Dust Control for Aggregate & Quarry Operations

RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer provides 3 to 4 months of effective dust control per application on high-traffic industrial haul roads. Its hygroscopic formula continuously pulls moisture into the road base and is reinvigorated by rain rather than washed away, making it one of the longest-lasting options for aggregate and quarry environments.

Compliance-related claims vary by product. ZHP Water Wetter is designed to address OSHA 1926.1153 surfactant requirements for asphalt milling machine dust control. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is positioned as a proactive dust-control approach that helps meet the demands of EPA and neighborhood groups. For formal compliance decisions, customers should review product documentation, SDS materials, and site-specific regulatory requirements.

Yes. Latex 100 Static Dust Control Sealant is designed for undisturbed static surfaces, including aggregate, iron ore, coal, fly ash areas, open unused lots, and open railcar tops. It forms a clear crust that helps prevent dust from escaping and protects against wind and water erosion. It should not be used on active mineral or ash piles, haul roads, or roads with significant traffic. For high-traffic road dust control, RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is the better fit.

Yes. Glycerin DC-100 is Zircon’s biodegradable dust-control option for unpaved roads. It is 100% biodegradable, food-derived from soy oil, and listed as safe for aquatic life. One 330-gallon tote covers approximately 13,000 sq. ft. initially, with subsequent applications covering up to approximately 26,000 sq. ft. per tote.

Application method depends on the product. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is delivered and applied by Zircon as a turnkey service, so customers do not need their own application equipment. ZHP Water Wetter is introduced into water at a ratio of 1,500 to 3,000 parts water to 1 part surfactant and sprayed through a watering program. Glycerin DC-100 is mixed 50/50 with water and spray-applied. Latex 100 also requires spray application equipment for static surfaces. An optional ZHP Truck-Mounted Transfer System is available for surfactant delivery.

Pricing for all Zircon Industries dust control products is available on request and varies based on site size, product type, and logistics.
