A Substantial Pavement-Ready Base Layer Stabilization
An engineered, polymer-based stabilization system for base and subbase layers, ONLY from Midwest.
Midwest leads by innovation. While traditional methods have a place, today unpaved roads and gravel bases require more durable, modern stabilization solutions. Midwest answered the need by developing advanced chemistries to stabilize existing gravel or unpaved roads in preparation for chip sealing or asphalt paving. This proprietary polymer Base and Subbase Stabilization System improves base strength, reduces aggregate needs, and provides greater performance and durability.
Upgrade unpaved roads for chip seal or asphalt by stabilizing in-place soil and aggregate to a depth of 4-6". Midwest engineered this alternative to other chemical and mechanical stabilization products to improve load capacity and durability while reducing cracking, moisture damage, and freeze-thaw damage. Only Midwest delivers a pavement-ready platform with lower lifecycle cost.
Upgrade to a durable base with superior load-bearing strength and consistent performance for longer service life.
Midwest solves problems. Unpaved roads are typically unstable and subject to a loss of fines, rutting, and damage from water and freeze-thaw cycles that compromise the surface. Traditional methods like Portland cement can’t compare to the Midwest Base and Subbase Stabilization System, which uses low-carbon footprint, fast-curing polymers for a flexible bond that’s safer to apply.
It’s now possible to create a strong, moisture-resistant 4-6" foundation layer that reliably supports a chip seal or asphalt surface. You gain higher strength, greater flexibility, and complete surface-readiness by blending Midwest nanotechnology polymer innovation into in-place materials using standard graders, reclaimers, zippers, and mixers.
These engineered improvements strengthen and stabilize existing unpaved or gravel roads, serving as a structural upgrade beneath the asphalt or chip-sealed surface. This Base and Subbase Stabilization System is also commonly used with proven success for industrial roads, utility access roads and pads, oil and gas site access roads, and wind and solar infrastructure roads.

Third-Party Proven Performance
Others claim, Midwest proves. Midwest’s polymer stabilization technologies have been independently validated in a comprehensive, three-part study conducted by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). This published evaluation demonstrated the following key performance outcomes when stabilizing base course aggregate with Midwest’s technology:
- Increased Strength — Substantial increase in resilient modulus compared to untreated base
- Freeze-Thaw Durability — Maintained mechanical performance after 10+ freeze-thaw cycles, confirming superior all-weather reliability
- Versatility — Substantiated in the field to improve strength and durability in variable soil types
- Cost Efficiency — Enabled up to 50% reduction in base course thickness, minimizing material and hauling costs
- Longevity — Improved long-term road performance while aligning with environmental and maintenance goals
- Deformation Reduction — Significantly decreased permanent deformation under dynamic loading conditions
- Moisture Resistance — Eco-Pave E (ACE-A) and Soil Sement EF (ACE-B) retained strong bond strength retention and moisture resilience, even in saturated conditions
Midwest Base and Subbase Stabilization System is trusted by DOTs, engineers, and contractors because our accomplishments are tested and documented, not merely promised.
