PERMA-ZYME
Perma-Zyme is a complex non-bacterial concentrated multi-enzymatic formulation that alters the properties of earth materials, providing one of the most cost-effective methods to stabilize roads and seal ponds and landfills.
WHAT IS PERMA-ZYME
Perma-Zyme is one of the world's finest products for road stabilization and pond and/or landfill sealing. Although it has been available for the past 10 years on an experimental basis, due to a recent major expansion in manufacturing capacities Perma-Zyme is now available for the first time to the commercial and industrial marketplace. Perma-Zyme , a concentrated enzyme formulation, alters the properties of earth material to produce superior road base stabilization compared to all other road treatment materials now in use. Developed and proven through many years of field testing, Perma-Zyme provides additional advantages to road builders, communities and the environment by being non-toxic, non-corrosive and totally biodegradable.
When mixed with water and applied prior to compaction, Perma-Zyme acts upon organic fines contained in the soil through a catalytic bonding process, producing a strong cementation action. Unlike inorganic or petroleum based products which temporarily hold soil materials together, Perma-Zyme causes the soil to bond during compaction into a dense permanent base which resists water penetration, weathering and wear.
This process takes place in 72 hours under normal summer conditions.
In addition to creating a new and better way of building and maintaining roads, Perma-Zyme is being used successfully in the construction of lake beds, mine leach pads, ponds and landfill liners, wherever there is a need to increase the load-bearing capacity of the soil and to reduce the plasticity and permeability.
