Dust Control for Cement & Concrete Plants

ZHP is a non-ionic surfactant that breaks the surface tension of water, preventing it from beading and evaporating rapidly. This allows water to penetrate and wet dust particles more effectively. At a dilution ratio of 1,500–3,000 parts water to 1 part ZHP, it also builds resin over time, enabling users to reduce watering frequency progressively.

Yes. Latex 100 is specifically formulated for static storage piles including aggregate, fly ash, iron ore, and coal. It forms a clear, brittle crust on the pile surface to prevent wind and water erosion. Dilution ratios can be adjusted to provide short-term control (weeks) or long-term sealing lasting 8–18 months, making it flexible for seasonal plant operations.

Yes. ZHP Water Wetter is designed to comply with OSHA 1926-1153 surfactant specifications for asphalt milling machine dust control, and RDS38 supports EPA dust management requirements. All products come with product labels and Safety Data Sheets to assist with regulatory documentation and site compliance programs.

Glycerin DC-100 is the most environmentally responsible option. It is 100% biodegradable, derived from food-grade soy oil as a byproduct of biodiesel manufacturing, and is safe for aquatic life. One 330-gallon tote covers approximately 13,000 sq. ft. initially, making it suitable for areas near drainage or water-sensitive zones within a cement or concrete facility.

One application of RDS38 typically lasts 3–4 months. Unlike sealant-based products that can wash away, RDS38 is actually reinvigorated by rain — moisture reactivates the hygroscopic agent and helps maintain the hard-packed, dense road base. This makes it especially cost-effective for outdoor plant roads exposed to variable weather conditions.

Zircon's products are available in bulk-friendly packaging across the range. ZHP Water Wetter and Latex 100 are available in 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, and full tank loads (up to 4,500-gallon minimums for Latex 100). Glycerin DC-100 ships in 330-gallon totes. RDS38 is delivered and applied as a turnkey service. Contact Zircon at 800-547-4328 for custom quantity pricing.
