ROADBOND EN 1:
Used to Improve the Benefit of Portland Cement & Flyash

ROADBOND EN 1 is used to enhance the effect of conventional stabilizers such as Portland cement and fly ash.  This means the amount of conventional stabilizer can be reduced by 40 to 50% without a corresponding drop in strength.

Many tests clearly indicate a significant strength gain when ROADBOND EN 1 is used with conventional stabilizers.  The Texas DOT conducted strength tests on sandy gravel base and 4% flyash, with and without ROADBOND EN 1.  The result was an increase from Class II base with fly ash alone to Class I base simply by adding ROADBOND EN 1 to the mix design.

Advantages

• Saves 25% To 35% Of The Cost Of Conventional Stabilizers
• Significantly Reduces Reflective & Block Cracking Commonly Associated With Portland Cement Stabilization
• No Down-Time Waiting For Third Party Vendor To Deliver Bulk Material
• Reduces Water Requirements By 15% To 25%
• Reduces The Impact Of Portland Cement & Flyash Shortages & Delivery Restrictions
• Save Time, Money, And Natural Resources

While Portland cement is a very useful and necessary product, there are four major concerns when using it:

• Cost Per Square Yard
• Reflective Cracks That Lead To Maintenance Problems
• Construction Delays Due To Shortages
• Portland Cement's Use Is Generally Limited To Lower P.I. Granular Soils

ROADBOND EN 1 reduces or eliminates each of these problems & provides a better end result for less money. Our product will save construction dollars and more importantly maintenance dollars by reducing reflective cracks without compromising the strength and durability of the pavement structure.  It is simple, safe and easy to use and requires no additional construction steps or procedures. While it may be tempting to remain with flawed but accepted practices, the benefits of ROADBOND EN 1 are difficult to ignore.
