JMG Responds
JMG Enterprises,Inc. has been blending and manufacturing
emulsion products used in dust control and soil stabilization for the
last 15 years.
During the new millennium
JMG retained the services of
emulsion experts, laboratories, and
Research & Development personnel
to develop a line of emulsion products
that are:

extremely stable

easy to apply

proven environmentally safe

reasonably priced
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility provides absolute
quality control and dependable consistency.
Ultra Bond 2000
TM
Ultra Bond 2000 is a specially engineered formulation
of water based emulsified resin designed for use as a dust
suppressant for soil stabilization. It has been effectively
used on state, county, township and city roads and has been
particularly effective in mining and heavy manufacturing
applications such as rock quarries, coal mines, truck terminals
and steel mills. Ultra Bond 2000 :
TM
TM
•
Consolidates the road surface
• Reduces Loss of Road Material
• Dust and Erosion
•
Lengthens Maintenance Intervals
Health & Safety
Ultra Bond 2000 is a light brown colored liquid with no
objectionable odor. Under PennDOT regulation, Ultra Bond is not
classified as a hazardous substance.
The emulsion is water-base, and there fore poses little in the way of
fire hazards. Analyses of Ultra Bond confirm that it does not contain
any of the family of RCRA or PA Module 25 metals above trace
concentrations. Bioassays for daphnia and trout have successfully
demonstrated its effectiveness in environmentally sensitive applications.
Ultra Bond 2000TM is a non-placarded materials for transportation
which has received approval for the use on the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania roads.

Environmental Safety
SPLP and PCB
Ultra Bond 2000 has been evaluated under the protocol
for the Synthetic Precipitation Leach Procedure [SPLP] and
evaluated against PA DEP Module 25 release limits to ensure
that there are no elemental releases that may cause
environmental harm.
Polychlorinated biphenyl compounds were also
subjected to characterization under this test protocol. None
of the seven PCB compounds were present above the
experimental detection limits of 4 parts-per-billion.

Environmental Safety
Acute Ceriodaphnia dubia and Oncorhynchus mykiss
Survival Tests
To demonstrate that storm run-off from roadways treated with Ultra Bond
2000TM will not harm aquatic life, both the “Acute Ceriodaphnia dubia
Survival Test” and “Acute Oncorhynchus mykiss Survival Test” were run on
an emulsion/water mixture typically used in practice.The Maximum Acceptable
Toxicant Concentration [also reported as ChV, the Chronic Value] for the
96-hour rainbow trout test for survival and growth were 1060 and 214mg/L,
respectively. For the 48-hour Median Lethal Concentration [LC50] a value of
1060mg/L was measured. The EPA rates the LC50 of >100mg/L as “practically
non-toxic.” The parallel studies indicated that the daphnia were slightly more
sensitive with Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentration [also reported as
ChV, the Chronic Value] for survival and reproduction measured at 212 and
76mg/L, respectively. Median Lethal Concentration [LC50] was measured at
924mg/L.
Ultra Bond-sand composite
electron microscopy
SEM studies performed by the Materials Research Laboratory at PSU reveal
that “Ultra Bond has coated the sand and has formed bridges between the
particles and that Ultra Bond is not fracturing cleanly but is rather gradually
failing in a more ductile manner. This suggests that the Ultra Bond, even
when dry is retaining some plastic characteristics. These bridges are likely
responsible for the development of strength in the cured composite.”
Sweep Samples
Union County, PA
The Center for Dirt & Gravel Road Studies together with the Bald Eagle State
Forest District has been monitoring the effectiveness of dust suppressants on a
stretch of White Deer Creek Road, Union County PA. The pictured samples
represent the loose material collected on areas where JMG Emulsion products
were applied and the buffer sections in between, where no product was applied.

Product application
The three basic methods of applying
Ultra Bond 2000 are:
TM
– Topical Application
– Mini Stabilization
– Full Depth Stabilization
and incorporation
Successful
product application performance
depends upon:
– Thorough preparation of the site
• Road surface must be free of ALL irregularities
• If geo-textile is required it must be in place and fully
completed
• If stabilization is to be performed, the surface to be milled
must have adequate depth (7-8”) as not to interfere with the
milling process
• All water control measures must be completed
• Required equipment must be on site and ready to work
(i.e. roller or grader)
Topical application

Road preparation
(prior to application)
– Proper road profiling and
crowning

Any required equipment
(i.e. roller) must be on
the site and ready to
work on the date of
scheduled application.
“Mini Stabilization”
Scarification Method

Proper road preparation
– If DSA is being used,
it must be in place prior
to scheduled application
– Proper water control measures
must be completed prior
to scheduled application
– Any required equipment
(grader, roller) must be
on the site and ready to work
Mini stabilization process

The Mini Stabilization Method steps:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Thoroughly scarify the aggregate or road base
Injection of Ultra Bond 2000 stabilizing agent
Wind row the injected road material
Feather the surface
Repeat the injection, wind row, & feathering
process UNTIL the road material reaches the
optimum moisture content of 6% to 7% (one can
make a “meatball” out of the road material when it
reaches this consistency)
Final profiling / crowning
Roll for optimum impaction
Top shoot
Return in 10-14 days to top shoot final dressing
TM
Full depth
stabilization / incorporation

Steps of the process
– All water control measures must be completed
– Geo-textiles (if appropriate) must be completed
– All large rocks or other foreign materials must
be removed (pre-scarify to a depth of 7” – 8”
if necessary)
– Full depth milling
– Inject Ultra Bond 2000 stabilizing agent
– Repeat full depth milling
– Re-inject Ultra Bond 2000 stabilizing agent
– Make determination if optimum moisture
content (6% - 7%) is achieved
– Repeat milling only if necessary
– Proper profiling / crowning
– Roll
