BIG-FOOT® Polymer Slurry is a soil stabilizing polymer. It is an easy mixing, 100% active polymer packaged as a granular powder. As the star of the BIG-FOOT® polymer SLURRY SYSTEM it is formulated to make a viscous slurry fluid fortifying the most challenging soil conditions.

Due to its concentrated formula, small amounts of BIG-FOOT mixed with fresh water builds high viscosity. BIG-FOOT is ideal for drilled shafts, macro and micro-piles, slurry trenching, diaphragm walls, Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), reverse circulation (RC) rotary drilling and tunneling.


The BIG-FOOT polymer slurry system is NSF Certified, Caltrans approved, and FDOT approved.

The BIG-FOOT slurry advantage offers unequaled performance in all types of soil conditions and environmental challenges.
●    Superior design and performance compared to existing bentonite and polymer drilling slurries.
●    Greatly reduces soil destabilization due to slurry migration and radial seepage into non excavated soils.
●    The slurry’s best performance properties are quickly recovered for re-usage by adding small product dosages.

 

Enhance BIG-FOOT Performance To Meet Any Challenge. Additives, Chemicals, Testing Equipment & Mixers

Your MATRIX representative will recommend the perfect, easy-to-mix formula for your site geology to ensure maximum product performance and results. MATRIX Construction Products has an extensive portfolio of products that are well-matched with BIG-FOOT® polymer that reinforce and enhance the functions of the drilling slurry when the geology demands. That focus extends to our slurry drilling products and additives to help customize excavation construction efficiencies and mitigate problems.  Mixing instructions for these products link the effects that pH, chlorine levels, contaminant levels, mix water behavior and other restrictions have on the performance as listed by MATRIX Construction Products on each products data sheet.  

From FORTIFY® Slurry Loss Additive used to help create a membrane film at the sidewall of the excavation to apply positive differential load against the formation of the sidewalls - to M-BOOSTER® Dry pH Adjuster used to pretreat the mix-water prior to adding BIG-FOOT® Polymer Slurry to insolubilize calcium from mix-water and groundwater, raise pH, and regenerate BIG-FOOT polymer that has been damaged by extreme carbonate alkalinity. MATRIX offers a solution.

MATRIX Certified Authentic BIG-FOOT® testing equipment and slurry mixers are also available, including: Slurry Test Kits, Slurry Samplers, Marsh Funnels, Test Strips, and Slurry Mixing Hoppers to name a few.
