What is Soil-Sement® is an environmentally safe, advanced powerful polymer emulsion that produces highly effective dust control, erosion control and soil stabilization. Soil-Sement® provides excellent bonding, cohesion, versatility, cost-effectiveness, environmental compliance and superior overall performance. Soil-Sement®’s effectiveness results from the length and strength of its unique polymer molecule formulation and those polymer molecules’ ability to bond with the surface materials. Its chemical structure is made of molecules attached in relatively straight-linked chains and then cross-linked among other chains or grids that may be 1,000,000 molecules long. It is a true giant compared to the much smaller molecular structure of oil, calcium, petroleum resin and asphalt emulsion products, which range from 100 to 10,000 molecules. As a result, Soil-Sement® can be as strong as steel or as resilient as rubber. Soil-Sement® is the cumulation of 24 years of focused research and development, and unparalleled concentration on PM10, PM2.5, erosion control and stabilization solutions. It yields proprietaryone-of-a-kind polymer chemistry manufactured to rigid quality standards utilized in combination with field experience in all industrial, commercial and municipal environments. The result is a performance and value combination that is unequaled by other chemical and polymer products. As a result Soil-Sement® has been the standard of comparison for all chemical types, including polymer products, since it’s introduction in 1978. Especially today Soil-Sement® exemplifies the fact that all polymers are not made equal. A Soil-Sement® treated surface will provide you with optimum performance 365 days a year!

Stabilization with Soil-Sement®
Determines Potential Engineering Benefits of Soil-Sement® In a comprehensive study just released by the U.S. Army Research and Development Center of 12 non-traditional stabilizers and three traditional types, SOIL-SEMENT® (one of the non-traditional types) showed its potential to increase the unconfined compressive (UC) strength of silty sand (SM) material under both “wet” and dry conditions. The results verified that SOIL-SEMENT® polymer emulsion SIGNIFICANTLY improved the UC strength of the SM material (58 percent in dry test conditions and 208 percent in wet conditions). Except for cement and polymers, other traditional and non-traditional stabilizers provided no significant potential. 58% 208% Graphs by Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. using data from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s study of Nontraditional Stabilization of Silty-Sand. “Nontraditional Stabilization of Silty-Sand,” Engineering Research and Development Center.

• 6 Month • 12 Month • Post Implementation
6 MONTH CONCLUSIONS
The opacity of the dust plumes generated by the convoys on the Soil-Sement® treated areas were lower than 20% as required at the property line.
12 MONTH CONCLUSIONS
The opacity of the dust plumes generated by the convoys on the Soil-Sement® treated areas were lower than 20% as required at the property line.
POST-IMPLEMENTATION EVALUATION
The opacity of the dust plumes generated by the convoys on the Soil-Sement® treated areas were lower than 20% as required at the property line.
The Soil-Sement® palliative appeared to exhibit a tolerance to the type of vehicular traffic of the Main Supply Route (generally heavy vehicles with both rubber tires and tracks). At the time of the evaluation (after 1 year), the Soil-Sement® appeared to show some signs of wear but maintained its general integrity at the surface after receiving some heavy, abrasive traffic, particularly from tracked vehicles. The spalling observed appears to be predominantly from the aggregate being crushed or “popped” out of the surface, with only minor flaking of the Soil-Sement®-treated crossing.

In the most comprehensive study in the iron and steel industry performed for the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Soil-Sement® was compared to petroleum resins and asphaltic emulsions in controlled PM10 and PM2.5 testing involving unpaved roadways in the iron and steel industry.While all of the products performed at a high level of effectiveness immediately following each application, the true test came when the results were once again compared 30 days later. Soil-Sement® maintained an effectiveness rating within 10% of the initial application, while the effectiveness of asphaltic emulsions and petroleum resins dropped significantly.

Soil-Sement®
Demonstration
Kern County Road Shoulders
This report provided the initial results of a demonstration using Soil-Sement® as an alternative to paving for fugitive dust control associated with unpaved road shoulders.
The USEPA mandated that the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District commit to the rapid adoption and implementation of Best Available Control Measures (BACMs) in order to control particulate matter. One such BACM is the paving of unpaved road shoulders. Kern County is but one of eight counties in the Air District and the total miles of road potentially subject to the shoulder-paving requirement could exceed several thousand miles at a cost in excess of $100,000,000!
Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. proposed a demonstration to the Air Pollution Control Districtto evaluate the cost and feasibility of using Soil-Sement® as an interim and low cost solution to the road shoulder paving requirement. During the demonstration, Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. stressed that the Soil-Sement® treated shoulders are expected to remain dust-free for 2 years!
Six weeks after application of Soil-Sement®, Kern County Roads Staff returned to the demonstration site and found the following results:
- The Soil-Sement® topical application provided a hard stabilized surface and effectively eliminated dust on the road shoulders.
- Soil-Sement® provides a durable surface.

