FCM
Polymer Modification for Cementitious Stabilizing
FCM or Flexi-C-Ment builds strong flexible pavements in rural roading, motorways, highways and construction sites.
Using Flexi-C-Ment you can significantly lower construction costs by the reduction of aggregate demands, decreased construction times, decreases in ongoing maintenance and, a significant reduction in the loss of expensive replacement aggregates.

FAST FACTS
With the continual need for improvement, Gravel Lock developed Flexi-C-Ment a polymer modification for traditional cementitious stabilizing agents. Our aim was to modernize the way aggregates are stabilized with the added benefit of saving time, money and natural resources. Using Flexi-C-Ment your engineers can increase the amount of cement without the worries of fatigue, brittleness and water ingress whilst increasing tensile, flexural and CBR strengths.
​
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Flexi-C-Ment can yield a 50% reduction in overall pavement depth compared to traditional construction methods.
Flexi-C-Ment lasts longer – up to 1.5-3 times than traditional construction method Significantly reduces or eliminates shrinkage and cracking generating higher tensile, flexural, and compressive strengths for the same cement content.
Improved workability for construction crews, safe and easy for construction crews to use - Not heated like foam bitumen methods.
Where construction times are limited, trained applicators can install up to 6000sqm per day of finished pavement
Rehabilitation, recycling and strengthening of existing granular pavements.
Where there is limited local material, Flexi-C-Ment can be milled with the insitu material to bring up marginal pavement gravels suitable for purpose, improving and modifying organic and non-organic subgrades and base course layers.
Enhanced resistance to weathering and improved long term durability with respect to high temperatures, high rainfall and freeze thaw cycles.
Provides the customer with a water resistant pavement.
Where construction water availability is limited, brackish water is able to be used.
Rapid curing at ambient temperatures.
