Liquid Polymer for soil conditioning in Tunnel Boring Machines

EUCON SC12 is a lubricating polymer in liquid form, which is typically used under normal to difficult ground conditions such as ground containing fine sand, silt or clay with high water content. EUCON SC12 is used where the water content in the soil is elevated and foam alone is inadequate to modify the soil properties.

Features & Benefits

• Reduced permeability and increased sealing at the face
• Creation of plastic deformation properties in the soil which provides an even and controlled support pressure and increased face stability
• Environmentally friendly and ready to use
• Lower inner friction and lower abrasiveness of the soil at the cutter head through to the screw conveyor
• Increased cohesion of coarse, clean sands and gravels, therefore smoother soil extraction
• Strong viscosifying effect, turning wet soil into a more manageable consistency

Applications

• Soil conditioning in EPB shield Machines
• Poorly graded or silty ground conditions

Packaging

EUCON SC12 is available in standard 5 gal (18.9L), plastic pails, 55 gal (208 L) drums or 275 gal (1041 L) totes
