​MasterRoc ACP 143​

Anti-clay soil conditioning polymer for tunnel boring machines (TBM)​

​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:
  • Creates a stable foam and can be used with the standard foam generators installed on Earth Pressure Balance (EPB) machines.

  • Designed to reduce the clogging and adhesion potential of clayey soils.

  • Can be injected at the cutterhead, into the working chamber, or onto the screw conveyor.​

What are the unique features of MasterRoc ACP 143?​​

  • Reduces clogging and adhesion on the cutterhead

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

What are the benefits of MasterRoc ACP 143?

  • Helps to avoid the re-agglomeration of clay particles

  • Reduces cutterhead torque

  • Increases TBM speed
