Performance

Solid Earth is a a proprietary virgin polymer, supported by years of research and field experience, that outperforms other soil stabilizers in durability. It has proven exceptionally resiliant to extreme weather conditions providing significant environmental and health benefits with no leaching impact on water or soil. When mixed with fine aggregates, Solid Earth has a self-healing quality and excellent moisture resistance, allowing it to maintain its structural integrity even when exposed to prolonged wet conditions.

Solid Earth extends the lifespan of paths and roads by 10 to 20 years without harming the surrounding environment.

In collaboration with Arizona State University (ASU) School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, Solid Earth Inc. conducted comprehensive testing to evaluate the performance of its unique soil stabilizer. The tests covered strength, durability, resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, moisture damage, wind erosion, and environmental impact. Utilizing both industry standards and innovative testing protocols, the results confirmed that Solid Earth provides excellent erosion resistance and durability, reducing maintenance costs for long-term infrastructure. It is particularly effective for structural pavement layers and dust control.

Performance Data

MEASURE

RESULT

Durability

ASTM D559). Weight loss < 4.9% and good dimensional stability. 3 times better than industry limits.

Strength

(ASTM D2166) 3.5 times more than conventional materials.

Wind Erosion
(Portable In-Situ Wind Erosion Laboratory). Erosion is sustained at 90% and 84% for 12 m/s and 16 m/s, respectively.
Environmental Testing

Minimal impact on groundwater contamination, with tested chemicals remaining within acceptable levels.

Wellbeing

We are passionate about applying science to enhance well-being for people and communities. Our goal is to build strong pathways that connect individuals with their communities, livelihoods, and cultures in harmony with their surroundings.

Solid Earth enhances the life quality and health of communities by significantly reducing mud, soil degradation and overall dust pollution. It is non-toxic and does not add harmful pollutants to groundwater or surrounding vegetation.

Unlike other paving methods, it is applied by simply mixing the solution with indigenous soil and water providing a lower cost and customized design that blends with the surrounding environment serving as an aesthetically pleasing alternative to both asphalt and concrete.

The product is applied through a cost-effective and time-efficient method that requires no specialized equipment. Local contractors can easily install and profit from Solid Earth’s personalized advisory and training services, promoting local economic growth and job creation.

Environmental Stewardship

Solid Earth provides significant environmental and health benefits and will not contaminate groundwater or the subsoil. Environmental testing by Arizona State University (ASU) School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, validates that Solid Earth does not add harmful pollutants to groundwater or surrounding vegetation, reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship. With its combination of superior performance and minimal environmental footprint, Solid Earth stands out as a premier option for soil stabilization and dust control.

Our proprietary liquid polymer contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’S)
or substances including Magnesium Chloride and Calcium Chloride that can have detrimental effects on plants and wildlife. ASU testing shows all chemical compounds below or within US Standards and Regulations.
