THE TOP DUST CONTROL PRODUCTS
FOR ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
INTRODUCTION
Successful dust control is of paramount
importance in the implementation of all successful
road construction projects. Dust of the fugitive
kind can easily set off critical health problems
through the reduction of visibility, destruction of
equipment, and bringing costly stands of work to a
halt. Fortunately, however, there are existing
effective dust control products designed to
minimize such types of problems. In this blog, we
will discuss some of the best dust control
products for road construction with a highlight on
one of the leading companies: Rhino Snot.
Knowing these products will help ensure your
project runs smoothly, safely, and effectively.
THE IMPORTANCE OF
DUST CONTROL IN ROAD
CONSTRUCTION
Before getting into the best dust control
products, here is why dust control in
road construction is very important
Health and Safety: The fine
particles of dust create
respiratory problems and other
health conditions among workers
and surrounding communities.
Visibility: Dust can blur
the sharpness of vision
at the work site, thus
increasing the potential
for accidents.
Equipment Life: Dust can
clog and spoil machinery,
bringing huge money to be
spent on maintenance and
downtime.
Environmental Concerns: The dust
could impact the low vegetation
surrounding, hence resulting in
vegetative adverse effects, and
occasionally, legal penalties.

Rhino Snot (EP&A Envirotac, Inc.)
TOP DUST
CONTROL
PRODUCTS
FOR ROADS
Rhino Snot by EP&A Envirotac, Inc. is a very
effective environmentally friendly dust
control product. This polymer emulsion
essentially works by binding soil particles
together and, in turn, minimizes dust and
maximizes soil stability. Rhino Snot is also
popular in road construction since it is both
durable and easy to apply.
KEY BENEFITS
Top-notch Dust Control: Reduces substantially
the quantity of dust in the air, thus giving
cleaner air and precarious visibility.
Improved Soil Stability: It binds or stabilizes the
soil to allow it to withstand erosion and wear
better.
Eco-friendly: The product contains no toxic
element to spoil the environment.
Lower Cost: All that is required is less
maintenance or reapplication.
METHODS OF APPLICATION
Preparation: Debris cleaning the site until it attains the desired moisture content
Dilution: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the desired dilution ratio
Uniform Application: Spread the solution evenly with sprayers or water trucks
CALCIUM CHLORIDE
Another typical dust control
product in use is calcium chloride.
This powder is supposed to attract
moisture content from the
atmosphere. This eases the dust
particles to sit at the ground. Due to
the hygroscopic property of
calcium chloride, it becomes an
ideal choice for all kinds of
climates.
Soil does not dry up
Soil compaction is
enhanced.
Stabilizes soil during
road construction.
ADVANTAGES
Effective for a longer
duration.
Water
ADVANTAGES
This is not a long-term solution but is certainly the
easiest and most readily available dust control
method. Watering regularly can suppress dust for a
short period, especially in dry areas of the world.
Immediate Effects: The dust is
suppressed instantly.
Availability: It is easily available and
inexpensive.
Application Tips
Frequency: Apply it frequently,
especially in hot and dry weather.
Volume: Apply an adequate amount
of water to dampen the dust but
not too much that would produce
mud. Ensuring Better Dust Control
Effectiveness: These practices are
taken into account in order that
these dust control products are
efficient.
Regular Monitoring: The site should be monitored frequently so
that areas where dust control measures may require timely
strengthening.
Combination Products: Sometimes combining dust control
products can be the best of both worlds. For instance, water for
immediate dust control and Rhino Snot for long-term
stabilization.
Timing is Everything: When applying dust curtailing products,
apply when the weather is favorable for drying and curing the
product.
Directions from the Manufacturer: Always refer to manufacturer
instructions for dilution, application methods, and safety
measures.
