MasterRoc ACP 230

Next-Generation Clay-Separating Polymer for Earth Pressure Balance Tunnel Boring Machines (EPB-TBM)

Material Description

MasterRoc ACP 230 is a liquid polymer, specially designed for clayey soils with clogging and adhesion. The use of MasterRoc ACP 230 eliminates stickiness & adhesiveness of the clay, allowing easy and convenient transport of muck and reducing the risk of TBM blockage.

Characteristics and Benefits

• Breaks down clay, reducing its stickiness and adhesiveness, even under conditions of pressure and high temperature of the cutting head and in the mixing chamber

• Reduces the torque and increases TBM speed

• Avoids the formation of lumps which can block the cutting head

• Permits the reduction of separately injected water to decrease the torque

• Facilitates the evacuation of muck by screw conveyor & conveyor belt.

• Ready to use product, no mixing required
