Abstract:

In British Columbia's central interior, production of tall oil-based road-surface stabilizers, which are coproducts of the kraft pulping process, began in 1990. One product, a tall oil pitch (TOP) emulsion, was applied as a test to a 5.1-km section of unpaved forest road near Prince George, British Columbia, in May 1992. The Forest Engineering Research Institute of Canada cooperated with the British Columbia Ministry of Forests' Prince George Forest District to evaluate the emulsion's performance on the forest road. Road-surface conditions and dustfall were monitored, and information about application procedures and costs, aggregate gradation, climate and traffic conditions, and maintenance procedures was collected.