Fresno County
Road Shoulder Stabilization
The San Joaquin Valley has one of the worst air quality problems in the nation and is one of a few areas of the country classified by the USEPA as a serious non-attainment area for the federal particulate matter air quality standard (PM10). In response to the severity and longevity of the Valley’s PM10 air quality problem, the USEPA found the Valley’s PM10 non-attainment area plan deficient and required the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District to revise its plan and commit to the rapid development and implementation of Best Available Control Measures (BACMs).
For this demonstration the Fresno County Department of Public Works wanted to compare Soil-Sement® to slow cure asphalt, SC-250. Prominent differences between the two products include:
- Soil-Sement® has no detectable emissions of VOC whereas SC-250 emits 400 lbs/mile of treated shoulder.
- Soil-Sement® is non-toxic whereas SC-250 has potential toxic and water quality implications.
- Soil-Sement® costs less than SC-250.
At slightly over 2 months after application, department personnel reported a number of complaints about SC-250 track-out, and had to return to the site and apply a layer of sand to portions of the SC-250 treated shoulders.
Two months after application, the Department Road Staff found the Soil-Sement® application has provided a durable and stabilized road surface and has effectively eliminated fugitive dust!

Experiments conducted by the
Desert Research Institute
determine the efficiencies of dust suppressant materials
on unpaved public roads and unpaved shoulders along paved roads.
Experiments were conducted from July to August in order to determine the PM10 control efficiencies of different dust suppressant materials on unpaved public roads and unpaved shoulders along paved roads.
In an initial survey, more than 60 specific suppressant products were identified. These fell into categories of:
- salts
- asphalt or petroleum emulsions
- emulsions of other materials
- polymers
- surfactants
- bitumens
- adhesives
- solid materials, fibers and mulches
- hydroseed vegetation
- miscellaneous products
Conclusions were drawn with respect to:
- efficiency and durability of each suppressant
- fugitive dust emission rates
- zones of influence of fugitive dust emissions
For the unpaved roads, PM10 was measured upwind and downwind of each test section.For the unpaved shoulder study, in addition to upwind and downwind measurements, instantaneous measurements from light scattering and turbulence sensors were made. The efficiencies of Soil-Sement® exceeded 80% on average, during the final measurement period, 12 months after application. Of all of the other commercial products tested, the maximum efficiencies after a 12-month period amounted to no more than 49%.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO PHASE I COMPLIANCE BY SOIL-SEMENT®:
- Soil-Sement® will not affect pH levels. As applied, Soil-Sement® is neutral pH.
- Soil-Sement® does not contain oil or grease.
- Soil-Sement® does not contain volatile organic compounds or semi-volatile organic compounds above the regulatory levels.
- Soil-Sement®, when applied correctly and cured, will not increase BOD or COD.
- Soil-Sement® will not increase TSS (Total Suspended Solids) if applied properly. In fact, once dried and cured, Soil-Sement® will decrease the TSS.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO PHASE II COMPLIANCE BY SOIL-SEMENT®:
Technical data is available showing:
- The effectiveness of Soil-Sement® in binding naturally occurring pollutants such as metals and arsenic to the soil, making them unable to enter into stormwater runoff.
- That Soil-Sement® will prevent dust from becoming airborne and settling as sediment in stormwater runoff.
DEPARTMENTS OF TRANSPORTATION NOW RECOMMEND:
- That methods of erosion and sediment control should be considered “pay items” in the bids and specifications.
- That new road construction is usually funded approximately 80% by the federal government, and on-going maintenance is 100% funded by each state, therefore it is more economical to plan the erosion and sediment control into the initial budget.
- Part 91, Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control, of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act requires that soil and sedimentation control be considered throughout the development and delivery phases of a project, including planning, design, construction and maintenance.

A county located in the high Mojave Desert region in California initiated a PM10 Dust Control Project to evaluate the effectiveness of various dust suppressants for unpaved roadways. The evaluation was conducted under the direction of the Kern County Air Pollution Control District and coordinated through the County Waste Management Engineering Department. The products tested included a pine tar resin, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, lignin sulfonate, petroleum resins and Soil-Sement®. Test sites were examined at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months following application. The study found Soil-Sement® to be the product which continued to perform at the highest level of effectiveness as both a dust and erosion control agent.

