Chemical Injection vs Lime


Chemical Injection vs Lime Stabilization

Not all soil treatments are created equal. Lime stabilization has been the go-to for decades, but it doesn’t go deep enough to handle the high-swell CH clay found across Texas. ProChem’s injection solution offers a smarter, deeper fix. Our ionic treatment permanently changes the way clay reacts to moisture—helping you build faster, with more confidence, and without the long-term risks that come from shallow lime work.

ProChem Injection Solution

  • Penetrates up to 15 ft for deep clay treatment
  • Permanently alters clay polarity to prevent swell/shrink
  • Backed by UT-Arlington studies
  • Safe, food-grade, non-toxic formula
  • Installs fast – up to 30,000 sq ft/day
  • No excavation required

Lime Stabilization

  • Typically shallow treatment (12–18 inches)
  • Does not address deeper CH clay behavior
  • Time-consuming mixing and curing process
  • Potential handling hazards (dust, caustic nature)
  • Not effective long-term in highly expansive soils
  • Higher labor and equipment costs
