“Lithification Technology”
Mother Nature turns soil into rock over hundreds of thousands or even
millions of years when certain naturally occurring chemicals found in the
earth’s crust, come together along with optimum moisture content, heat and
pressure. Sand turns into sandstone, clay turns into slate and other various
soil combinations turn into rock. This process is called lithification.
The Bionic Road Solution™ is a proprietary formula that duplicates this
process with penetrating agents, accelerators and surfactants to turns soil
into a rock-hard, water resistant surface in just 24 hours!
The challenge for all “soil stabilizers” it that there are over 2000 types of
clay and countless combinations of soil types involving variations in sand,
silt, clay and rock causing hit and miss results at best.
The top three elements found in the earth’s crust consists of oxygen, silicon
and aluminum. They always combine to form aluminosilicates, which are
minerals composed of aluminum, silicon, oxygen and countercations.
The Bionic Soil Solution dissolves silicon and aluminum ions and the
neighboring silicon and aluminum hydroxide molecules, which then undergo
a condensation reaction. This reaction causes the “monomers” and other
silicon and aluminum hydroxide molecules to poly-condense or polymerize,
to form rigid chains or nets of oxygen bonded tetrahedral. The physical
properties of the soil can often approach and sometimes even exceed the
structural strength of concrete. Laboratory testing with Bionic Soil
Solutions™ has demonstrated unprecedented CBR results well over 100,
which measures the strength and load bearing capacity of a road after it has
been submerged under water for 96 hours, which simulates a road
submerged in a flood for 4 days. The ASHTO and ASTM testing standards
determine this to be the most severe conditions a road should have to endure.
