features and Benefits
(Can be used in conjunction with TKF EXPORT FOAM)
Provides effective waterproofing and also greatly improves
production in clean granular material such as gravels, rock, sands
and sandstones (which tend to "lock up" when compressed within the
TBM) by reducing internal friction in the muck mass.
Encourages volumetric mucking (and therefore protects against
surface disturbance).
ALLOWS TRUE EPB CONTROL by producing easy, paste flow condition
in mixed, granular, and difficult ground. Especially effective in
sands and gravels.
Provides lubrication solution in pumped muck conveying systems
(e.g. Putzmeister).
CONTROLS WATER INGRESS AND MINIMISES MOISTURE CONTENT OF MUCK
AWAY: creates a plug in fissured, loose, wet ground when injected
into the face, screw or plenum.
EXCEPTIONALLY ECONOMICAL IN USE: High performance formula means
lower usage and lower muck rehabilitation cost
CONTROLS CLAY SWELLING.
ANTI-SLUMP FOR WET MUCK - allows better payloads on muck
away.
PREVENTS CLAY STICKING to muck bins, buckets etc.
GREATLY REDUCES SETTLEMENT AND HEAVE : Makes loose or sandy
ground easy to control and helps to ensure exact volumetric
mucking.
POWERFUL LUBRICATING ACTION: reduces cutterhead torque .
AIDS MUCK PUMPING
VERSATILE: can be applied neat, in water solution, or in a foam
or mist.
MUCK REHABILITATION AND SPOIL RE-USE: Consult Morrison Mud for
advice on further treatment to impart suitable engineering
properties for muck-re-use.

How To Use
Typical concentration: 0.1% to 0.4% of the water or foam
solution. Can also be injected neat into the screw or plenum to
create a seal. Contact Morrison Mud for detailed advice on using
this product in your TBM.
If it is not fitted with foam generating and additive dosing
equipment, or you need to upgrade, we can supply and install these
at low cost.
