• Preventing costly soil erosion caused by destructive wind conditions.

• Reducing vehicle maintenance costs by lowering the levels of dust that clog filters, bearings, and machinery.

• Reducing the cost of cleaning vehicles, equipment, property, vegetation, and living sites.

BEFORE Dust Control Unpaved Road Without Dust Control

How Does Dust Control Work?

Dust Control is a liquid magnesium chloride based product that...

• is hygroscopic (attracts moisture). The ability to attract moisture provides maximum control of dust.
• is used as a binder for a variety of adhesives and specialty cements. The binding action creates the most dense, compact surface possible.
• is very slow to leach. A single application will last from three months to one year depending on the application, soil type, and traffic.
• is environmentally friendly. Dust Control is naturally produced through solar evaporation from West Texas resources.

Where is Dust Control Used?

Preventing Dust Has Several Advantages!

1. Increases working life of equipment exposed to airborne particulate matter, especially motors.

2. Improves safety operations due to better visibility.

3. Improves health of operators due to reduced dust exposure.

4. Reduces spread of airborne infections on dust particles, and becomes especially important in confinement livestock operations, as well as for people.

5. Dust can usually be controlled by sprinkler applications of water. Dust control agents such as magnesium chloride or other moisture holding substances (hydrophilic material) can be applied with water and provide semi-durable dust control that greatly reduces the amount of water needed to control dust.

6. Using dust control agents prevents loss of materials from treated surfaces, reduces dust complaints, and on road surfaces significantly reduces maintenance costs. Dust loss from roads is actual loss of road material, leading to deterioration, rough roads, and potholes.

7. Dust that settles on vegetation creates an environment conducive to red spider mites, banks mites, spotted mites, grass mites, and other dust mites. Many of these mites are thought to cause allergy and respiratory problems. Controlling dust prevents these conditions.

Liquid Magnesium Chloride Vs Liquid Calcium Chloride

A.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride holds 6 molecules of H2O compared to calcium that can hold 2 molecules.
B.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride is safer to vegetation.
C.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride is less corrosive than calcium chloride.
D.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride is more cost effective.
E.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride lasts longer - Liquid Magnesium Chloride has a stronger bond to clay in the soil than calcium chloride. Due to this stronger attraction, it is not as mobile in the soil during periods of rain.
F.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride is the #1 product used as a dust suppressant in the United States by government and private industry.
G.  Liquid Magnesium Chloride does an excellent job as a road base stabilizer to cut the cost of maintenance of unpaved roads.
