DUST CONTROL FOR INDUSTRY

Dust Control Flakes for Industrial Use in Mining, Quarries, Landfills and Construction Sites

Don’t let excessive road dust become an ongoing problem. Magnesium chloride helps retain moisture, stabilize unpaved surfaces, and reduce the amount of dust released into the air. A well-maintained, properly treated road means less airborne dust, better visibility, and a cleaner environment for people working and living nearby. Suitable for use in mining operations, coal-fired power plants, quarries and gravel pits, landfills, forestry access roads, haul roads, oil and gas sites, construction sites, and other high dust areas.

Effective Dust Control for Better Air Quality

Road dust is more than a nuisance. Fine airborne particles can travel beyond the road surface and contribute to poor local air conditions. Applying magnesium chloride to unpaved roads and high-traffic areas helps:

• Reduce airborne dust and particulate matter
• Improve visibility for drivers and equipment operators
• Reduce dust drifting onto nearby properties
• Create a cleaner environment around roads and work areas
• Reduce the loss of fine aggregate from gravel surfaces
• Help maintain a more stable road surface
• Reduce the frequency and cost of some road maintenance activities

Haul Roads & Particulate Matter

The continuous grinding of heavy truck tires on unpaved aggregates is the #1 source of PM₁₀ emissions. Because PM₁₀ consists of larger, mechanically generated particles (2.5 to 10 micrometers), your choice of dust control must focus on physical containment, binding loose road aggregates, and decreasing the surface tension of water so it can physically trap airborne rock dust.

Hygroscopic Salts (Magnesium Chloride) are excellent for PM₁₀. End Dust™ Magnesium Chloride Flake continuously pulls moisture from the air to keep the road surface damp. This moisture binds fine silt particles to larger gravel aggregates, preventing tires from lifting them into the air.
