Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. announced that EK35® (patent pending) has just been confirmed by Boeing®-Performed Testing to be non-injurious to aircraft surfaces when used as a stabilizing agent and dust suppressant. EK35® joins previously approved EnviroKleen® as another valuable tool for gravel runway operators to eliminate dust, minimize aggregate segregation, minimize grading, minimize loss of valuable material and improve CBR values for improved runway smoothness and rated performance.
Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. is a leader in dust control technology and invention. Its flagship product Soil-Sement® has been successful on various projects throughout the world in controlling airborne dust and soil stabilization. For instance, on one project for the City of Phoenix Aviation Department, Soil-Sement® was successfully utilized in controlling fugitive dust in open areas as well as stabilizing foreign object debris (FOD) created by British Air 747’s jet blast.
At Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, Soil-Sement® was used to stabilize arid desert sand and keep it from affecting the base’s equipment. The jet blast was causing fine desert sand to become airborne causing major problems in both health and safety. The fine particles would work their way into moving components causing friction, resulting in mechanical stress and maintenance problems. Soil-Sement® effectively reduced PM10 emissions, decreased maintenance problems and improved air quality and visibility.
