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.

Products are available in multiple application modes. Glycerin DC-100 and ZHP Water Wetter are self-applied via spray equipment and can be integrated into routine watering programs. RDS38 is delivered and applied by Zircon Industries as a turnkey service, eliminating the need for customer-owned spray equipment or labor. An optional truck-mounted transfer system is available for ZHP.

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 frequently you can reapply. For DIY dust control on private or rural roads, Glycerin DC-100 is economical and biodegradable. For industrial roads with heavy truck traffic, RDS38 offers long-term, hands-free control. ZHP Water Wetter suits operations already running watering programs in mining, aggregate, or utility sectors.
