Biodegradable Road Dust Stabilizer

Application longevity varies by product. Glycerin DC-100 provides 3–4 weeks of dust suppression per application on unpaved roads, with subsequent applications covering up to twice the area. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer offers medium-term control lasting 3 to 4 months per application, making it ideal for high-traffic industrial and mining roads where frequent reapplication is not practical.

Yes. RDS38 is specifically engineered for heavy-traffic industrial environments including mining operations, aggregate sites, and quarries. It creates a hard-packed, dense road base that withstands heavy tonnage, controls both new and existing dust daily, and is reinvigorated by rain rather than washing out — making it highly durable under demanding operational conditions.

Application methods vary by product. Glycerin DC-100 can be mixed 50/50 with water and applied by spray for do-it-yourself dust control. ZHP Water Wetter is introduced into water at a ratio of 1,500 to 3,000 parts water to 1 part surfactant and sprayed as part of a routine watering program. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is delivered and applied by Zircon as a turnkey service, with application included in the product price.

Yes. ZHP Water Wetter is specifically designed to meet OSHA 1926-1153 surfactant requirements for asphalt milling machine dust control. It reduces the surface tension of water, preventing rapid evaporation and improving dust suppression coverage. Its resin extenders also build up with continued use, allowing operators to reduce watering frequency and maintain compliance cost-effectively over time.

Package sizes vary by product. Glycerin DC-100 is available in 330-gallon totes. ZHP Water Wetter is offered in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, and bulk tanks with a minimum of 1,500 gallons. RDS38 is delivered in bulk as part of a turnkey service, with pricing based on load factor and proximity to Zircon's regional distribution points.

The right product depends on traffic volume, surface type, environmental requirements, and how often you can reapply. Glycerin DC-100 is a strong fit when you need a biodegradable, do-it-yourself dust-control option for unpaved roads. ZHP Water Wetter fits operations that already run routine watering programs and want better water coverage and penetration. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is the better fit for high-traffic industrial roads where turnkey application and longer-lasting dust control are preferred.
