Applications
Our advanced soil stabilization products are ideal for a variety of applications, from public road pavements to hardstands and lay-down areas, right through to unsealed haul, rural and service roads.
TeraFil PCM is designed to provide greater resistance to tensile failure, increase overall strength and prevent cracking. This is a revolutionary polymer stabilization technology specifically developed for use with either pozzolanic agents such as cement or lime.
By offering a greater resistance to tensile failure TeraFil PCM can provide savings, by enabling significantly reduced pavement thickness.

Verifiable Infrastructure ROI: Reduce Maintenance to Once Per Year.
Our Advanced Polymer Sealants Provide Superior Compressive Strength and Water Impermeability.
TeraFil’s specialized polymer solutions are engineered to chemically and physically bond pavement materials, dramatically improving compressive strength and water impermeability. This provides long-term stabilization for haul roads, access tracks, and temporary runways. By reducing the need for continuous grading and watering, clients realize substantial operational cost benefits and minimize material loss.
- Fatigue crack reduction
- Induced crack reduction
- Shrinkage crack reduction
- Water proofing
- Increase compressive strength
- Increased tensile strength
- Increased resilient modulus
- Reduced pavement thickness
Our Stabilization Portfolio: Engineered for Every Soil Type and Project.
Utilizing Acrylic and Long Chain Polymers for Maximum Surface Integrity.
We offer a full spectrum of stabilization agents to match any site requirement. Our Acrylic Polymers (like GRT7000) are designed for surface sealing to prevent windborne material loss and surface degradation, drying clear for aesthetic integrity. Our Long Chain Polymers provide robust, deep-penetrating stabilization for sub-grades and pavement layers, minimizing dust and creating resilient roads built to last.

Road Rehabilitation & Social & Economic Benefits
TeraFil stabilization products transform end of life, out of spec roads and pavements into safe, durable infrastructure, in a cost effective manner.
All roads and pavements age and are compromised over time or by increased traffic volumes, resulting in a range of symptoms including dust, potholes, rutting, corrugation or total pavement failure. This can also result in vehicle accidents, can cut off communities, and impact on the flow of goods people.
With TeraFil’s polymer soil stabilization technologies, you can alleviate these very real social, environmental, and economic concerns.
Soil STABILIZATION Processes
TeraFil stabilization products can either be in-situ blended into the existing road material or added into new materials through a pugmill at a quarry or stockpile site.
All roads and pavements age and are compromised over time or by increased traffic volumes, resulting in a range of symptoms including dust, potholes, rutting, corrugation or total pavement failure. This can also result in vehicle accidents, can cut off communities, and impact on the flow of goods people.
Materials are then spread, compacted and trimmed to required design specification. With a skilled crew able to lay an impressive 75,350 square feet per shift, it can offer significant savings that range between 4 and 10 times cheaper when compared to traditional bound pavements such as asphalt and concrete.
