Liquid Calcium Chloride for Dust Control

Duration depends on the product and surface conditions. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer provides 3 to 4 months of dust control per application on heavy-traffic unpaved roads. Glycerin DC-100 offers 3 to 4 weeks per application, with coverage doubling on subsequent applications. ZHP Water Wetter builds up resin with repeated use, progressively reducing watering frequency over time.

RDS38 is specifically engineered to be reinvigorated by rain rather than washed away, unlike traditional sealant-based products. Its hygroscopic action continues even after precipitation, maintaining a hard-packed road base. Glycerin DC-100's effectiveness is also supported by atmospheric moisture, which helps sustain product activity between formal applications.

Zircon's dust control products are formulated for unpaved roads, gravel surfaces, and industrial road surfaces. They are used across mining operations, aggregate and quarry sites, trucking yards, lumber yards, steel plants, utility corridors, and agricultural roads — any high-traffic, unpaved environment generating significant airborne dust.

Yes. RDS38 is designed to meet EPA requirements for proactive dust management at industrial sites and assists compliance with community air quality standards. The ZHP Water Wetter Non-Ionic Surfactant is formulated specifically to comply with OSHA 1926-1153 requirements for surfactant use with asphalt milling machines, making it suitable for regulated jobsite applications.

Glycerin DC-100 is 100% biodegradable, safe for aquatic life, and derived from soy oil — a byproduct of biodiesel manufacturing. It is an ideal option for environmentally sensitive areas such as rural roads near waterways. A full Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is available upon request to assist with regulatory and environmental compliance review.

Both options are available. RDS38 is delivered and applied as a fully managed turnkey service by Zircon Industries — no equipment or labor required from the customer. Glycerin DC-100 and ZHP Water Wetter are self-applied products available in various package sizes, from 5-gallon pails to 330-gallon totes and bulk tanks, suitable for DIY or fleet-based application programs.
