EK35 dust control

Tough on Dust, Easy on the Environment

Runway or roadway, concert venue to construction site to unpaved open area, if the problem is fugitive dust or an unstable surface, the antidote is Midwest's EK35®.

Created in our laboratory, EK35 was the first Synthetic Organic Dust Control® product on the market. Unique in the industry, this product has a resin binder system that capture fines and keeps them locked into the surface, preventing fugitive dust from escaping.

EK35 is formulated with a resin binder and is a superior choice for industrial, construction, and municipal applications. It quickly penetrates dust and remains actively effective on clay, sand, gravel, limestone, and most native soils regardless of the weather or how severe the traffic.

The binder system interlocks and durably binds surface aggregate and fines together through both cohesive and adhesive mechanisms. As fines are generated, they are captured, preventing them from escaping as dust.

 EK35 is cost-effective for controlling PM10 and PM2.5 from open fugitive dust sources, and unlike other available products it will not track onto public roadways or stick to vehicles. EK35 provides longer-lasting performance and requires fewer applications than other dust control and surface-stabilization methods – regardless of season.
