Condor SS is a Sulphonated oil product derived from a petroleum industry's waste product. Sulphonated oil is particulary effective as a soil electrolyte because of its high chemical stability with powerful ionizing capabilities.
Simply stated sulphonated oil ionizes the excess water found in expansive clay soils, which vigorously exchanges its electrical charges with the soil's particles, causing the water to adhere to the particles to break its electrochemical bond and seperate, thus becoming free water, which drains through gravity, evaporation, and compaction.
Because of textural changes caused by these reactions within the soil, the strength and moisture stability of these soils is improved and swelling is reduced.
