Product Benefits

Soilbond is a naturally derived water-based organic emulsion that can be used as a spray on dust suppressant and dust control solution. With regular topical applications of low diluted solution, the fine particles of the unsealed road surface are bound hence reducing dust emissions considerably.

• Effective dust suppression

• Significant water savings

• Lowered maintenance cost

• Spray on application

• Easy and safe to apply

• Non slippery surface

• Non leaching
  

Product Features

• Extended workable time

• Increased cohesion

• Reduced water sensitivity

• Improved wet strength

• Retained pavement flexibility

• It’s a natural organic binding agent

• Environmentally friendly and non hazardous

• Made in Australia from natural materials

Water Savings

Soilbond dust control offers significant water savings when incorporated in a maintenance program made of on-going applications. Trials have shown that Soilbond® compared to traditional watering practices has reduced water consumption by as much as 80%.

Surface Maintenance

Soilbond® binds the fine particles of soil to form a cohesive surface crust. With on going applications, the crust is maintained to overcome surface wear due to traffic.

As Soilbond® has a cumulative effect, each maintenance application adds to the existing crust. Hence, the maintenance application frequency will be reduced overtime and the time between maintenance applications will increase. This cumulative effect also allows the rate of Soilbond® maintenance applications to be reduced over longer periods.

Applications

Soilbond dust suppressant can be used in sensitive areas requiring appropriate dust control programs, where dust represents a hazard and an environmental concern, such as:

• Mining sites

• Quarries

• Farming

• Industrial sites

• Construction and demolition sites

• Driveways and car parks

• Trafficked and non trafficked areas

Product Application Guidelines

Soilbond® dust control is a spray on, environmentally safe, water-based organic emulsion. It functions by binding the fine particles of soil to form a surface crust. With on-going applications, the crust is maintained to overcome traffic wear.

Dust Control treatment is achieved with a simple two stage topically applied spray on process:

• First Stage: Crust formation - 2 treatments over two days, 24 hours apart

• Second Stage: Crust maintenance - subsequent treatments as required

Equipment required for application:

• Water cart (spray bar or fan)

• Bitumen sprayer; or

• Hand-operated spraying system

Dust Suppression Application Table

• Mix 1 litre of Soilbond to 9 litres of water = 10 litres of diluted solution.

• Apply 2 litres of the diluted solution to each 1m².
