Dust Control
Calcium and magnesium chloride dust control, applied with GPS tracking and float monitoring.
Overview
Northern Salt values our customers' time, budget, and safety when providing dust control solutions to our vast customer portfolio ranging from residents of rural communities to large municipalities. Our state of the art GPS tracking system with float monitoring technology provides our customers with accurate product application rates and a printed meter reading report of gallons down during service.
Dust control provides a cleaner, safer air quality and home environment for those who live on gravel roads. When a road can retain its aggregate, there is a reduced need for new gravel to be hauled in and graded. It also makes roads less susceptible to potholes and wash boarding.
We utilize both calcium chloride and magnesium chloride as products of choice. Our products are hygroscopic, meaning they attract moisture from the atmosphere and resist evaporation, working to retain moisture in road surfaces so dust is diminished and stability increases.
Dust control is healthier for local crops, vegetation, lakes, and streams because fewer particles are lost to air and waterways. Loose gravel can damage vehicles and cause unsafe road conditions; treated roads stay tighter and safer.
