DirtGlue Polymer Emulsions
are powerful,
high-tech bonding agents specifically engineered and formulated to bond
soil particles together. Applied to the surface of the soil,
DirtGlue Polymer
Emulsions form a protective, flexible film that eliminates dust,
prevents mud and controls erosion thereby providing a solution to today's
challenging dust and erosion control requirements.
As DirtGlue Polymer
Emulsion bonds the individual soil particles
together and dries, it forms a flexible "crust" that strengthens the
surface of the soil. It creates a three-dimensional matrix (depth varies
depending on type of application and performance requirements) in the soil
resulting in enhanced stability and durability.
As non-hazardous, water-soluble products,
DirtGlue Polymer Emulsions
may be applied to environmentally sensitive areas such as wetland
buffer zones. They have no harmful effects on people, animals, fish, or
other aquatic life.
We offer 2 brands of DirtGlue Polymer Emulsions.
Each is formulated for different performance requirements.

DustLess – Why It Works & How it Works
The least expensive dust control is DustLess.
DustLess does not function like water or chlorides:
1. Water surrounds individual soil and/or dust particles
thus "floating" the individual particle. When a particle is floated by
application of water there is a space in between each soil particle (a
space filled with a microscopic amount of water). If enough water is
applied to eliminate all dust then every soil particle is separated by
water. This separation reduces friction because the particles no longer
touch the adjacent particle directly. This phenomenon commences
immediately upon reaching optimum moisture content (OMC) in the soil. Once
you exceed OMC even by a very small percentage you have mud. If you do not
reach OMC then you do not have complete dust control. Wetted soil sticks
to stuff, it tracks, it has low coefficient of friction, and it
immediately begins to dry out (all bad things). Very short effective life
span and many reapplications to created at best modest dust control that
is constantly changing in effectiveness.
2. Chlorides work by drawing moisture out of the air thus
dampening the soil. Same problem as water, not enough chloride and you do
not have complete dust control. Too much chloride and you have hard and
soft spots in the soil, some areas overtreated and some areas undertreated.
Any amounts of chloride and you have corrosion of vehicles and equipment;
you have the health issue of breathing in dried, chlorided soil as the
control goes away. Chlorides require several applications per year.
Chloride applications are only effective if there is substantial
moisture/humidity in the air. A heavy rain event washes away chloride dust
control requiring reapplication. Continual use of salts (chlorides) over
extended periods of time kill adjacent vegetation, and polluter ground
water.
3.
DustLess works differently. It is specially formulated to
absorb into the individual soil particles rather than surround and "float"
the particle as does water. By absorbing in and not surrounding the
particle the individual particles remain in direct contact with each other
keeping the soil surface firm, good coefficient of friction (traction), no
stickiness thus no tracking. The product is not alkaline, it is not
acidic, it is non-corrosive, and non-hazardous. Effective dust control
last for about one year (9 - 15 months). Watering is never required.
Climate or humidity are not factors. It does not wash away or dilute in rain events. Reapplications after the initial application are done at a
much lower rate to renew highly effective, long lasting control.
In the long run (i.e.: over a
few years) the DustLess applications are always cheaper, are always more
effective, and are always better from a health point of view. All this
with no negative environmental issues and no corroded equipment
