Particularly adapted for helicopter landing pads and airfield surrounding areas, TerraLOC finds its ideal field of application on flat (or moderately sloped) terrain having no vegetation or gravel. It is also ideal for unpaved roads, housing developments, agriculture roads, road shoulders, mining operations, coal & minerals transportation, graded construction areas, and construction projects.

Airborne dust also presents life threatening dangers daily to US troops in the Middle East while causing sometimes irreparable damage to equipment. The facts are clear and indisputable:

• In a 34-month period of time, the US suffered 123 casualties because of helicopter crashes.  Only 37% were due to hostile activities; the remaining 63% were the result of accidents. Dust and its effects, including brown outs, mechanical blocking and erosion of blades, have directly contributed to most of these disasters.
• Numerous of incidents of jammed weapons have inhibited soldiers in critical situations.
• Transport vehicles experience more breakdowns and require more frequent maintenance because of airborne sand.
• It is important to point out that the aborted attempt to rescue hostages from Teheran in 1980 was directly caused by a brown out.

But there is an answer to these problems.
TerraLOC™ is an environmentally friendly, water soluble dust palliative that penetrates the soil, virtually locking down particles that would otherwise become airborne by wind or rotor wash. After curing, TerraLOC acts like a net, impregnating the unbound or un-compacted soil with an overlay that can be strong enough for sustained vehicle traffic or aircraft take-offs and landings.
