Q: What makes DUST HOLD PRO different from traditional dust control methods? A: Unlike water, chlorides, lignosulphonates, and surfactants, DUST HOLD PRO forms a durable, water-resistant bond that holds soil together, lasts longer, and requires fewer applications.
Q: How long does it last after application? A: Depending on traffic and environmental conditions, DUST HOLD PRO can remain effective for 6-12 months before requiring reapplication. The duration of dust suppression depends on factors such as traffic volume, weather conditions, and soil type. In heavy industrial settings, a single application can provide effective dust control for several weeks to months.
Q: Is it environmentally safe for use around vegetation, livestock, and wildlife? A: Yes! DUST HOLD PRO is non-toxic, environmentally safe, and does not leach harmful chemicals into ground water or surface water. It is non-bio accumulative and effectively controls dust without introducing harmful chemicals into the environment.
Q: Can it be used in wet conditions? A: It’s best applied to dry surfaces with a measured pre-wetting for maximum penetration. Following that, the product is sprayed onto the surface. Using the product with wet ground conditions often results in too much moisture in the soil for best results. DUST HOLD PRO will remain effective even after rainfall once cured.
Q. How long does DUST HOLD PRO take to dry? A: DUST HOLD PRO can dry in as little as 4 hours and take as long as 72 hours. It is dependent on temperature and humidity. As a rule of thumb, leave the product to dry over an afternoon and evening and test the treated surface the next day.
Q:Is clean-up after using DUST HOLD PRO easy? A: Yes, cleaning your equipment is straightforward with DUST HOLD PRO's Natural Enzyme Cleaner. After application, fill your water tank with clean water and add 1 gallon of the Natural Enzyme Cleaner per 2,000 gallons of water. Circulate the mixture through the system, ensuring it passes through the spray nozzles, and then let it sit overnight. After approximately 8 hours, drain the tank; the enzyme solution will have effectively cleaned the tank walls and system components. Our Natural Enzyme Cleaner is environmentally friendly and leaves no harmful residues. Two (2) gallons are provided with each purchase of a tote.
Q:Can DUST HOLD PRO be used on all types of soil and unpaved surfaces? A: DUST HOLD PRO is versatile and can be applied to various soil types and unpaved surfaces, including gravel roads, construction sites, and agricultural paths.
Q:Does DUST HOLD PRO require any special equipment for application? A: DUST HOLD PRO can be applied using standard spraying equipment, such as water trucks or agricultural sprayers with a large, fan spray nozzle. Ensure that the equipment is clean and properly calibrated for even distribution of the product.
Q:How does DUST HOLD PRO compare to other dust control methods? A: Unlike water, chloride derivatives (salts), vegetable oils, and lignosulphonates, which provide short-lived or only temporary dust suppression, DUST HOLD PRO offers longer-lasting results. It binds soil particles together, reducing the need for constant maintenance and conserving water resources.
Q: Can DUST HOLD PRO be used in freezing conditions? A: While DUST HOLD PRO is effective in various climates, its application is affected by a Minimum Freeze Forming Temperature (MFFT) of 46 degrees F. It also should not be subjected to freezing temperatures when drying. It's best to apply and dry at 46 degrees F. and above.
Q:Are there specific storage requirements for DUST HOLD PRO? A: DUST HOLD PRO should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure that the container is tightly sealed to prevent contamination or evaporation. Storage temperatures should range between 41 and 95 degrees F.
