•These long chain molecules bind, by coating all particles; creating protection from the elements.

•The product is activated by compaction, and does not require water.

•Surfaces can maintain the “Natural” look while being as strong, yet more flexible than asphalt.

•Should you want to move your creation; no problem, this product is 100% Recyclable – pick it up and move it to its next area for use again
