Dust Control

Dust brought up by winds cause obstruction to view.
 Dust control helps preserve a soil body’s integrity by keeping its surface intact.  ROAD-HARD preserves natural compaction by adhering to soil particles and binding them so they remain on the ground. The result is a dramatic reduction of dust, far less natural erosion from wind and rain, and less soil pollution in waterways and populated areas. ROAD-HARD provides a stable surface area that also helps control erosion.


  • Improves air quality for better visibility and health
  • Addresses EPA’s PM 10 compliance standards.
  • Prolongs the life of machinery and equipment
  • Reduces maintenance repair costs.
Clean, Cost-effective Dust Control
                               Environmentally Friendly
  • Parking lots and driveways
  • Gravel and dirt roads
  • Work areas and hardstands
  • Livestock areas
  • Construction sites
  • Runways and aprons
Shallowly applied ROAD-HARD
Application of ROAD-HARD for dust control is control is typically applied at 1/4 inch depth for dust control.
Application: ROAD-HARD Dust Control is typically applied at 1/4 inch depth for dust control. The treated soil particles are bound by the polymer with some flexibility. Deeper beds of dust will require more product.
  •  Apply 1/4 inch dry ROAD-HARD® polymer with a drop spreader and blend into the soil.
  • Wet the polymer with ROAD-HARD® additive dissolved in water, compact, and allow to dry.

Value Proposition:
Detailed cost comparisons show real savings using ROAD-HARD for dust control vs. applying water to a designated area 2x per day over a period of 60 days.
Area to be treated: 
A two-lane unsurfaced road, 1 mile long.
1 mile x 20 ft. x 5,280 ft. = 105,600 sq.ft (2.42 acres)
ROAD-HARD dust control:
Product required: (with 0% aggregate/gravel) = 4,400 lbs
4,224 lbs x $1.60 per pound ($0.064 per sq. ft.) x 105,600 sq.ft
​Total =$6,758

5,900 gallons of water @ ($X)+
Fuel expense @ ($25)+
Truck expense @ ($60)+
Labor @ (2 men x $20/hr. x 4 hrs = $160)
Total =$245 
Total Cost: ($6,758 + $245) = $7,003 per mile + water 

Using water only:
5,900 gallons of water per application @ ($X)+
Estimated at 2 x per day
Fuel expense @ ($25)+
Truck expense @ ($60)+
Labor @ (2 men x $20/hr. x 4 hrs = $160)
=$245​
Total Cost: ($245 x 60 days)= $14,700 Minimum + water
