Ionic Soil Stabilizer for Roads and Earthworks

The ENFIRME Ionic Soil Stabilizer is a liquid surfactant compound organically derived from sulfonic acid. It was developed by a team of scientists and geologists to solve instability problems caused by water, air, and traffic in soils on roadways.

It acts at the molecular level: it breaks down the film of water absorbed by soil particles, changes their polarity through ionization, and induces attraction between particles. This eliminates intermolecular voids, increases soil density, and makes it hydrophobic, preventing water reabsorption.

The dosage ranges from 0.4 to 0.5 milliliters per cubic meter of soil, depending on the plasticity of the material. The exact dosage is determined through laboratory testing (such as the CBR reactivity test) for each soil type.

Yes. In diluted form, it is non-toxic and poses no risk to groundwater, flora, or fauna. In addition, the stabilizer becomes encapsulated within the treated material, without leaching into lower layers.

-Reduction of the Plasticity Index (up to 30% in soils with high liquid limit).
-Increase in maximum dry density (3-15%).
-Increase in CBR (California Bearing Ratio) value: up to 400% in clayey soils (A-7-5, A-7-6) and 100% in granular soils (A-4, A-6).
-Unconfined compressive strength: improves by 70-90%.
-Reduction of swelling from water absorption.

-Motor grader with scarifiers (e.g., CAT 14G).
-Water tank with pump (6,000 to 10,000 liters).
-Rollers (pneumatic, vibratory, or sheepsfoot, depending on the soil).
-Rotovator or disc harrow tractor (to break up clods).
-Average output: 300-750 linear meters per day.

1. Preparation: Soil analysis, road design, and product dosing.
2. Mixing: The stabilizer is diluted in water and sprayed evenly over the scarified soil.
3. Compaction: Rollers are used to reach the required density.
4. Curing: Light water application for 5-7 days after construction.

The change is irreversible since a change in polarity occurs. The service life of the treated road increases up to 6 times compared to untreated soil, thanks to the density achieved and its resistance to water and traffic.

It works across a wide range, including clayey soils (A-7-5, A-7-6) and granular soils (A-4, A-6). Testing is performed prior to application to confirm compatibility.

Yes. After final compaction, the road is ready for use. However, it is recommended to correct any deformations with a motor grader before it fully dries.
