Case Study: Superior Road Stabilization with T-PRO® in Northern British Columbia
Project Overview Lithic Industries successfully treated a remote section of road in Northern British Columbia with a topical application of T-PRO® Polymer Seal Coat. Designed specifically for dust control and wear-course stabilization, this project delivered lasting performance where traditional methods had consistently fallen short.
Project Objectives The primary goals were to:
The Challenge Previous maintenance practices relied on calcium chloride and magnesium chloride for surface stabilization and dust suppression. In Northern British Columbia’s wet climate, these water-soluble chlorides created serious problems: slick, slippery surfaces during rain, washout of fines, rutting, and accelerated loss of road material. The result was higher maintenance costs, frequent re-graveling, and ongoing safety and environmental concerns.
The Lithic Solution Lithic Industries recommended T-PRO® as a high-performance, non-water-soluble polymer alternative to chlorides. Engineered for superior binding and durability, T-PRO® creates a stable, dust-free surface that resists moisture, traffic wear, and environmental stress delivering longer-lasting results with far less upkeep.
Proven Results The benefits were immediate and measurable. Shortly after application, the local road maintenance contractor observed:
Even more impressive, the T-PRO® treated section required zero maintenance following a heavy rain event that occurred shortly after construction—proof of its superior performance in real-world northern conditions.
