Product Overview
Dust Stop® is an environmentally friendly
polymer that binds small dust and soil
particles on the soil surface to prevent
erosion and mitigate fugitive dust. Dust
Stop® is safe, effective, easy to apply, and salt
free. One application of Dust Stop®
significantly decreases water requirements
and mitigates dust.
Primary Applications
- Dust control and suppression
- Newly cleared construction and building sites
- Mine tailings and spoil piles
- Road and highway construction
- Hydroseeding and water truck application
- Gravel & dirt roads, staging areas, parking lots, and other unpaved areas.
Features and Benefits
- Decreases wind and traffic induced dust
- Significantly decreases water requirements
- Salt free
- Decreases soil/dust movement
- Increases water penetration, reducing runoff
- Improves air quality
- Drinking water quality polymer
- Environmentally friendly, biodegradable
- Reduces operational and cleanup costs
- Helps achieve regulatory compliance
Directions for Use
- Shake well before opening as separation may have occurred.
- APS Dust Stop® Emulsions may be applied with hydroseeders, water trucks or other spraying devices. Spraying devices having a mechanical agitator or mixing apparatus or hydraulic recirculation work best.
- Pour emulsion into water stream while filling tank or into a filled tank with mixing apparatus running. Allow emulsion to mix for five minutes before application.
- APS Dust Stop® Emulsion must be added at the end of the final mix and sprayed immediately. 100% coverage is required for best results (i.e. entire surface has been sprayed/treated).
- Caution – Do not exceed 1 gallons of emulsion / 1000 gallons as viscosity of the water may reduce spraying efficiency or damage spraying equipment.
Application Rates
Dust Stop® liquid:
1-5 gallons per acre
Do not exceed 1 gallon Dust Stop /
1,000 gallons of water (in tank)
Precautions / Limitations
- Use only as directed – exceeding suggested application rates will not improve performance.
- Do not exceed 1 gallon Dust Stop liquid in 1000 gallons of water to prevent clogging hydroseeding or other spray equipment
- Clean up spills quickly. Do not use water unless necessary, extremely slippery conditions will result.
- Consult manufacturer (Applied Polymer Systems) or authorized distributor for assistance
- Lifespan will vary depending on site and environmental conditions, traffic frequency, maintenance
