HOW TO APPLY DUST CONTROL PRODUCT

Here’s how to apply our End Dust™ Magnesium Chloride Flake product to unpaved roadways and other dirt or gravel surfaces. The same method can be applied on a smaller scale to both indoor and outdoor riding arenas:

1. STEP 1: PREPARE SURFACE

   – The first step is to prepare the road surface.
   – Work the road with a grader into a smooth and consistent surface.
   – If washboards or potholes are present, cut enough to eliminate them.
   – After blading the road, you will have a windrow that can be placed in the middle of the road or down one side.
   
   

2. STEP 2: ADD WATER

   – Bring in the water truck and spray the road and windrow.
   – Apply as much water as you can. The moisture will create a strong binder.
   – After the road is soaked down, move your windrow across the road to reshape it.
   – Try not to overwork the material.
   – Add more water, soak down to the point of almost puddles.
   
   

3. STEP 3: APPLY PRODUCT

   – Apply product with any type of spreader used for sand, salt, or seed.
   – The road should look like it was just fertilized.
   – When the product hits the ground you will hear a popping sound, which means the water content is perfect.
   – IMPORTANT – Do NOT add water after applying product!
   – Keep traffic off the road for as long as possible, up to 12 hours.
   
   

4. APPLICATION TIPS

   – Moisture is the key to the successful application of this product.
   – Each application prep will vary depending on composition of the road surface, the volume of traffic on the roadway, and the soil conditions.
   – For example, a clay base road will not need as much water as a sand base road.
