IN-FIELD RESEARCH: CALCIUM CHLORIDE AND RECYCLING

Spread on a reclaimed base, liquid calcium chloride penetrates the surface material, coating and binding together the fines and small gravel particles present. This binding action stabilizes the surface, keeping the base dense and compact. Since a calcium chloride solution is highly resistant to evaporation, it helps keep the base damp, holding particles closely together even on the hottest, driest days. The base formed is tight enough to prevent penetration by water from rain or melting snow.
