer on the treated area, which
prevents water from entering the surface quite effectively. Soil
stabilization solutions before polymers were far less effective in that
regard.

5. Improved Soil Volume
The fluctuations in temperature & moisture level during different seasons
affect the soil volume significantly. This has a direct impact on the soil
strength & stability. Soil stabilization polymers are proactively designed to
stand against these effects on soil due to weather changes and stand
tough against all weather conditions.

6. Reduced Project Cost
Polymer based soil stabilization solutions work directly with in-situ soil &
water; therefore, are automatically cost-effective. Even if we consider the
maintenance cost, they still cost marginally less than other methods.

7. Improved Productivity
One of the best things about polymer-based chemical soil stabilization
solutions is that they are also very effective dust control products. They
prevent particles from becoming airborne; consequently, provide healthier
air condition & better visibility, both of which are essential for good
working conditions.

8. About Envirotac
Being the oldest player in the industry, Envirotac line of erosion & dust
control polymers for soil stabilization projects has set quality benchmarks
over the years. A global client based, countless industrial applications,
and most importantly the performance of their products, make EP&A
Envirotac Inc. the most trusted soil stabilization company in the United
States. Envirotac product Rhino Snot is used by US military in their
operation at Afghanistan for creating an area where they could land
planes and helicopter.
