Polymer road solutions using DUS-900 Polymer road construction solutions 

use DUS-900 polymer technology to provide service roads, car park areas, airstrips or helicopter pads. 

DUS-900 is the chosen polymer replacement for asphalt roads and sub base improvement to provide better load bearing capacity in poor soil conditions. 

DUS-900 Road construction technology The contractor is now able to provide quick and easy solutions to the regions challenges, especially on poor sand and low CBR (California Bearing Ratio) sub bases including: Construction of all-weather roads from locally available soil (local soil assessment required) with improvement in engineering properties of the polymer stabilized road. 

Simple easy to implement, no special equipment required, regular road compaction equipment will be used to construct the road. Avoid/minimize the cost of importing material. Improved CBR ratings especially in areas with high fines content, local testing of optimum moisture content enables DUS-900 technology to be tailored to the specific project. Reduction in downtime compared to traditional asphalt and cementitious solutions with comparable life expectancy (with planned maintenance).

Benefit The DUS-900 treated soil showed an 80% CBR improvement. When tested for wet UCS values, the untreated soil generally, after soaking, had zero strength and became completely dissolved in the water bath whereas the DUS-900 treated soil resisted the degradation. 

The surface will be water resistant once DUS-900 is cured. The constructed polymer road will withstand heavy traffic use.
