Road Dust Control: 8 Types of Roads That Would Benefit

​If you are responsible for a jobsite involving roads, you are aware of the importance of implementing an effective and safe road dust control method. Road dust is a major problem that can affect one’s health and the environment.

Thankfully to any dust challenge, the Envirotac line of polymers, by Environmental Products & Applications, is the solution. Using the most advanced polymers to control dust for a variety of applications, there is no road that would not benefit. The Envirotac line can be used to control dust on a number of road applications including (but not limited to):

• Construction Roads: Used to control fugitive dust on construction roads and sites. When applied, water is no longer needed to control and prevent PM10. 
• Military Roads: Used on supply roads and runways, to name a few, to keep soil stabilized and dust at bay.
• Heavy Haul Roads: Used to prevent dust, wear and erosion, while helping to save water and prevent damage to equipment.
• Fire Access Roads: Used to achieve a much greater than the max PSI amount required at a fraction of the cost of building a fire access road with traditional means. 
• Border Patrol Roads: Used to prevent dust from giving up the location of Border Patrol vehicles. The polymers will prevent dust and eliminate the need to regrade the road by eliminating potholes and wash boarding. 
• Oil Roads: Used to help reduce job costs and increase safety throughout the site.
• Mine Access Roads: Used to reduce dust and water usage.
• Unpaved Roads: Used to increase the CBR, increase compaction, reduce soils permeability, create a dust free surface, and increase traction even when wet, all at a fraction of the cost of other methods.

 
The Envirotac line of polymers are used on roads around the world and are trusted by the United States Military. In a test conducted by the United States Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, our Envirotac polymer was 97% effective. The second most effective was a competing polymer that was shown to only be 90% effective.
 
When looking for a road dust control method that will prevent dust, reduce job cost, and create a safer environment, look no further than Environmental Products & Applications, the leader in dust control and soil stabilization.
