  • Patent number: 10407847
    Abstract: Disclosed is a rapid forming intermediate paving material to accommodate efficient movement of heavy loads, including but not limited to heavy loads necessitated by large-scale agricultural operations. Also disclosed is a process for producing such a paving material. Producing such a paving material may be advantageous either preceding or following precipitation events, as cross linking agents allow somewhat rapid formation of a portion of polymer film thus quickly forming a durable surface for said dirt or gravel road.
