You are constantly faced with the challenges of maintaining site surfaces. Hazardous dust in storage yards from stockpiles and roadways can significantly increase maintenance costs as well as lower on-site productivity. In fact, unchecked dust and unstable soil conditions can hurt almost every aspect of your operations – from unsafe traffic areas to ineffective maintenance of storage yards and clogged filters causing faulty equipment.
Stabilizing open areas, stockpiles and roads can significantly decrease clogging in equipment filters, the need for watering trucks, complaints from neighbors and their associated costs.
We have four primary products designed specifically for fugitive dust control and haul road stabilization. Each product was developed to be environmentally safe and provide superior performance. They have also been extensively tested in the field, in our state-of-the-art laboratory and by independent organizations such as the US EPA, California Air Resource Board and Canada ETV.
To see more information, technical specifications, articles, environmental data and success stories on these products, make a selection from the products listed below:
Soil-Sement®
A polymer emulsion blend. Soil-Sement® “cures” and dries clear. It is considered non-hazardous per OSHA and EPA definitions. It is particularly effective for environmentally sensitive areas or areas where natural aesthetics are required.
Road Oyl®
A patented resin-modified emulsion that provides a cold applied high performance treatment for stockpiles, bare earth or unpaved roads. Formulated from tree resin ingredients, this state-of-the-art, non-ionic emulsion technology is unique in its high bonding strength and is appropriate for use even in close proximity to wetland areas and other areas of environmental sensitivity. Road Oyl® provides the clean, high performance technology needed for any type of project requiring dust control and soil stabilization.
EnviroKleen®
Synthetic Organic Dust Control™ that is clear to slightly tinted upon application and will usually make the soil appear darker. It is considered non-hazardous, colorless, and odorless and will not trigger reporting requirements when used properly for NPDES regulations, nor will it create oil-sheen. Does not require dilution with water.
EK35®
Formulated with the same Synthetic Organic Dust Control™ as EnviroKleen®, but is modified with naturally-occurring resins that work to agglomerate fine silt or clay particles making them larger so they cannot become airborne. EK35® is particularly well suited for applications with heavy equipment or where there is carry-over and spillage. The natural penetration and action of the traffic “work” the EK35® into the surface.
Road Pro NT®
Road Pro NT® is a polymer modified asphalt emulsion used as a multi-component dust control agent. It works by penetrating, saturating, then bonding surface dust and aggregate together. Road Pro NT® prevents the surface from becoming rigid and brittle, therefore reducing the likelihood of cracking.
Midwest also understands that managing a program in-house is extremely difficult with the internal demands and pressures on management. And outsourcing is not necessarily easy. We have the programs that provide either turnkey control of fugitive dust or a guaranteed program of monitoring and maintaining the prescribed level of dust control.
