MasterRoc SLF 419
Biodegradable, highly stable soil conditioning foam for Tunnel Boring Machines
MasterRoc®? SLF 419 is a high-performance foaming agent, specifically designed to improve the performance and control of the soil through the screw conveyor under the toughest conditions. MasterRoc SLF 419 foaming agent is produced from biodegradable raw ?materials.
Recommended uses:
MasterRoc SLF 419 foaming agent is designed to treat silty and sandy soils. The main application is in the TBM soft ground tunneling. MasterRoc SLF 419 foaming agent creates a highly stable fine foam to hold the face pressure and maintain the rheology of the excavated ground longer than the conventional foaming agents.
What are the unique features of MasterRoc SLF 419?
- Generates fine, uniform, and stable foam bubbles
