How It Works
Ultrabind interacts with water and solids to rapidly improve material handling and stability:
- Contact – Applied directly to slurry, soil, or dust-prone surfaces
- Binding – Granular formulation bonds with fine particles and solids
- Moisture Control – Excess water is absorbed or released as needed
- Stabilization – Material becomes more stable, stackable, and manageable
Transforms difficult-to-handle materials into controlled, usable solids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, bound Ultrabind material has been shown to improve plant and tree growth, making it suitable for remediation projects. Unlike traditional binding agents that can inhibit vegetation, Ultrabind creates a porous layer that allows more water and air to penetrate the soil while reducing erosion. This dual function (stabilization plus supporting revegetation) makes it particularly valuable for hydroseeding, mine site reclamation and erosion control projects where long-term ecological recovery is a goal.
UltraBind is designed to bind the solids rather than absorb and retain all of the water. Once activated, the polymer forms a matrix with the solids with up to approximately 33% porosity, allowing a substantial amount of moisture to be forced out similar to squeezing water from a sponge.
Because the product is typically applied at less than 1 kilogram per cubic metre, it adds very little mass to the treated material. The result can be less water transported with the solids, reduced risk of liquefaction, easier loading with equipment in use already on site, and no increase in pH or other chemical additions that make the disposed product toxic. Actual savings depend on the material, application rate, hauling distance, and disposal-site requirements.
No. Ultrabind is designed to use water as an activation mechanism, so rain or irrigation can help reactivate the polymer’s bonding action rather than simply diluting or washing it away. This enables the treated surface to maintain a stable, porous matrix that binds soil particles while still allowing water and air movement.
For dust suppression and road stabilization, this moisture reactivation can reduce the need for frequent water-truck applications potentially reducing water use by up to 90% compared with conventional dust-control practices. In slope-stability and hydroseeding applications, the same binding action helps hold soil and seedbed material in place, reducing erosion and loss of fine material during rainfall or irrigation while supporting moisture infiltration needed for vegetation establishment.
Performance will depend on soil type, slope angle, rainfall intensity, traffic, application rate, mixing, and site preparation. Pilot testing is recommended for demanding slopes or critical erosion-control applications.
Ultrabind is a dry granular polymer that is mechanically mixed into slurry to bind and thicken solids for easier handling, transport, reuse, or disposal. Its core chemistry is similar to Gel Flocculant blocks: both are designed to bind suspended or dispersed solids while using water primarily as the medium that brings the polymer into contact with those solids.
Gel Flocculant blocks are partially hydrated and engineered to gradually release the flocculant into effluent streams, and other flowing-water applications. Their primary function is liquid clarification.
Ultrabind is intended for solid treatment. It binds soil and slurry particles into a stable, porous mass for dewatering, transport, stabilization, dust control, or reuse. As the solids bind together, excess water is released from the matrix. Because many suspended solids become incorporated into the bound material, the released water is typically clearer as has the suspended solids are already bound in the solid mass.
In short, the products are complementary: Ultrabind is used to bind and stabilize solids and slurries, while Gel Flocculant blocks are used to clarify water by removing suspended contaminants from a flowing or contained water stream.
Absorbent polymers primarily capture and hold water, sometimes up to 400 times their own weight, but they do not adhere to the solid particles. This can leave the water trapped inside the material, increasing its weight and creating potential liquefaction issues during transportation.
Clearflow UltraBind polymers use a small amount of water for activation and create a bond with and between the solid particles. Rather than simply storing water, UltraBind forms a bound, porous matrix that over time releases much of the excess moisture. This can reduce material weight, transportation risks, and haul-and-tip costs.
