ISS 2500
Description	Application rates
ISS 2500 is an electrochemical clay soil stabiliser suitable for improving marginal or substandard soils for use in the construction of roads.	% passing 0.075: <10%	0.01-0.02 R/m²
	% passing 0.075: 10-15%	0.02-0.03 R/m²
	% passing 0.075: 15+%	0.03 R/m²
Benefits
Economical construction method for use in gravel and surfaced roads Increase in compacted densities and bearing capacities Greater use of in-situ material No specialised equipment required Treatment is permanent Roads can be opened to traffic immediately

Preparation
Establish the suitability of the soil prior to construction Fill the water bowser and then add the required amount of ISS
Application
Scarify area to 150-200 mm depth Large clods or agglomerations to be broken to max 50 mm Add the required amount of ISS directly to the water bowser with the moisture needed to bring the material to optimum moisture content (OMC) for compaction. If the material is at OMC, a minimum amount of 1litre water/m² should be used Spray the ISS-water mixture over the entire area in multiple passes The area is to be thoroughly mixed until OMC is achieved Should more moisture be required after the application of the ISS to achieve OMC, use clean water At OMC, the area should be levelled and compacted to required density Any exposed ISS-treated areas should be lightly watered twice daily for three days or until covered
