SOIL SOLUTIONS

Epex Soil Solutions delivers a new approach to road construction.  The technology creates a stable, waterproof base layer even before a top coat is added. It’s been proven in building sustainable roads efficiently and effectively, worldwide.

​

Developed and optimized by leading chemists and engineers in the specialty chemical business, Epex Solutions, offers SST’s PM-50 and PM-70 products as the leading solutions for civil engineering works.

​

​Most environmentally friendly soil solution materials in use today are polymer emulsions dispersed in a water base.  The two most prevalent types are based on either acrylic esters or vinyl acetate.  Both monomers are esters and are dispersed in water.  An initiator/catalyst is added, and these molecules will react with each other to form long chains of polymer within the emulsion particles.

Why Epex Soil Solutions?

  • SAVES TIME:  Cuts construction time up to 50%

  • CUTS COSTS:  Saves up to 30% during construction and 50% or more on maintenance costs.

  • DURABLE:  PM-70 maintains its elasticity long after other road surfaces begin to break down, ensuring the road surface remains intact.

  • VERSATILE:  Uses existing soil to create a stable, durable, and waterproof structure, making it well suited for rural, industrial or oilfield roads.

  • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY:  Requires no heat, practically eliminating energy consumption during construction and maintenance

  • SAFE:  Non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-allergenic, non-flammable

  • QUALITY:  PM-50 and PM-70 are first generation, custom blended products for the customer’s specific soil type

  • PM-50 is an Eco-Safe biodegradable liquid co-polymer used to obtain a stable and waterproof base layer foundation prior to sealing.


PM-50 is available as an opaque or black polymer. PM-50 is a high performing stabilization agent that physically and chemically bonds soil, caliche, and dewatered oilfield waste to improve compressive strength, high tensile resilience and water permeability.

 

PM-50 is designed for use with:

  • Oil field service roads, pads, facilities

  • Rural, industrial and farming roads

  • Subgrade materials such as clays, silt and sand

  • Natural or manufactured granular pavement materials

  • In situ recycled pavement

  • Base and sub-base layers of public streets and highways

​

​PM-70 is an environmentally safe formulated liquid co-polymer engineered for use in civil construction for sealing.  It works as a sealant as well as a high performing stabilization agent.


PM-70 is also available as a clear opaque or black polymer. PM-70 is also a high performing stabilization agent that physically and chemically bonds soil and other materials to improve surface flexibility, high tensile resilience and water permeability.


The key areas to use PM-70 as a polymer seal and/or stabilization agent are:

  • New road construction surface sealing

  • Sealing or stabilizing oilfield roads, pads, pits, facility foundations

  • Sealing or stabilizing rural roads, industrial roads, farm roads, road shoulders

  • Stable, flexible, waterproof surface to reduce or prevent ruts and potholing

  • Improved skid resistance and decreased rolling resistance

  • Significant dust reduction
