Magnesium and calcium chlorides are commonly used as dust suppressants on unpaved roads. These chloride compounds are used for dust control because they are hygroscopic and deliquescent…meaning that they have the ability to absorb moisture from the humid air. The absorbed moisture helps limit dust by keeping the surface of the road moist enough to hold the dust particles down... read more »
Earthbind® is considered to be an environmentally-friendly bio-based modified asphalt emulsion that is specifically made for dust control. Both Earthbind® 100 and Earthbind® Stabilizer can be used for dust control on unpaved roads. For aggregate roads, we recommend Earthbind Stabilizer or Earthbind 100 on roads with more of a soil/aggregate mixture. EnviRoad, LLC is the creator and manufacturer of Earthbind... read more »

A recent study done by a team of scientists from Colorado State University and Colorado Parks & Wildlife determined that magnesium chloride, when applied to roadways, can ultimately have detrimental effects on important aquatic benthic macroinvertebrates (Kotalik, et al. 2017). Aquatic macroinvertebrates are important to fish, amphibians, and other wildlife as a food source. Benthic macroinvertebrates are small organisms that... read more »
For the first time in history, Earthbind® is being implemented on the lowest location in the world - the Dead Sea beach - to keep dust out of a young date plantation. We are proud to note that Earthbind® is the only product in the world that is currently being used on the Dead Sea to control dust. From an... read more »

Prime Coats can be very beneficial to the construction of bituminous pavements. A prime can be defined as the application of a binder material that is applied to the surface of a compacted granular base, as a preliminary treatment before the subsequent application of surface treatment. For bituminous pavement construction, prime coats are normally applied to: Strengthen the surface of... read more »
Tack coats are very important for a paving process. A tack coat can be defined as a thin layer of bituminous liquid that is applied as an emulsion, cutback, or paving grade asphalt unto an existing asphalt or concrete pavement prior to an overlay and/or between layers of new asphalt paving lifts. A tack coat is applied to promote bonding.... read more »
Water is the biggest contributor to the deterioration of unpaved roads. Regardless whether it seeps in from above or below, water simply destroys roads. Besides rutting and eroding away an unsealed road surface, water causes the development of potholes. Problems with an unpaved road can quickly develop if there is no properly shaped crown and drainage ditches to shed rainwater.... read more »
