Dust Suppression

Our DustCap product is formulated to spray onto roads, hard stands and trafficable areas to reduce dust emission from the surface. It is used in conjunction with our RBMA product. RBMA is designed to break down surface tension even with the most difficult soils and allows water to penetrate deeper into most soil types allowing the DustCap to draw down into the road surface. Roads degrade because water allows fines in the road to float to the surface when vibrated by passing traffic. This causes ruts, corrugations and dust emissions. DustCap is not a polymer-based product trying to glue particles together which tend to fail after a short time. After initial drying, DustCap prevents water from entering the surface of the roadway hence preventing fines floating to the surface. This unique product is unlike any other in the market and is used successfully in mines
within Australia. DustCap is a water based biodegradable product without any negative environmental impacts.

Advantages:
Suppresses and prevents dust forming on roads and similar surfaces by preventing water floating fines to the roadway surface. This prevents particles from becoming air borne. DustCap is slowly bio-degradable presenting no harm to the environment.

Typical Properties:
Appearance, DustCap is liquid at ambient temperature and is light cream in colour, with a specific gravity of approximately 1, pH is neutral.

Applications:
• Dust Control
• Road/highway Construction
• Hardstand and Trafficable areas
• Mining and Construction sites

Solubility:
DustCap is 100% miscible in water.

Shelf Life:
2 years from the date of manufacture, when stored at ambient conditions in the original container.

Our DustDown product is designed to be sprayed onto large areas of land to prevent dust emission from exposed soil, rock or sand.
DustDown provides a cap that prevents wind from picking up fines responsible for dust creation. Similarly, DustDown also prevents water from eroding soil surfaces. Seed can be mixed with this product on site and sprayed onto the soil surface. It also allows water to enter the soil and hold the moisture long enough for seed germination and proliferation. DustDown is not designed for use in trafficable areas. For these areas SGG Enterprises DustDown is the recommended product. DustDown is a water based biodegradable product without any negative environmental impacts.

Advantages:
Prevents dust emissions and soil erosion from wind and water. Additionally, seed can be mixed with DustDown on site, allows soil to remain moist for maximum seed germination. Easy to apply via a number of methods. DustDown is bio-degradable safe to flora and fauna in the environment.

Typical Properties:
Appearance, DustDown is liquid at ambient temperature and is white in colour, with a specific gravity of 1, pH is neutral. DustDown can be coloured
if required either in factory or on-site. DustDown is not designed for use in trafficable areas. For these areas SGG Enterprises DustDown is the recommended product.

Applications:
• Land Rehabilitation
• Road/highway Construction
• Stockpiling Soil/Ore
• Culvert Construction
• Golf Courses
• Sports Fields

Solubility:
DustDown is soluble in water.

Shelf Life:
12 months from the date of manufacture, when stored at ambient
conditions in the original container.

Wet IT Down is our next generation wetting agent further reducing the amount of water required for specific applications due to its more powerful
formulation.
Wet IT Down can save up to 35-50% water utilisation. Wet IT Down functions by greatly reducing the surface tension of water permitting excellent wetting even on the most hydrophobic natural and artificial soils. This allows better water penetration when Wet IT Down is utilised for Road Construction, Dust Suppression or Agricultural Projects. Wet IT Down therefore reduces the costs of water and the cost of application by reducing the water truck usage. This is of great benefit when water is scarce or expensive to acquire. There are no adverse environmental impacts when using Wet IT Down.
For natural soils higher water penetration, resulting in less evaporation, less water runoff, extended water coverage and longer times before reapplication allowing better equipment utilisation and reduced costs.

Advantages:
Penetrates deeper into soil or stockpile. Holds moisture longer but allows drainage to prevent sodden conditions. Suppresses dust on roads and similar surfaces by holding moisture on dust particles longer to prevent particles from becoming air borne. Wet IT Down is bio-degradable presenting no harm to the environment.

Typical Properties:
Appearance, Wet IT Down is liquid at ambient temperature and is light blue in colour, with a specific gravity of 1 pH is neutral.

Applications:
• Land rehabilitation
• Agriculture
• Stockpiles
• Mulch manufacturing
• Tree establishment
• Road construction
• Temporary dust control

Solubility:
Wet IT Down is soluble in water.
