Stabilisation Coverage Table
Soilbond® needs to be added at a ratio of 2% to the dry weight of the material being treated.
To a treatment depth of 50mm, 2 litres of Soilbond needs to be added to each 1 m².
Refer to the Stabilisation Coverage Table for more information.
Application Rates
Standard application rate of 2% suits most installations
Increasing the application rate to 3% will reduce the amount of loose fines on the surface and permeability
When working with for a slope / grade of 5 degrees or 1:12 or more, please contact us
Product Application Guidelines
Soilbond stabiliser / binder requires application as follows:
1. stockpile mixing; or
2. In situ application
Mixing of Soilbond with the Granitic Material prior to laying is preferable, otherwise you need to scarify the top 50mm & mix in the Soilbond then compact using a roller / wacker. We recommend a minimum of 50mm Compacted Depth at 2% per Tonne of Soilbond.
Soilbond stabiliser can be applied using a watering can or hose to spray over the area that has been scarified. It then requires levelling / compacting.
Stockpile mixing – this can be done with a bobcat, front end loader, backhoe, excavator, cement mixer - basically any mechanical aid. Material can then be compacted with a roller / wacker.
Refer to the User Manual for more information.
