Dust Control and
Suppression
Case Study
Zero
Waterless dust suppressant for trafficable areas
Challenge
Long-term dust suppression
for a major transport yard
Solution
Zero
Zero is ideal for long-term dust control where watering is not an option. The unique formula creates a long term, re-workable solution that doesn’t evaporate or freeze.
- Zero water required for application and on-going watering programs
- Zero harm for the environment and effect on application equipment
- Zero curing for immediate results
- Zero slipperiness
- Zero odour
Application
Taking into consideration the material type, geographic location, type of traffic and volume, an application rate of 1.5L of Zero per m2 was selected. The yard will be subjected to Semi Trailers to B-doubles, constant tyre scrubbing and forklift loading.
The selected application rate is intended to offer on-going dust suppression for up to 12 months. When it starts showing signs of dust lift off a maintenance / top up dosage at 30% of the original application volume will be required.
Zero was applied via a downward facing pressurised spray from a water truck to assist with penetration.
