It is not a synthetic polymer resin and not formulated or marketed as a polymer product.
It contains no sugars, molasses, or carbohydrate based binders. This distinction is essential for understanding its durability, biodegradation profile, and regulatory classification.
Hydrogel Bonding & Matrix Formation
The hydrogel fills pores and initiates progressive cementation, blocking pore throats while densifying and hardening over time. This permanently reduces porosity and significantly lowers permeability.
As the system matures, ionic crosslinking forms durable chemical bonds, creating longterm cementation. The formulation allows deep penetration before gel set, ensuring uniform coating of soil particles and continuous matrix formation—critical for sealing connected pore pathways.
Soil Types
Penetration
WSA14TSB wet component drives active agents deep into sand and gravel matrices.
WSA14 rapidly disrupts continuous water pathways and reduces hydraulic conductivity.
Matrix Densification
The MATRIX dry blend forms a cementitious, low permeability structural layer that resists hydrostatic pressure and traffic loads.
