Envirotac. inc INTRODUCTION Gravel roads are vital for connectivity, but dust poses challenges. Effective dust control products and chemicals can enhance road sustainability, improve visibility, and protect both health and the environment. 01.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DUST CONTROL ON GRAVEL ROADS Envirotac. inc WHY GRAVEL ROADS NEED DUST CONTROL Gravel and dirt roads are highly susceptible to dust creation due to the movement of vehicles and environmental factors like wind. Left unchecked, this dust can: Deteriorate road surfaces, leading to increased maintenance and higher costs. Reduce driver visibility, causing safety hazards. Contribute to air pollution, negatively affecting health. 02.
Envirotac. inc KEY BENEFITS OF DUST CONTROL The right road dust control techniques provide numerous advantages, including: 01. Enhanced safety: By reducing airborne dust, driver visibility improves significantly, reducing the risk of accidents. 02. Cost-effective maintenance: Controlling dust helps preserve the structural integrity of the road, reducing the frequency of repairs. 03. Environmental protection: Dust control prevents the spread of harmful particles that contribute to air and water pollution. 03.
EFFECTIVE DUST CONTROL TECHNIQUES FOR GRAVEL ROADS Envirotac. inc CHEMICAL DUST SUPPRESSION Road dust control chemicals like magnesium chloride and calcium chloride effectively absorb moisture from the air and soil, binding loose dust particles and creating a surface that resists dust, even in dry conditions. 01. MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE This is the most common chemical control on gravel roads, as it has hygroscopic characteristics it tends to pull moisture from the atmosphere, thus giving a moist surface of the road that prevents the formation of dust. 02. CALCIUM CHLORIDE is another very common chemical used for dust control, also due to its ability to retain moisture on gravel roads in dry climates. 04.
Envirotac. inc GRAVEL ROAD DUST CONTROL SPRAYS Gravel road dust control sprays, either chemical-based like chloride solutions or organic-based for eco-friendly options, form a protective layer on the road surface, preventing dust from rising. Chloride Sprays Magnesium and calcium chloride are often applied in spray form, making it easy to cover large sections of road quickly. Organic sprays such as lignosulfonates from trees, offer a sustainable, biodegradable solution that forms long- lasting bonds between gravel particles. 05.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT DUST CONTROL SOLUTION Envirotac. inc FACTORS TO CONSIDER Among the factors one needs to put into consideration in choosing a dust control solution for your gravel road include: 01. CLIMATE In areas with high humidity, chemicals like magnesium chloride are highly effective because they retain moisture. In dry climates, alternative chemicals or more frequent application may be needed. 02. TRAFFIC VOLUME High traffic strength will be found in dust control solutions. This might include chemical treatments that serve for a longer duration in dust suppression. 03. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT If you are the green type and wish to circumvent the negative impact that a dust control product may cause in the environment, then here is the good news. These are organic solutions, and they ensure excellent dust control while being friendly to the environment. 06.
