FCM
Polymer Modification for Cementitious Stabilizing
FCM or Flexi-C-Ment builds strong flexible pavements in rural roading, motorways, highways and construction sites.
Using Flexi-C-Ment you can significantly lower construction costs by the reduction of aggregate demands, decreased construction times, decreases in ongoing maintenance and, a significant reduction in the loss of expensive replacement aggregates.

FAST FACTS
With the continual need for improvement, Gravel Lock developed Flexi-C-Ment a polymer modification for traditional cementitious stabilizing agents. Our aim was to modernize the way aggregates are stabilized with the added benefit of saving time, money and natural resources. Using Flexi-C-Ment your engineers can increase the amount of cement without the worries of fatigue, brittleness and water ingress whilst increasing tensile, flexural and CBR strengths.
​
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Flexi-C-Ment can yield a 50% reduction in overall pavement depth compared to traditional construction methods.
Flexi-C-Ment lasts longer – up to 1.5-3 times than traditional construction method Significantly reduces or eliminates shrinkage and cracking generating higher tensile, flexural, and compressive strengths for the same cement content.
Improved workability for construction crews, safe and easy for construction crews to use - Not heated like foam bitumen methods.
Where construction times are limited, trained applicators can install up to 6000sqm per day of finished pavement
Rehabilitation, recycling and strengthening of existing granular pavements.
Where there is limited local material, Flexi-C-Ment can be milled with the insitu material to bring up marginal pavement gravels suitable for purpose, improving and modifying organic and non-organic subgrades and base course layers.
Enhanced resistance to weathering and improved long term durability with respect to high temperatures, high rainfall and freeze thaw cycles.
Provides the customer with a water resistant pavement.
Where construction water availability is limited, brackish water is able to be used.
Rapid curing at ambient temperatures.

XTM
HSC
XTM
Topically applied Stabilizer and Dust Suppression Product
XTM Xtreme is a liquid polymer stabilization and dust suppression product that can be diluted with water and sprayed onto road surfaces or graded straight into the pavement to create a durable, water resistant ware layer that, once set, requires minimum maintenance and can be topped up as required.

FAST FACTS
XTM is a cost effective top down alternative to the traditional methods of stabilizing pavements. Using XTM considerable savings can be made particularly when working in remote areas as the significant reduction in imported materials, reduced truck movements, faster construction times, lower labour costs and a smaller carbon footprint all have the potential to save your client substantial construction costs.
​
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Easy to install – fill your water truck and spray from the top minimising the need for costly construction equipment.
Roads can be trafficked immediately after application. After the initial applications, maintenance applications can be applied if and when required. With each application the dust particles are further bound together, preventing them from becoming airborne.
Treated roads can be maintained by a light maintenance grade and a top up application if required.
XTM can be diluted to lower the frequency of watering for dust control, saving precious resources. Where construction water availability is limited, brackish water is able to be used.
XTM enhances resistance to weathering and improves long term durability with respect to high temperatures or high rainfall and provides the client with a superior water resistant, dust free, skid resistant surface.
XTM can be used on many soil types as part of a regular maintenance regime contributing to fines maintenance preservation by extending intervals between both gravel replacement and grader blading as it keeps the fines in the pavement where they should be and ultimately keeps good roads good.

HSC
Hygroscopic Eco-Friendly Cement & Dust Suppressant
HSC is an Eco-friendly Cement which is a self-healing, hard wearing soil stabilizer and dust suppression product that can be used in the construction of both temporary and permanent haul roads. As well as being a cement stabilizer, HSC is a dust suppression product. Being hygroscopic, HSC is able to draw moisture into the pavement keeping it dust suppressed, well bound, compact and maintenance free.

FAST FACTS
HSC is an eco-friendly cement stabilizer and dust suppression product which is environmentally benign and biodegradable and able to stabilize and solidify most types of soil or aggregates.
HSC keeps excessive moisture out but allows the pavement to hold high enough moisture content to make a self-compacting, self-healing, strong, dust free pavement.
HSC is a non-hydraulic setting cement and once cured produces a strong, wear resistant unsealed pavement.
​
HSC can be sealed at a later date – up to 24 months.
HSC contains waterproofing agents to create a durable, water resistant matrix
​
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Compatible with most soil types – an eco-friendly, resourceful and inexpensive solution.
Where there is limited local material, HSC can be mixed with the insitu material to modify and improve marginal or substandard material.
Provides a cement stabilized and dust suppressed pavement which draws in moisture keeping the pavement compact and well bound for extended periods.
HSC is successful at suppressing dust to PM10 standards.
HSC improves the engineering properties of the treated material and is proven to eliminate the cost of grading and re-sheeting.
On a Gravel Lock road, aggregate quantities were reduced by 40%.
Roads construction is quicker, resulting in dramatic savings for the client and greatly improved productivity for construction crews and owners.
Long lasting, the product can also be rejuvenated and reworked with a maintenance grade.
Dose rates can be increased for more demanding environments.
Increases CBR strengths.
