- Application
Application rates primarily depend on the on-site soil and target hydraulic conductivity (permeability.) One or more permeameter and/or barrel tests using the on-site soil provide the best method of determining the correct TMP Custom Sealant - to soil mix. Proper mixing and compaction are essential for a good seal. Prehydration is necessary if the facility will hold fluids other than clean water.
Properties
- Typical Properties
- Conditions
*TMP Bentonite is in its natural dry state at this moisture. Due to a smaller flake size, and a higher montmorillonite (clay) content, TMP bentonite has more retained water in its internal molecular structure than similar Wyoming types, while the bulk density is the same.
