PERMA-ZYME 'S ADVANTAGES
Perma-Zyme lowers the surface tension of water which promotes fast and thorough penetration and dispersal of moisture. This action causes hydrated clay particles to be pressed into and to fill the voids throughout the soil, thus forming a tight, dense permanent stratum. The increased lubricity of soil particles allows the designated soil density to be reached with less compaction effort.
Perma-Zyme reduces, by as much as 25%, the amount of water required to reach the optimum moisture level of the soil since it promotes rapid saturation and inhibits surface evaporation. The Perma-Zyme cementation action increases the soil bearing characteristics by promoting a closer binding of soil particles. This reduces the tendency of the soil to expand after compaction and results in a strong, stable earth layer. By achieving greater bonding density, soil materials resist migration of water. A properly treated Perma-Zyme base becomes almost impervious to water penetration and much more resistant to frost heaving.
Road builders can now construct a new road base using existing soil materials without trucking in additional aggregate (if sufficient fines are present). Mixing Perma-Zyme with the top 5 or 6 inches of soil will produce a road base that has more strength and less permeability than can be attained with any other treatment. If imported material is needed, less expensive, dirty aggregate is a requirement. The dirty fines are needed to bond the material together. Dirty here means 15% to 20% cohesive fines passing a 200 mesh screen. The best part is that only 15 gallons of Perma-Zyme is needed to treat one mile of a 25-foot wide roadway (6 inches deep).
Perma-Zyme can be applied over a wide weather and locale range. From near freezing to hot summer days, from a rain forest to a desert, from lake bottom to an earthen dam, Perma-Zyme will provide superior results. New or existing roads treated with Perma-Zyme to the recommended depth will retain a tough, rupture-resistant surface that requires minimal maintenance, often requiring no additional "dressing" for a number of years.
Perma-Zyme is sold in liquid concentrate form. This eliminates the bulk storage, pre-mixing and handling of large amounts of materials. It will not corrode equipment. Perma-Zyme is non-toxic. It requires no special handling equipment and no special containment procedures as required with toxic and/or corrosive agents. It does not irritate skin tissue and causes no rashes or burns. Perma-Zyme contains no combustible materials, is non-explosive and can be used near open flames. It is non-gaseous and can be stored in poorly ventilated areas. It will not harm humans, animals, fish or vegetation under normal use and is totally biodegradable.
