SoilTech is a biopolymer manufactured by MetaFLO Technologies for soil stabilization<\/h2>\n\t

A bio-based soil stabilizer that strengthens roads, reduces maintenance, increases longevity while optimizing and reducing costs in the stabilization process.<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDiscuss your project\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSee how it works\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t

In plain terms<\/h4>\n\t

SoilTech<\/strong> is a marine algae-derived biopolymer made by MetaFLO Technologies that stabilizes soil on mining haul roads, agricultural and forestry logistics roads, and in base, subbase, and\u00a0subgrade<\/strong>\u00a0layers for roads, industrial yards, heavy-duty pavements, and civil infrastructure projects. It cuts operational costs by\u00a0up to 25%<\/strong>\u00a0by reducing equipment passes by 30-50%, and is applied with a water truck at 0.01-0.03% by dry soil mass, one of the lowest application rates of any commercial stabilizer.<\/p>\n\t

What is SoilTech?<\/h2>\n\t

SoilTech is a biopolymer derived from marine algae, developed by MetaFLO Technologies for\u00a0\ud1a0\uc591 \uc548\uc815\ud654<\/strong>. It is a liquid, water-soluble solution that interacts with any type of soil and can also be used for the stabilization of tailings resulting from mineral extraction.<\/p>\n

The solution acts on two fronts: it provides lubrication, which reduces the number of equipment passes by\u00a030-50%<\/strong>, helping to reduce costs by up to 25%. It increases cohesion between soil particles, decreasing soil voids and achieving high density; the result is a stronger, more durable road structure that needs less maintenance.<\/p>\n

SoilTech can be used on its own or combined with aggregates or cement in projects with higher\u00a0CBR<\/strong>\u00a0requirements, helping reduce material costs and carbon footprint without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n\t

What problems does SoilTech solve?<\/h2>\n\t

Most unpaved roads on mine sites, agricultural operations, and remote infrastructure projects struggle with weak soil performance, frequent maintenance, erosion, high aggregate consumption, and elevated stabilization costs.<\/p>\n

SoilTech helps improve road longevity by increasing soil stability and reducing the number of equipment passes required during construction. This lowers fuel consumption, equipment wear, labor hours, and overall operational costs.<\/p>\n

Depending on soil conditions and project requirements, SoilTech can also reduce imported aggregate consumption by 30-50% and cement usage by\u00a050-95%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t

How does SoilTech work?<\/h2>\n\t

SoilTech works through two complementary mechanisms. During soil mixing and compaction, the solution acts as a lubricant between soil particles, allowing them to rearrange more efficiently and achieve higher compaction densities with\u00a030-50% fewer equipment passes<\/strong>. This can reduce stabilization costs by\u00a0up to 25%<\/strong>\u00a0through lower fuel consumption, reduced equipment wear, and improved construction efficiency.<\/p>\n

As the treated soil cures, the biopolymer forms a cohesive matrix that binds soil particles together, reduces void spaces, and increases density. The result is a stronger, more durable structure with improved resistance to raveling, erosion, deformation, heavy traffic, and extreme climate conditions.<\/p>\n\t
