The tacky characteristics provide residual dust suppression by agglomerating fine particles and holding them together even after the treated material has dried. This agent is mainly used to reduce dust emission during handling and processing.

A surfactant to be added to water on the surface of the mine or underground to control dust on longwalls, on continuous miners, at transfer points and other underground mining processes.

An effective proprietary road dust control product applied diluted with water using common road-watering equipment. It has humectant and binding characteristics that help to provide long-term dust control reducing dust emission to atmosphere by heavy dump truck traffic.

A blend of organic surfactants and other organic non-salt-based humectants diluted with water used to control dust on haul roads and improve water retention without the use of corrosive chloride compounds.

An encrusting agent diluted with water applied to open rail cars, stockpiles etc. to reduce dust during handling or wind erosion. It forms a crust on top of the sprayed area.

It may be dispersed using water sprays, hydro-seeder or water cannon on watering trucks. For flat surfaces, it may be applied by watering truck.
