Liquid Chemical Soil Stabilizers

Duration varies by product, traffic level, surface condition, weather, and application method. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer provides 3 to 4 months of dust control per application on high-traffic roads. Glycerin DC-100 lasts 3 to 4 weeks per application, with subsequent applications covering up to approximately 26,000 sq. ft. per 330-gallon tote. ZHP Water Wetter works as a non-ionic surfactant additive for ongoing watering programs.

Environmental and safety claims vary by product and application. Glycerin DC-100 has the strongest environmental positioning in this lineup because Zircon describes it as 100% food-derived from soy oil and 100% biodegradable/safe for aquatic life. For RDS38 and ZHP Water Wetter, customers should review product labels, SDS materials, runoff controls, and site-specific environmental requirements before use.

RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is reinvigorated by rain and moisture rather than washed out. Zircon says it pulls moisture into the road base to help control both immediate dust and new dust created by daily traffic. Glycerin DC-100 also benefits from intermittent watering or atmospheric moisture to help maintain product activity between applications.

Both options are available depending on the product. Glycerin DC-100 is a self-applied product that is mixed 50/50 with water and applied to unpaved roads. ZHP Water Wetter is added to water-based dust suppression programs at a ratio of roughly 1 part product to 1,500-3,000 parts water. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer is delivered and applied by Zircon as a turnkey service, with application included in the product price.

These products can support documented dust-management and compliance programs when selected and applied correctly. RDS38 supports proactive road dust management for industrial facilities and surrounding communities. ZHP Water Wetter is positioned to address OSHA 1926.1153 surfactant requirements for applicable asphalt milling machine dust-control programs. Facilities should confirm requirements with their environmental, safety, or compliance team before specifying a product.

Glycerin DC-100 is available in 330-gallon totes. ZHP Water Wetter is available in 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, or bulk tanks (minimum 1,500 gallons). RDS38 is not sold by the container — it is delivered and applied as a turnkey service, with pricing based on load factor and distance from distribution points.
