RDC Road Dust Control works by keeping the fines in the pavement by drawing in moisture from the atmosphere, keeping the pavement damp, well compacted and ultimately keeps good roads good. 

In the right conditions RDC will last the summer season. 

 

APPLICATION RATE

Generally 2ltrs per sqm, with a top up of 1 ltr per sqm if and when required (not typically required)

​

INDUSTRIES 

Rural roading – Dusty gravel roads
Haul Roads - Forestry, Mining, Construction Sites & Agriculture
Mining Applications
Commercial Yards 
Highway Construction
Equestrian Arenas
 

FAST FACTS 

RDC is a non-corrosive, inexpensive, instantaneous hygroscopic dust suppression system which draws moisture from the ambient atmosphere.  RDC binds the small soil particles around large soil particles keeping fines in the road where they belong.  RDC increases the strength of road material under dry conditions by keeping the material well bound over the dusty summer season and reducing particulate matter to well within PM10 standards.

​

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

RDC is environmentally safe non corrosive dust suppression product that helps save resources such as water, aggregate replacement, machinery running costs, labour, administration time and public health issues.

​

Locking down dust for extended periods with RDC affords communities who live on rural unsealed roads a healthier and safer living environment which in turn saves the Local Authorities and Councils resources, time and funding.

​

Application is rapid and the results are instant – no dust!

​

RDC can be diluted to lower the frequency of watering for dust control, saving precious resources.

​

Treated roads can be maintained by a light maintenance grade and compaction with limited or no effect on performance.

​

Easy installation with a purpose built water truck or tractor spray unit, minimising the need for costly construction equipment.

​

Used within maintenance cycles it has the benefit of keeping the pavement close to the Optimum Water Content which allows compaction from vehicles.

​

The use of RDC improves the running surface of treated roads, by reducing rolling resistance and maintaining surface integrity.

​

Generally 1 treatment per season; first application at start of the summer season.  Rejuvenation is usually 50% of initial application rate if and when rising dust becomes an issue.
