Only info i can find is from the manufacturers

No, but will check.

RE: CON-AID CBR-PLUS

the product literature reads like you are applying a defloculent.  It seems like something that is sprayed onto an otherwise messed up subgrade that you then have to work throughout the soil.  Adding a liquid to a wet subgrade may allow for a disruption to the diffuse double layer, but you'd then have to let the excess water go somewhere. . .

I'd think a good dosing of Calgon would do about the same thing and I'm not even sure that that would work!

I'd be interested in a third-party engineering review and would likely be the skeptic anyhow.

f-d

Agree with fattdad...have seen similar that were, in essence, snake oil.
