Dust Control for Steel Manufacturing Plants

Duration varies by product. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer lasts 3 to 4 months per application on high-traffic industrial roads and is reinvigorated by rain. Latex 100 can provide dust control from days to more than 12 months depending on dilution ratio and whether the surface remains undisturbed. Glycerin DC-100 lasts approximately 3 to 4 weeks per application. ZHP Water Wetter supports routine watering programs, with resin extenders building up over time to reduce watering frequency.

Compliance-related claims vary by product and site use. 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. Customers should review product labels, SDS materials, and site-specific regulatory requirements before making compliance decisions.

Yes. Latex 100 Static Dust Control Sealant is designed for static iron ore, coal, aggregate, and fly ash areas. It forms a clear crust that helps prevent dust from escaping and protects against wind and water erosion. It is also positioned as a winter strategy for coal storage because it helps preserve low moisture so coal is easier to handle in winter months, with no freezing at the surface. Latex 100 should not be used on active piles, haul roads, or roads with significant traffic.

Application method depends on the product. ZHP Water Wetter is introduced into water at a ratio of 1,500 to 3,000 parts water to 1 part surfactant and sprayed as part of a routine watering program. Glycerin DC-100 can be mixed 50/50 with water and spray-applied. Latex 100 is sprayed onto static or undisturbed surfaces. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is delivered and applied by Zircon as a turnkey service, with application included in the product price.

Environmental claims vary by product. Glycerin DC-100 is the main environmentally focused option because it is 100% biodegradable, food-derived from soy oil, and listed as safe for aquatic life. Other products should be evaluated based on their specific SDS, product labels, application method, and site requirements before use in environmentally sensitive areas.

Packaging and service options vary by product. ZHP Water Wetter is available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, and tank quantities with a 1,500-gallon minimum. Latex 100 is available in 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, and full tank loads with a 4,500-gallon minimum. Glycerin DC-100 is available in 330-gallon totes.
