Liquid Magnesium Chloride for Dust Control

Liquid magnesium chloride acts as a hygroscopic dust control agent that draws moisture from the air and retains it within the road base. This binds dust particles, maintains a hard-packed surface, reduces rutting and potholes, and lowers road maintenance costs. It also helps industrial sites comply with EPA dust management and community air quality standards.

Zircon Industries' RDS38 is delivered and applied as a fully turnkey service — no equipment or labor is required on your end. Zircon's team handles the entire delivery and application process, with the cost of application included in the product price, making procurement seamless.

A single application of RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer lasts 3 to 4 months, even on high-traffic industrial roads. Unlike traditional dust suppressants, RDS38 is reinvigorated by rainfall and does not wash out, extending its effectiveness and reducing the frequency of reapplication needed.

RDS38 is engineered for unpaved roads, gravel surfaces, and industrial road surfaces. It is ideal for mining haul roads, aggregate and quarry sites, trucking yards, lumberyards, and any high-demand unpaved environment where heavy truck traffic generates significant dust.

Yes. RDS38 is designed as a proactive dust control approach that helps industrial facilities comply with EPA dust management requirements. It also assists sites in meeting community and neighborhood air quality standards related to road dust, reducing regulatory risk for mining, quarry, and industrial operations.

By continually retaining moisture in the road base, RDS38 creates and maintains a hard-packed, dense surface that reduces rutting, potholes, and material loss. This directly lowers costs associated with grading, road filling, watering, and routine maintenance — delivering measurable operational savings for industrial and mining sites.
