Dust Suppressant for Quarry Roads in Texas

RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer provides 3 to 4 months of dust control per application, even on high-traffic quarry roads. Glycerin DC-100 lasts approximately 3–4 weeks per application, with coverage expanding on subsequent treatments. ZHP Water Wetter builds up resin over time, allowing you to reduce watering frequency gradually.

RDS38 is specifically formulated to be reinvigorated by rain rather than washed out — rainfall reactivates its hygroscopic properties, maintaining moisture retention in the road base. This makes it particularly well-suited for Texas weather patterns where sporadic heavy rain is followed by prolonged dry and dusty conditions.

Glycerin DC-100 is 100% biodegradable, derived from soy oil as a byproduct of biodiesel manufacturing, and is safe for aquatic life. ZHP Water Wetter is a non-ionic surfactant designed to meet OSHA 1926-1153 requirements. RDS38 is formulated to help industrial sites meet EPA dust management requirements and community air quality standards.

RDS38 is a fully turnkey product — Zircon Industries delivers and applies it at your quarry site, with application included in the price. Glycerin DC-100 and ZHP Water Wetter are both self-applied options, packaged in totes, drums, or pails for use with standard spray equipment or as a water additive in your existing watering trucks.

A single 330-gallon tote of Glycerin DC-100 covers approximately 13,000 square feet at the initial application rate of 1 gallon per 20 square feet (diluted 50/50 with water). On subsequent applications, coverage improves to approximately 26,000 square feet per tote as the road surface becomes better conditioned.

Yes. RDS38 creates a dense, hard-packed road base that significantly reduces the need for grading, road filling, and repeat watering — all major cost drivers at Texas quarry and aggregate sites. ZHP Water Wetter's resin build-up also reduces long-term watering frequency, lowering labor and water costs over time.
