Ecobond Application

Ecobond Slab - Used without a seal.

The four main factors that determine the strength of Ecobond:

1. Soil Type: Ecobond is compatible with a broad range (80%+) of soils but is best suited to use with a well-graded soil, preferably with ample fines. More than 20% clay is not recommended. Some pebbles or stones in soil work well but Ecobond does not glue stones together without finer soil in between.

2. Dosage Rate: Typical dosage rates are: (Ecobond Weight / Soil Weight):

   Ecobond Dosage

   Applcation	Minimum	Maximum
   Roads	1%	3%
   Dams & Ponds	2%	4%
   Walls & Floors	3%	4%

3. Moisture content: Optimum moisture content (OMC) or rather slightly above, facilitates even distribution and optimum compaction. A moisture content above 25% has a detrimental effect on the Ecobond reaction.

4. Compaction: Ecobond is an excellent compaction aid. Manual application is possible because Ecobond does not require much compaction although some compaction is essential.

Ecobond is very different from and vastly superior to previous chemical soil stabilizers. Ecobond really works if applied correctly.

Ecobond Slab Construction

1. The surface is ripped to the required depth and the Ecobond is sprayed on.

2. The soil is then mixed with Ecobond using a rotovator and/or grader.

3. The Ecobond SoilSlab is then levelled and shaped.

4. Using a heavy roller the Ecobond SoilSlab is then compacted.

5. The final product is a smooth, safe and durable driving surface.
