High-Performance Copolymer Emulsion for Large-Scale Dust Abatement
TerraGlue® is the industry’s premier value-engineered liquid copolymer, designed to provide professional-grade erosion control and dust suppression at a competitive price point. As a high-performance alternative to TerraTac®, TerraGlue® offers an eco-safe, biodegradable solution for stabilizing soils and aggregates across commercial, industrial, and military sectors.
The Science of Stabilization: Nanoparticle Technology
TerraGlue® is engineered with long, nanoparticle molecular structures that link and cross-link to form a complex, three-dimensional matrix.
-
Bonds Particulates: Creates strong physical bonds between soil particles and aggregates.
-
Flexible Crust: Forms a resilient surface that resists the mechanical stress of vehicle traffic.
-
Permeable Protection: At modest application rates, it creates a surface crust that remains permeable to air and water while effectively suppressing PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter.
-
Deep Penetration: At higher application rates, the polymer penetrates deeper into the sub-base, creating a durable "wear course" capable of withstanding intense environmental conditions.
Versatile Application & Performance
TerraGlue® is designed for topical application using standard water trucks or spray equipment. It is the "go-to" solution for:
-
Haul Roads & Construction Traffic: Creating dust-free driving surfaces.
-
Stockpile Capping: Preventing wind erosion and material loss.
-
Air Quality Compliance: Maintaining visibility and meeting strict EPA dust mandates.
-
Erosion Control: Stabilizing embankments and clearing/grubbing sites.
Technical Validation & Safety
GeoCHEM, Inc. maintains full transparency with our testing data. TerraGlue® has been subjected to rigorous laboratory and field evaluations to ensure it meets the highest standards for performance and environmental safety.
