T-PRO® 400HT is cost effective and easy to use. The product cures rapidly resulting in minimal traffic interruption for completing road stabilization and repair. The polymer solids are applied in solution and as the water evaporates during curing, the polymer molecules coalesce and form strong bonds between the soil and aggregate particles. The benefits of T-PRO 400 HT include:
- Longer lasting roads
- Less rutting, spalling and raveling of road surface
- Erosion control
- Dust suppression and particulate emission control
- Reduced infiltration and improved run-off
- Increased load bearing capacity
- Increased road smoothness and ride quality
- Decreased wear on vehicles
- Easy to install
- Low-maintenance
- Non-toxic and non-hazardous
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Applications
- Limitations
Product performance is based on vehicular traffic, soil properties, and proper drainage on and adjacent to the road surface. Some soils do not lend themselves to stabilization with polymers and exhibit poor performance in long term applications. Performance criteria should be established at the beginning of the project to delineate limitations of the application as a function of project specific variables. If questions arise, check with Terratech technical department prior to use.
- Installation
- The Terratech design team focuses on each client and each project individually to develop protocols that suit the job and the site conditions. Terratech designs, tests and develops the best methodology for each project to meet the performance objectives. Based on project performance objectives, there are two primary means of polymer application, infused and topical.
- The infused application involves the mechanical intermixing of liquid polymer solution with the soil subgrade to a single lift thickness of 4 to 6 (8 to 15 cm) inches which is then compacted in place and left to cure for a minimum period of 72 hours, based on temperature and other ambient conditions. The topical application consists of a sprayed in-place polymer solution over a prepared subgrade. The application requires a minimum of 24 hours of cure time.
- The topical installation may involve a single spray-on application or several successive applications with varying polymer concentrations based on the infiltration characteristics of the soil profile.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Composition
T-PRO® 400HT is a proprietary blend of high performance polymers and additives designed to bind soil particles into a cohesive matrix. T-PRO 400HT is a unique, environmentally friendly product designed to stabilize soil and create improved surface conditions of unpaved roads. It poses neither physical nor health hazard and is therefore considered non-hazardous according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Hazard Communication Standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. The non-hazardous characteristics of the polymer can be classified as:
- Environmentally safe
- Non-leaching or dissipating
- Non-hazardous
- Non-toxic to animals
- Non-inhibitive to plant growth
- Non-flammable
- Non-corrosive
- Non-tracking
Safety & Health
- Environmental Data
T-PRO® 400HT is a water based dispersion of an latex copolymer. It is not classified as a “Hazardous Chemical” as defined by the OSHA Hazard communication standard 29 CFR 1910.1200. T-PRO 400HT has no eco-toxic effects, is non-bioaccumulative, and poses no long term health effects when properly handled in accordance with manufacturers instructions. T-PRO 400HT is:
- Water based
- Non-combustible
- Non-reactive
- Stable under recommended storage conditions
T-PRO® 400HT may contain low levels of VOC’s or ammonia which evaporate during application and drying and therefore should always be handled in a well ventilated space. Standard personal protection rules apply when working with polymers, eye and skin protection should be worn when working with any type of chemical substance.
Packaging & Availability
