Road Base Stabilizer Products

Application longevity varies by product, traffic, weather, surface condition, and application rate. RDS38 Road Dust Stabilizer lasts approximately 3 to 4 months per application. Glycerin DC-100 lasts approximately 3 to 4 weeks per application, with subsequent applications providing residual enhancement. ZHP Water Wetter builds resin extenders over time to help reduce watering frequency.

Glycerin DC-100 is 100% food-derived from soy oil, 100% biodegradable, and safe for aquatic life. ZHP Water Wetter is a non-ionic surfactant and resin extender used to improve water coverage, penetration, and moisture retention. Always review each product's SDS, label, application guidance, runoff conditions, and local requirements before use.

These products are used on unpaved roads, gravel surfaces, and industrial road surfaces. Applications include mining haul roads, aggregate and quarry access roads, trucking yards, lumber yards, industrial roads, municipal road maintenance, and other surfaces where dust generation and road maintenance are ongoing concerns.

Both options are available. Glycerin DC-100 and ZHP Water Wetter can be applied by site teams using suitable spray or watering equipment. RDS38 is delivered and applied as a turnkey service by Zircon Industries, with application included in the product price for demanding industrial road dust-control needs.

RDS38 is reinvigorated by moisture in the atmosphere and rain, helping it continue pulling moisture into the road base instead of washing out. Glycerin DC-100 benefits from intermittent watering or atmospheric moisture, which helps maintain product activity between applications.

Common users include mining operations, aggregate and quarry sites, trucking yards, lumber yards, steel plants, municipal road maintenance departments, and industrial facilities. These industries use road dust stabilizers to reduce dust, support road maintenance programs, and lower costs related to grading, road filling, and routine watering.
