- Features
It is a dry, fine-grain silicate chemistry listed as US EPA Best Demonstrated Available Technology (BOAT) for stabilizing heavy metal wastes, such as lead (Pb).; This product is also extremely effective on cadmium, barium, zinc and copper contaminated waste streams.; Because of its effectiveness, it had been used successfully on thousands of tons of heavy metal contaminated soil.; Its chemistry has a proven long-term stability benefit.; You can apply it at low dose rates and have peace of mind knowing that the soil remediation waste will remain stable, always.; It is a derivative of the same chemical formulation as that found in our Blastox product.; Its smaller particle size provides more reactive surface which is beneficial when stabilizing heavy metals for contaminated soil remediation projects.; Due to the low dose rate and competitive pricing, it is becoming an effective resource for many engineers and also project managers.
- Availability
It is manufactured at TDJ's facilities in the Chicagoland area and sold through distributors.. Product is available in bulk, super sacks and 70 lb multi-walled paper bags.
- Restrictions
Material must be kept dry until preparations are made for field application.
