 Road Oyl with Sprayer Unit



 
Road OylŽ is a patented (U.S. Patent No. 4,822,425) resin-modified emulsion
that provides a cold applied high performance treatment for bare earth or unpaved surfaces such as stockpiles or unpaved roads. Formulated from tree
resin ingredients, this state-of-the-art, non-ionic emulsion technology is unique in its high bonding strength and is appropriate for use even in close proximity to wetland areas and other areas of environmental sensitivity. Road OylŽ provides the clean, high performance technology needed for any type of project requiring dust control and soil stabilization.

Originally developed to solve severe dust problems on mine haul roads, Road OylŽ has been used around the world for over 15 years. Utilized in the U.S. Military in Turkey and Somalia, landfills in Los Angeles, steel mills in St. Louis, coal mines in Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia to gold mines in Indonesia.

Since Road OylŽ is made from all natural ingredients harvested on a sustainable basis, it has never had a problem being approved for use in any application or as part of an environmental permit issued to an operating entity such as a landfill, steel mill or mine.

Road OylŽ is versatile and multi-purpose in use for dust control, erosion control, stabilization, shoulder treatments and other specialized applications. It has been specifically designed and proven to be a long-term solution for efficient control of road dust as well as for use on mine tailings and stockpiles. Whether you are creating a landing strip, access road, haul road, hardened surface, trail or have erosion control requirements, Road OylŽ provides a reliable, environmentally friendly binder.

Traffic on a Road OylŽ surface will compact the surface into a smooth dust free pavement-like surface. It penetrates road aggregate and binds it into a surface proven stronger than asphalt. Road OylŽ darkens the aggregate or soil that it's applied to slightly but maintains the same basic look, which makes it desirable in natural settings. Road OylŽ does not track when applied as directed.

What is Road OylŽ?
Road OylŽ is a natural flexible pavement binder emulsion formulated from pine rosin and pitch in water. The pitch and rosin, which comprise roughly 50% of Road OylŽ by weight, are co-produced with other timber products from southern pine in the southeastern United States. Pine pitch is a black, viscous "tar" derived from the distillation of wood; before the development of coal tar pitch. Pine rosin is the residue from distillation of turpentine oil from raw turpentine. The Road OylŽ liquid is brownish in color with mild odor. When rubbed between the fingers, it becomes extremely sticky as the water evaporates.

Environmentally Friendly
Made from all natural products harvested on a sustainable basis, Road OylŽ is non-hazardous and safe for the environment.

Economical
Road OylŽ is shipped efficiently as a high concentrate and diluted with water before application. With its long lasting nature, you spend less time reapplying, saving you both time and money.

Long Lasting
The condition of the road, the degree of Road OylŽ penetration, and the amount of traffic combine to determine the life of a Road OylŽ application. It also helps stabilize the road in winter by protecting the road from water intrusion.
