Hazardous dust in storage yards from stockpiles and from roadways can significantly increase maintenance costs as well as lower on-site productivity. In fact, unchecked dust and unstable soil conditions can hurt almost every aspect of your operations – from unsafe traffic areas to ineffective maintenance of storage yards and clogged filters causing faulty equipment.
Stabilizing open areas, container yards and roads can significantly decrease clogging in equipment filters, the need for watering trucks, added labor, complaints from neighbors and their associated costs. It also will create a cleaner work environment for you and your employees and eliminate contamination of the freight in railcars.
Midwest offers products to manage fugitive dust on roadways, parking lots, terminal areas and any other open or unpaved areas. Click on the links below to see more information, technical specifications, articles and bulletins, environmental data and success stories:
Soil-Sement®
A polymer emulsion blend, Soil-Sement® bonds surface particles to resist surface separation by wind or rain. It is considered non-hazardous per OSHA and EPA definitions. It is a white liquid that dries clear and requires dilution with water to aid in penetration. Soil-Sement® can be applied to all types of soils and surfaces.Soil-Sement® is designed for use in stabilizing soil and controlling dust. It’s developed to be environmentally safe and provide superior dust control performance. Over the past 30 years, Soil-Sement® has been extensively tested in the field, in our state-of-the-art laboratory and by independent organizations such as the US EPA, California Air Resource Board and Canada ETV.
Road Oyl®
A patented resin-modified emulsion that provides a cold applied high performance treatment for bare earth or unpaved roads. Formulated from tree resin ingredients, this state-of-the-art, non-ionic emulsion technology is unique in its high bonding strength and is appropriate for use even in close proximity to wetland areas and other areas of environmental sensitivity. Road Oyl® provides the clean, high performance technology needed for any type of project requiring dust control and soil stabilization.EnviroKleen®
Synthetic Organic Dust Control™ that is clear to slightly tinted upon application and will usually make the soil appear darker. It is considered non-hazardous, colorless, and odorless and will not trigger reporting requirements when used properly for NPDES regulations, nor will it create oil-sheen. Does not require dilution with water.Road Pro NT®
Road Pro NT® is a polymer modified asphalt emulsion used as a multi-component dust control agent. It works by penetrating, saturating, then bonding surface dust and aggregate together. Road Pro NT® prevents the surface from becoming rigid and brittle, therefore reducing the likelihood of cracking.Dust Fyghter®
Dust Fyghter® is a chloride dust suppressant that continuously absorbs moisture from the air and locks it into the surface, thereby suppressing the dust. The result is a hard-packed, dust-free surface.
We also understand that managing a program in-house is extremely difficult with the internal demands and pressures on developers and contractors. And outsourcing is not necessarily easy. We have the programs that provide either Turnkey Application Service of fugitive dust control products or a guaranteed Dust Control Service Program of monitoring and maintaining the prescribed level of dust control.
