Application
The binder is used to stabilize the top layer of pedestrian and bicycle paths and to protect them from water erosion and dust.
Requirements for aggregate
The crushed stone must meet certain requirements before mixing, because the binder reacts only with the smallest particles of the pavement.
Production
The binder is obtained industrially by separating psyllium husks from seeds and milling them to the powder.
Properties and mixing ratio
Swells when in contact with water, shrinks when dry. As a rule, 6 kg of binder is added per ton of aggregate, depending on the slope of the pavement and the composition of the crushed stone.
