AV-550 Soil Strengthener
AV-550 Soil Strengthener™ is designed to permeate and stabilize various types of soil. This hydrophobic polyurethane increases the load bearing capacity of permeable soil by greatly increasing the cohesion between soil particles and by filling void areas in the soil. The uncured resin is a dark brown liquid which reacts with water. AV-550 is typically used with AV-551 Soil Strengthener Cat™ to control the cure time. When the reaction occurs, a slight expansion of the resin is noticeable, and the material quickly cures which is impervious to mild corrosive environments and microorganisms.
AV-551 Soil Strengthener Cat is the catalyst designed exclusively for use with AV-550 Soil Strengthener. Typically, up to one container of AV-551 is used per pail of AV-550. Depending on the desired reaction time, AV-551 may be doubled.
APPLICATIONS, FEATURES, AND BENEFITS OF AV-550:
- Stabilizes soil to prevent soil erosion, sink holes, sinking foundations, and infiltration of water and silty soils under
concrete slabs, roadways, and other structures - Solvent-free system
- Controllable reaction time with AV-551 Soil Strengthener Cat
- Withstands wet/dry cycles
- Extremely low viscosity
- Should always be injected into confined soil
