MasterRoc ACP 143

Anti-Clay Polymer for Earth Pressure Tunnel Boring Machine

How Does MasterRoc ACP 143 Work?

MasterRoc ACP 143 is a liquid polymer, specially designed for highly cohesive and adhesive soils such as marl, silts, and clays that contain fine particles.

Recommended Uses:

• MasterRoc ACP 143 anticlay polymer creates a stable foam and can be used with the standard foam generators installed on Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) machines.

• MasterRoc ACP 143 anti-clay polymer is designed to reduce the clogging and adhesion potential of clayey soils.

• MasterRoc ACP 143 anti-clay polymer can be injected at the cutterhead, into the working chamber, or onto the screw conveyor.

What Are the Benefits of MasterRoc ACP 143?

• Reduces clogging and adhesion on the cutterhead

• Creates a plastic soil material that can be easily excavated and transported

• Helps to avoid the re-agglomeration of clay particles

• Reduces cutterhead torque

• Increases TBM speed
