At Cypher Environmental, we’re driven to create innovative products that improve project safety, operational efficiencies, and your bottom line. ROAD//STABILIZR® is a high quality, lasting soil stabilizer with a lot of other benefits — like saving money. If you’re looking for ways to cut down on operating expenses, create a safer work environment, deliver lasting results, and help the environment, then ROAD//STABILIZR® is for you.
What is ROAD//STABILIZR®?
ROAD//STABILIZR® is a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and long-term soil stabilization solution made specifically for high clay content materials.
Cypher Environmental created ROAD//STABILIZR® to improve the engineering properties of the road and soil by increasing the density and California Bearing Ratio (CBR), which further reduces permeability and swell.
How does ROAD//STABILIZR® work?
The combination of organic catalysts, electrolytes and surfactants in ROAD//STABILIZR® work by acting on the clay component from the soil and releases water to create a more compacted road. ROAD//STABILIZR® manipulates the clay to bind the materials permanently, which increases the road strength, wear resistance, and endurance of the road.
After applying ROAD//STABILIZR®, the clay particles in the soil are no longer attracted to water, allowing for any water in the soil to drain away freely.
The initial curing time for ROAD//STABILIZR® is seven days, but continues for 28 days. Once compaction has started, traffic can use the road simultaneously — safety permitting. The road will benefit from traffic, which provides additional compaction.
What are the benefits of ROAD//STABILIZR®?
Increased and lasting compaction on clay-based materials.
- Reduced dust on roads and construction site after using ROAD//STABILIZR®
- Improved visibility on construction sites due to reduced dust generation after treatment.
- Reduced risk of occupational diseases and potential safety hazards or accidents due to the high concentration of dust and dust-raising.
- Proven environmentally friendly and non-toxic to roadside vegetation.
- More durable road surface during and after wet weather.
- Requires only conventional construction equipment for application.
- Improved surficial roughness.
- Applied easily through standard water spraying equipment.
- Displayed positive results from many third-party lab tests, showing enhanced engineering properties after ROAD//STABILIZR® treatment.
- Minimized future rutting and erosion of the subgrade, base and running surface materials.
- Roads performed better in wet weather and during spring break up.
- Biodegradable in 28 days, but provides lasting effects of stabilization – one application lasts for years.
How does ROAD//STABILIZR® save my company money?
- Use in-situ materials over traditional materials like aggregate and gravel.
- Achieve long-term maintenance reductions from increased and lasting compaction of clay-based soils.
- Vehicles using the treated road consume less fuel due to reduced deflection of the stabilized surface.
- Use conventional construction equipment instead of specialized equipment.
- Decrease long-term maintenance.
- Gain longer roadway life to serve traffic during and following construction.
- Save by shipping an extremely concentrated solution and dilute on site.
How is ROAD//STABILIZR® applied?
Rip pavement to the desired treatment depth.
Pre-dilute ROAD//STABILIZR® and apply to soil with a standard water truck as early as possible until you reach the Optimum Moisture Content (OMC). Even distribution of ROAD//STABILIZR® is essential for consistency and soil stabilization.
Mix ROAD//STABILIZR® with a road reclaimer, blade mixer or similar machinery.

What are third-party reports saying about ROAD//STABILIZR®?
Metropolitan District of Quito Work Report
Over 90% of the densities were achieved the same day of the application with a single pass over of a vibrating compactor and compressor machine.
During the constructive process of stabilization, no generated negative impact was made to the environment, because the product used, ROAD//STABILIZR® is 100% environmentally safe.
The results present a net saving of approximately 28% (from using ROAD//STABILIZR® and opposed to conventional technology)
Shenhua Open-pit Coal Mine Work Report
After the construction of ROAD//STABILIZR® road, the fuel consumption of trucks decreased by 17.4%.
The onsite dust in the pit decreased more than 60%, significantly reducing the concentration of dust on the production site, improving the visibility of the site; thereby reducing the risk of occupational diseases and potential safety hazards or accidents due to the high concentration of dust and dust-raising.
After one year of the field trial, it has been proved that the strength, flatness and other indicators of the ROAD//STABILIZR® road are all satisfactory.
Tetra Tech Review
ROAD//STABILIZR® was recommended as the preferred proprietary product to stabilize the subgrade for several reasons, including; 1) its applicability to the site soils 2) the significant amount of research into the product, and it’s used to stabilize haul roads throughout the world, 3) ROAD//STABILIZR® stabilized soils are used as the primary riding surface without the need to place gravel, and 4) ROAD//STABILIZR® is cost effective when compared to other products.
Treating the existing subgrade soils with ROAD//STABILIZR® will increase the strength of the subgrade soils by a factor of 2 to 4 or greater, depending on the per cent saturation of the subgrade.
ALS Laboratories Group
ROAD//STABILIZR® was added to municipal drinking water, and aside from turning slightly brown, no harm came to the rainbow trout on toxicity reports.
