PRODUCT SPECIFICATION SHEET
Product Overview
IronEarth is a polymer-based soil stabilizer formulated to permanently bind soil particles, suppress dust, control erosion, and create a durable stabilized subbase. Suitable for roads, trails, work pads, and unpaved surfaces.

Dilution & Mixing
Water-to-Product Ratio
10:1 Standard
Adjust based on soil type and field conditions
Product Volume per Acre
80 gal (10:1)
Typical concentrate usage
Water Volume per Acre
800 gal (10:1)
Dilution water required
Total Solution per Acre
880 gal (10:1)
Total applied solution
The Standard application ratio is 10:1 (water-to-product). However, dilution ratio should be selected based on soil type. Sandy or coarse-grained soils require higher product concentration (lower ratio). Cohesive or clay-dominant soils may tolerate higher dilution. Field trials are recommended for new soil types.
Equipment
Water / Application Truck
2,500–4,000 gal capacity
Size to minimize refill trips; larger capacity preferred for remote sites
Compaction Equipment
5–12 ton ride-along roller
Apply in minimum required passes to achieve target density
A compaction standard (e.g., 95% of maximum dry density per ASTM D698) should be specified for projects requiring engineering sign-off. Contact Green Roads Technologies for project-specific compaction guidance.
Application Process
Drainage
Proper drainage is essential
Makes treated surface nearly impermeable, so proper drainage is critical
Lift Thickness (Loose)
2–6 in.
Loose, pre-compaction depth; will compact to finished specification depth
Application Method
Spray-apply diluted solution
Apply evenly over scarified or loosened soil surface
Grading
Grade to site specifications
Grading should be done for proper drainage
Mixing / Incorporation
Ensure uniform distribution of solution through full treatment zone
Compaction
Compact to specification
Use pneumatic roller; multiple passes as required
Cure Time
3–5 days
Under normal temperature and humidity; allow full cure before traffic loading
Weather & Storage Conditions
Minimum Application Temp.
45°F (7°C)
Do not apply if temperatures are expected to drop below 45°F during cure window
Avoid Application During
Rain or imminent rain
Standing water will dilute solution prior to cure
Storage
Protect from freezing
Store at ambient temperature in warehouse conditions. Product may be damaged if stored below 35°F
Shelf Life
2 yrs
Up to 3 yrs in ideal conditions
Surface Preparation & Bonding
Asphalt / Chip Seal Prep
Apply diluted IronEarth solution
Moisten existing surface prior to overlay; use standard working dilution
Application Rate (Bond)
Consult project specifications
Rate and dwell time depend on existing surface condition and overlay type
For asphalt or chip seal bonding applications, contact Green Roads Technologies for project-specific dilution rate and dwell time guidance prior to overlay placement.
