EK35 Synthetic Organic Dust Control for Fines Preservation

What’s wrong with traditional dust control methods?

Sometimes, nothing. For emergency short-term dust control, there are products that will temporarily keep fines on the surface.

But our clients' need for more than temporary palliative care is the genesis of Midwest’s Gravel Runway program. Our Fines Preservation™ products, specifically EK35® and EnviroKleen®, have bonding agents in their formulas – synthetic organic in the case of EnviroKleen and organic in the case of EK35 – that you will not find in a traditional dust palliative. Treating the cause rather than the symptom, they stop fines from escaping from the surface, which not only prevents dust, but also increases runway strength, integrity, and surface life.