Why Soil-Sement®
Beats the Alternatives for
Fugitive Dust Suppression:
As you know, there are many alternative methods of fugitive dust control. Below are just a few...
WATER
Water works well, but requires constant attention. (For example, Per Rule 403.1 of the South Coast AQMD - water must be applied at least THREE times a day when there is evidence of wind-driven fugitive dust.) In addition, water is most commonly applied by diesel-powered water trucks which themselves emit direct and toxic PM and NOX.
WASHED GRAVEL
A uniform layer of washed gravel, while controlling fugitive dust temporarily, presents numerous otherproblems. Traction is inadequate and tire damage can occur. Over time, dust emissions increase rather than decrease due to steady traffic breaking down the gravel. Also, gravel is fairly expensive and subject to water erosion.
PAVING
Paving, while the best long-term solution to fugitive dust control, is extremely expensive. In many applications, paving is impractical...the need may be temporary or the cost too extravagant.
Soil-Sement® is the only feasible, safe alternative to the above-mentioned methods that has been verified by numerous environmental agencies, including CalCert, California Air Resources Board and Environment Canada.
Why settle for more expensive, time-consuming methods when one application of environmentally safe Soil-Sement® lasts up to six months! Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. has the tested, certified choice to help you comply with your water and air quality regulations...the only choice...
Soil-Sement®’s Uncompromising Reliability and Repeatability Make it the Only Choice for Your Fugitive Dust Suppression Compliance Requirements!
Best Management Practices (BMPs)
Mandatory storm water permits and management plans are being incorporated into the framework of urbanized areas, making it imperative to address water quality in all aspects of development. Professionals, contractors and end users are struggling to develop a systematic and logical method for selecting the appropriate Best Management Practice (BMP) to be integrated into the various construction phases for their projects.
Best Management Practice is a technique, measure or structural control that is used for a given set of conditions to manage the quantity and improve the quality of storm water runoff in the most cost-effective manner. BMPs are designed to protect and prevent new pollution.
With Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc.’s understanding of the types of structural BMPs and how they interact with one another, we can provide guidance in obtaining the right mix for a specific site. To ensure the maximum benefit is achieved, we evaluate your site so the most effective BMP for the preconstruction, active construction and post-construction phases is utilized.
The Preconstruction phase requires a careful assessment of the specific site and a development of a clear understanding of what stormwater controls will be required by relevant stormwater regulations, local ordinances and site plan approval processes. The Active Construction Phase deals with sediment containment systems and vegetative techniques. Their roles are to create conditions for sedimentation, allowing soil particles that are held in suspension to settle. Post-construction BMPs are techniques that can be used to address flow quantity control of, and treatment for, water quality through pollution removal in wet-weather runoff.
SOIL-SEMENT® IS THE ONLY CHOICE USED FOR ALL
THREE PHASESOF CONSTRUCTION:
PRECONSTRUCTION:

Soil-Sement® will keep your operation running smoothly
and in compliance with stormwater regulationsduring all phases of construction!
Best Available Control Technologies (BACTs)
Best Available Control Technology is an emission limitation that will attain the lowest achievable emission rate for the source to which it is applied.
Best Available Control Methods (BACM) and Reasonably Available Control Methods (RACM) are also important techniques and procedures to limit emission and/or airborne transport of fugitive dust from a site with satisfactory results accomplished for temporary and/or extended suppression of PM10 emissions.
Soil-Sement® can be used to achieve Best Available Control Technology. Soil-Sement® is also considered to be both Best Available Control Method (BACM) and Reasonably Available Control Method (RACM)
Fugitive Dust Emissions Control Plan
Regulatory agencies require operations to submit Fugitive Dust Emissions Control Plans so that the amount of particulate matter carried in the surrounding air as a result of man-made fugitive dust sources meets opacity, wind conditions and control efficiency requirements.
Midwest has Fugitive Dust Emissions Control Plans that are detailed to demonstrate the applicable Best Available Control Measures or Reasonably Available Control Measures that will be utilized and/or installed during all periods of active operations.
Our plans meet these three conditions:
- All sources of fugitive dust emissions areidentified.
- For each source identified, at least one of therequired control measures is implemented, oran acceptable justification statement is satisfied.
- If visible dust emissions are crossing the property line(s), then high wind measures are specified for immediate implementation.
We provide the following services so that your organization will avoid violations:
