DUSTRON^®

A range of highly effective dust suppression chemicals

THE PROBLEM

The recent increased focus on occupational lung diseases by safety authorities around the world, even in third-world countries, puts pressure on businesses to provide effective dust control systems.
The issue of fugitive dust on haul roads and for stockpiles is an important occupational safety issue for business operators as it presents unique challenges.
Uncontrolled high and wide clouds of dust affect visibility, damage equipment, slow down work and present a safety hazard to staff. Harmful dust particles such as silica may lead to serious occupational lung diseases such as silicosis, pneumoconiosis and even cancer.
The common method of spraying dust with only water often causes overwatering which comes with its own set of problems: muddy slippery conditions, increased rate of vehicle collisions with safety berms and damaged road surface.
Many common dust suppressants diluted in water (calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, sodium, calcium lignosulphonate, etc) can result in chemicals leaching, metal corrosion, environmental or surface damage and can cause skin and lung irritation.

DUSTRON^® is range of highly effective dust suppression chemicals designed to supress fugitive dust. Added to water spraying system, the product lowers the surface tension of the water particles and makes it easier for the water and dust particles to conglomerate. As a result, dust sinks to the bottom instead of floating on top.
DUSTRON^® works with your current dust suppression system powerfully increasing its effectiveness while saving you water, time and money in the process.

DUSTRON^® is a unique multitasking product that provides a one stop solution for all challenges associated with suppression of fugitive dust, especially on haul roads and stockpiles.
Non-toxic and eco-friendly, DUSTRON^® can supress up to 95% of dust without causing damage to the environment and human health. Used on haul roads, DUSTRON^® preserves and often improves the wearing layer of the road after multiple applications.
DUSTRON^® reduces the overall water usage, leading to less trips and less fuel as a result.
