The problem:
unsealed roads fail through surface wear, most significantly when the 'sheeting layer' disappears slowly in a cloud of dust. Because of this, material loss unsealed roads are a large consumer of natural materials
(Centre for Pavement Engineering Education)
.
Australian-made solution improves outcomes
Real-time results taken from 14 different
PolyCom treated
unsealed roads in NSW and VIC during 2017 showed actual averaged reductions in material loss of 84% in comparison to adjacent re-sheeted roads.
Ravel test methodology is available here.
Results of PolyCom treated vs untreated
Data averages show PolyCom treated roads lost 84% less road material than untreated roads
A single 2kg bottle treats 50m

of road materials.
Conclusion
Treating unsealed roads in-situ with PolyCom and blending existing materials makes for a safer more sustainable unsealed road network that requires 4-6 times less maintenance grading. Call 1800 790 907 or visit

Benefits of PolyCom
Financially sustainable
Environmentally compliant
Reduced purchase of re-sheet materials
Less trucking by using in-situ materialConsiderable reduction in fuel use
OHS compliant
Less repeat work
Reduced sediment run off from roadsReduces mud and dust
Use existing crew and machinery
Treated roads are less slippery when wet
