Roadway dust control agent
Batimix Anti-Dust 100 is an environmentally safe, dust control and road stabilization agent that reduces the surface tension of particles and provides an effective long lasting method for controlling dust on dirt, sand, gravel, limestone and marl roads.
The binding action of lignosulphonates is both chemical and physical in nature and results from the intermolecular forces between the sulphonated lignin molecules and the molecules on the surface of the particles being bonded. The size of the adhesive molecule is important for the formation of the cohesive bond and is also partly responsible for the strength of the cohesion. The bond is strong enough to resist the abrasion of tyres.
Batimix Anti Dust 100 is a uniquely formulated lignosulphonate-based binder and gravel preserver suitable for binding both fine and coarse particles. Dustex is also suitable for spray- on applications to the surface of areas requiring short or medium term dust suppression.
Batimix Anti Dust 100 is used to reduce dust emitted from surfaces and as a road stabilization agent. This ‘instant’ or spray-on dust suppression method is used to reduce dust. It is the easiest and most cost effective way to achieve a dust-free environment and is more effective than multiple applications of water.
Main application areas of Batimix Anti Dust 100 include :
Main features of Batimix Anti Dust 100 include:
Apply a 15% concentration solution of Batimix Anti Dust solution at the recommended rate of 1–1.5 litres per square meter.
Batimix Anti Dust 100 is a lignosulphonate product derived from the wood pulping process and developed specifically for road stabilisation and dust control. A product of paper manufacture, this natural polymer is non-toxic, easy to handle and satisfies all environmental requirements.
Skin and eye contact should be avoided. In case of contact, rinse or flush with water. It is a non-explosive, on-flammable product.
