Frequently Asked Questions

What dust control product is best for sealing open railcar tops loaded with coal or aggregate?

Latex 100 Static Dust Control Sealant is specifically designed for open railcar top sealing. It forms a clear, brittle crust over coal, iron ore, and aggregate loads, preventing wind and water erosion during transit. Dilution ratios can be adjusted for short-term (weeks) to long-term (up to 18 months) protection depending on storage duration.

How long does a single dust control application last in a high-traffic railroad yard?

Are Zircon's dust control products safe for use near railyard drainage and waterways?

Can Zircon Industries apply dust control products on-site, or is this self-applied only?

Do Zircon dust control products comply with EPA or OSHA regulations for industrial dust management?

What packaging and minimum order sizes are available for railroad yard dust control products?

Can dust control products be used on railroad yard roads during winter or cold weather conditions?
