Dunning Custom Soils - Organic-Lock

A revolutionary high-performance organic binder for water permeable, environmentally-friendly, decomposed granite and other aggregate surfaces.

Organic-Lock^TM is the product of extensive scientific research. The result: an environmentally-friendly binder that resists erosion while simultaneously remaining water permeable and maintaining strength and stability.

Available with the following aggregates

Grey Granite

Birdseye

Sonoma Gold Fines

Grey Decomposed Granite

Benefits

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Our environmentally friendly Organic-Lock^TM binder is the strongest organic binder on the market today. Organic-Lock^TM is made from 100% naturally occurring materials.

WATER PERMEABLE

On contact with water, Organic-Lock^TM creates a gel that binds the aggregate particles together and allows excess water to pass directly through to the groundwater table.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE

When installed to specifications, Organic-Lock^TM blended aggregates qualify them as wheelchair accessible and Organic-Lock^TM meets the maneuverability performance requirements of ASTM F 1951-09b.

RESISTS EROSION

When activated by water, Organic-LockTM forms an adhesive gel which bonds aggregate particles together while still allowing water to permeate through to the ground below. Organic-Lock^TM is particularly effective on sloped surfaces where pathways and other surfaces are most prone to washouts and rutting due to fast moving water.

SELF-HEALING

Organic-Lock^TM blended aggregate surfaces remain completely flexible and able to withstand thermal movement or settlement of the sub base materials. In conditions where cracking does occur, rain water reactivates the Organic-Lock^TM allowing the surface to self-heal and naturally fill any cracks making it a very low maintenance pathway stabilizer option.

SIMPLE MAINTENANCE

Maintenance is easy. The material can be re-worked by adding water first (which reactivates the Organic-Lock^TM gel allowing for physical manipulation), followed by scarification and re-compaction.
