Road dust is made of fine particles that include dry soil, clay, minerals, fine organic matter, concrete particulates, tire and brake wear and tear, and other toxic pollutants. A serious health hazard, road dust is particularly harmful for people suffering from ailments such as asthma, breathing problems, sinusitis, or other respiratory ailments. The dust also slows down traffic due to low visibility and may create accident-prone areas, as motorists are unable to see clearly up ahead.

Its adverse effects makes controlling this dust highly important. Some products widely used for road dust control are calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, lignin sulfate and sugar beet extracts. Many of these products are toxic to the environment and are not the safest solution for road dust control.

Novamen's DCP 6000 is a cost effective dust control product for treating gravel roads. The product is non-toxic, bio-degradable, non-corrosive and contains little or no chlorides. This product combines wetting agents with an organic chemical that is effective in controlling dust on gravel roads. The product works in a similar manner as DCP 7525 and calcium chloride by absorbing moisture from the atmosphere or rainfall. This keeps the surface of the road damp and drastically reduces the tendency for dust to be created from moving vehicles.

  • Cost effective

The product has a lower cost than many other competitive products.

  • Safe for the Environment

Non-toxic when properly applied, making it safe for foliage and surface water surrounding roadways.

  • Non-Corrosive

Non-corrosive compared to calcium chloride based products and can be applied without special equipment or clothing.

  • Effective

The product works very well to reduce or eliminate dust from forming. It has a similar life span to other competitive dust control products.
