Vital Bon-Matt Stonewall

About

Vital Bon-Matt Stonewall is a multipurpose, water-based polymer erosion and dust control agent. Designed for applications over soil and other open surfaces where strong, durable and flexible surfaces are required to abate erosion. A concentrated liquid formulation, Vital Bon-Matt Stonewall is diluted with water prior to application to create long-term surface binding and sealing, reducing dust emissions during extreme wind and resisting mobilisation during rainfall events.

Vital Bon-Matt Stonewall is an environmentally sustainable and cost effective solution in comparison to conventional methods of erosion control and dust suppression. Vital Chemical’s renowned polymer technology provides instant ground cover and stabilisation in a wide range of applications on dust prone surfaces and areas of soil erosion including:

• Haul roads and unsealed roads;
• Civil earthworks;
• Construction sites;
• Trafficked areas;
• Sub-grade stabilisation;
• Areas of exposed soil, sand or aggregate;
• Broadacre;
• Stockpiles;
• Tailings dams;
• Rail wagon veneering;
• Berms and swales;
• Clearwater diversions and pond linings;
• Hazardous substance isolation (asbestos, contaminated soils and land).

FEATURES
• Highly effective dust suppressant;
• High wind speed resistance;
• Highly effective erosion control and stabilisation;
• Instant ground cover;
• Long-term capping;
• Environmentally sound product;
• High molecular weight polymers;
• Australian owned and manufactured.

Sustainability Outcomes

Utilising Vital Bon-Matt Stonewall (Stonewall) during infrastructure development can result in considerable cost and water savings via decreased road surface maintenance, lower demand for machinery and subsequently less wear and tear and equipment wash downs. Stonewall can significantly minimise the volume of water typically used for stabilisation and dust abatement which may help in achieving L1-3 in Wat-1 ISv1.2 and ISv2.0.

Providing the highest levels of soil stabilisation and control of challenging dust and other erodible surface emissions in areas of harsh environmental conditions, Stonewall cures within hours and will not remobilise. Offering immediate potential for reducing sediment discharges to receiving water and improved air quality, it may allow the opportunity to achieve L1-3 in ENV-1 and ENV-4 ISv2.0.

A non-hazardous formulation that is quick and easy to apply whilst providing instant ground cover of up to 85% (data referenced from “Assessment of Soil Stabilisation Compounds – Final Report”, June 2013, SEEC & Landloch). Stonewall has undergone extensive environmental and toxicity assessments safeguarding the health and safety of workers, nearby residents, waterways and aquatic life. The use of Stonewall to stabilise soil erosion during construction and operations contributes to functioning ecosystems and may be a factor in attaining L1-2 in ECO-1 ISv1.2 and associated ISv1.2 and ISv2.0 credits.
