Roads and Roadbed Applications
PX300
replaces traditional road and pad building materials with an
environmentally friendly liquid
polymer-resin product that can reduce road construction and maintenance costs.
When used as a
base, PX300 roads and pads are highly impermeable, durable and
cost-effective.
Read below to learn
more about this outstanding and technologically advanced stabilizer
product.
Building the
PX300 Road
| Mixing Rate:
|
10 to 15 gallons of
water for each gallon of PX300, depending on amount of
moisture in the soil at time of project commencement,
climatic conditions and type of soil
|
| Application Rate: |
Depending
on soil composition, 1 gallon of PX-300 product for each 40
to 66 square feet of project area. (Benchmark: 66 sq. ft.)

|
| Cure Time: |
24 to 72
hours without rain, preferably with exposure to sunshine.
Do not apply if temperature will drop below 40°F during
application and curing process.
|
| Equipment: |
Traveling mixer,
disc or equivalent
Motor Grader with rippers (Caterpillar 12G or equivalent)
Water truck (two preferably) - 3,000 gal. capacity
Double drum roller, 10-12 tons (Hyster C-754A or equivalent)
|
The pictures and text below show the steps involved in a typical project.
|
Step I
PX-300 is poured into a water truck
along with water for spreading the mixture over the area to be
treated. PX-300 concentration in the water carrier depends upon
the moisture of the soil, climatic conditions and type
of soil to be stabilized.
|
|
 |
Step II
A disc (36") fragments and breaks
up
the soil in the area to be treated, to a depth of 5" to
6"
|
|
Simultaneously, the water truck spreads
the PX-300/ water mixture over the area undergoing the disc process.
|
 |
 |
Step III
A motor grader shapes
and compacts the treated area
consistent with the engineering specifications.

Chip
seal over a PX300 stabilized road bed provides a simple and
durable
wear surface for this road in San Bernardino
County, California |
|
This PX300
stabilized roadbed will have a 2 inch asphalt application
instead of the usual 4-6 inches required by traditional
road-building methods. PX 300 stabilization reduces by
one-half the depth of asphalt required for a durable wear surface
for heavy traffic.
