ROADBOND EN 1:
Replace Lime In Clay Sub-Grade Soil

ROADBOND EN 1 is used in lieu of lime to stabilize clay subgrade soils.  The advantages over lime are a 60% to 70% savings in material cost.  It is also placed, mixed, compacted, and finished in one operation without the need to remix.  Many projects are placed and paved in less than 5 days!

Lab tests and field trials have been conducted on high P.I. clay soils in order to evaluate the effectiveness of ROADBOND EN 1.  The general findings are that ROADBOND EN 1 improves the strength of clay soils and the strength improves over time.   Also, the dry weight of the treated soil increases slightly and the treated soil is 2-times less permeable than untreated soil and 4-time less permeable than lime treated soil.
