APPLICATION OF PROBASE:

Commonly, Probase is use widely to stabilize soft soil for road building. Before it had been use in few

states locally, but now it is use in more than 13 countries worldwide. Since the launch of Probase Road

System back in 1998 with installation at Nam Heng Estate, it than dramatically transformed the living

experience in estates and rural areas. Besides, the Kenya also has been customer and sign MoU worthRM150m worth contract in order to upgrade two stretches of roads measuring 50 kilometres each. It is

the sixth project in Africa after Congo, Ethiopia, Uganda, South Sudan and South Africa.

ADVANTAGES OF PROBASE:

Currently, soil stabilization using chemicals gets more attention than other soil stabilization methods.

This is due to the low cost and convenience of this technique, especially in the geotechnical project that

require a high volume of soil improvement. The objective for soil stabilization technique is to increase

the strength parameters, enhance the loading capacity, and decrease the settlement of the soil.

The uses of Probase soil stabilizer are water-proofing, maintaining the strength, erosion free, dust free,

environmental friendly and economical. Soil sealed with Proseal can effectively prevent water

penetration compared to unsealed roads. Besides, it helps to maintain the strength of the soil. The non-

water soluble layer of protection keeps the road dry. Test results from previous research shows that the

road strength is maintained even on heavy downpour. In addition, rainwater and water can cause

erosion of 75 mm per year without sealing. The usage of Proseal may prevents erosion, saving cost on

resurfacing while protect the environment. Finally, the protective layer of Probase virtually turns the soil

road into a dust-free environment.
