Non-Ionic Surfactants

Household dish soaps are formulated for consumer cleaning, not industrial dust-control watering programs. For applications such as unpaved-road dust control, aggregate-site watering, mining roads, lumber yards, trucking yards, or asphalt milling dust suppression, use an industrial surfactant designed for the job. ZHP Water Wetter is a non-ionic surfactant and resin extender that is added directly to water to improve spreading, penetration, and moisture retention during routine dust-control spraying.

For industrial dust-control applications, ZHP Water Wetter can be added directly to water at a ratio of 1,500 to 3,000 parts water to 1 part surfactant. It helps water spread, penetrate, and retain moisture more effectively during routine spraying. For applicable OSHA 1926.1153 Table 1 asphalt milling machine applications, water must be combined with a surfactant. Job-site compliance depends on the full exposure-control method, equipment setup, water delivery, surfactant use, maintenance, work practices, and documentation.

Some household cleaning products may contain non-ionic surfactant components, but they are formulated for consumer cleaning tasks rather than industrial dust-control watering programs. For professional and industrial applications, ZHP Water Wetter provides a purpose-built non-ionic surfactant option for improving water coverage, penetration, and moisture retention across aggregate, mining, utility, steel, trucking, lumber yard, road-maintenance, and similar dust-control environments.

ZHP Water Wetter is introduced at a ratio of 1,500 to 3,000 parts water to 1 part surfactant. Spray it on the surface as part of a routine watering program to improve water penetration, reduce beading and runoff, and retard evaporation. Contact Zircon Industries for application-specific guidance based on site conditions, watering equipment, dust levels, and surface type.

ZHP Water Wetter is available in bulk packaging options, including 5-gallon pails, 55-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, and tank orders with a minimum of 1,500 gallons. Contact Zircon Industries at **800-547-4328** for current pricing, packaging availability, freight options, SDS documentation, and application guidance.

Yes. ZHP Water Wetter contains resin extenders that build up with continued use. Over time, this can help reduce watering frequency in routine dust-control programs by improving penetration, spreading, and moisture retention. Actual watering frequency depends on traffic, weather, surface condition, dust load, application rate, and site-specific operating conditions.
