Product Description
Avenger high performance haul road dust suppressant has been developed by RST Solutions as an additive for water carts to greatly improve dust control. Water alone is not the solution to control haul road dust, as large volumes are continually required, which not only is costly but water can also cause slipperiness and road surface damage.
By adding Avenger to current water cart program, mine site watering requirements are halved, dust is minimised, maintenance requirements are slashed and site safety is improved.
Avenger offers the additional value over time by improving the road structure which inturn reduces roll resistance, road maintenance and road recovery after rain.
