Drifting sand covers roads, reduces driving safety and makes cities dusty, and keeping it clear costs road and city administrations time and money. TerraSystem's specially developed binder is sprayed onto the sand and bonds the grains at their contact points, so the wind can no longer carry the surface away. Developed and produced in Germany; applied by TerraSystem's own technical crew.
In desert regions the wind moves loose sand onto highways, roads and into cities. Sand hills form on the carriageway, roads get dirty, and visibility and grip drop; in bad conditions this can lead to accidents.
Sand stabilization fixes the sand where it lies. A special adhesive is sprayed onto the sand surface and bonds individual grains to each other only at their contact points. The bonded layer resists thrust and traction forces, so the wind can no longer lift and carry the sand.
Applied by spraying: no excavation, no imported material
Bonds the existing sand in place
Developed, researched and produced in Germany
Wherever loose sand reaches traffic areas or settlements.
Sand-prone shoulders and verges next to the carriageway, where drifting sand builds up on the road.
Open sandy areas at the edge of towns that produce dust in windy weather.
Unpaved sandy areas around plants, yards and access roads.
Sand-prone sections alongside the track, assessed project by project.
Fewer sand hills on the carriageway and better driving safety
Lower cleaning costs for road and city administrations
Less dust in towns
The sand stays where it is: no excavation
Spray application with a specially developed adhesive
Applied by TerraSystem's own technical crew: quality and warranty from the manufacturer
The principle is the same as in TerraSystem ballast bonding: the binder connects the grains only at their contact points.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Application | Spray process onto the sand surface |
| Bonding | Point bonding of single sand grains at their contact points |
| Effect | The bonded surface resists thrust and traction forces; the wind no longer carries the sand |
| Binder | Specially developed adhesive based on the TerraSystem ballast bonding system, produced in Germany |
| Project scope | Area, sand type, wind exposure and traffic are assessed for each project |

Location, area and the problem (sand on the road, dust); photos and a map are enough to start.
TerraSystem engineers assess the sand type, wind direction and traffic.
We recommend starting with a trial section to confirm the result on site.
TerraSystem's own technical crew sprays the binder on the agreed area.
Klar Chem is the authorized distributor of Terra System GmbH in 24 countries. We are your contact for system selection, technical documents, samples and quotes. On every project the installation is carried out by TerraSystem's own technical crew, so workmanship and warranty come from the manufacturer.
Fixing loose sand in place so that the wind can no longer carry it. TerraSystem sprays a special binder onto the sand that bonds the grains at their contact points.
By a spray process directly onto the sand surface. No excavation or imported material is needed.
On sand-prone road shoulders and verges, open sandy areas at the edge of towns and unpaved sandy areas at industrial and logistics sites. Sections next to railway lines are assessed project by project.
It is based on TerraSystem's ballast bonding system and works on the same principle, point bonding of grains, with an adhesive specially developed for sand.
It depends on the area, sand type and site conditions. Send us the location and area and we will prepare an assessment and a quote.
TerraSystem's own technical crew on every project, for quality and warranty. Klar Chem coordinates the project and the quote.
Tell us the location and the area; photos and a map are enough. We will arrange an assessment with TerraSystem engineers.
