Dust Control Compounds

Drying and curing time varies by product, dilution, weather, and surface conditions. Latex 100 must form a clear, brittle crust before the treated area is disturbed. RDS38 is designed to retain moisture rather than form a dry crust, while ZHP Water Wetter is applied with water as part of a routine dust-control program.

The best solution depends on the surface, traffic, application method, and required duration. RDS38 suits active, high-traffic unpaved industrial surfaces, Latex 100 is designed for undisturbed storage piles and static areas, and ZHP Water Wetter improves routine watering programs. Glycerin DC-100 provides a self-applied biodegradable option.

Dust suppression reduces airborne particles through wetting or routine surface treatment. Dust stabilization provides longer-lasting control by retaining moisture, binding surface fines, or forming a protective crust. ZHP supports routine watering, RDS38 typically lasts 3–4 months, and Latex 100 can protect undisturbed static surfaces for days to more than a year.

Yes. Freeze King Glycerin has a stated freeze point of -60°F and can be mixed with water for dust control during cold-weather operations. It can also support winter mineral handling, truck-bed and railcar release, and equipment cleaning. Actual performance depends on dilution, temperature, application rate, and site conditions.

Coverage depends on the product and application rate. One 330-gallon tote of Glycerin DC-100 covers approximately 13,000 square feet on the initial treatment and up to 26,000 square feet on subsequent applications. RDS38 and Latex 100 requirements depend on the site size, surface condition, traffic, dilution, and desired duration.

Zircon Industries describes Glycerin DC-100 as 100% biodegradable, soy-derived, and safe for aquatic life. Freeze King Glycerin is described as 100% bio-based, renewable, and safe for aquatic life. These claims do not permit uncontrolled discharge into waterways, so users must follow the current SDS, product guidance, and site-specific environmental requirements.
