Did you know that dust suppression methods such as calcium chloride and magnesium chloride not only protect unpaved roads but also are used to achieve optimal base stabilization? When mixed with aggregate before blading and shaping, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride assist in achieving maximum density with less competitive effort. With a low freezing point to protect the unpaved surface against frost heave in winter, and low vapor pressure to help retain moisture & bind dust particles together in the summer months, it is the choice of rural communities across the region. An environmentally friendly and cost-effective long-lasting investment, the application of either chloride will continue to work its way through the surface and into the base several inches to consolidate the soil to not only strengthen the road but produce fugitive dust from vehicle traffic. Application rates vary based on the road base material, amount of traffic, and climate. We look forward to working with you to create a stabilization program specific to your community or project’s needs. More on NSI Road Stabilization can be found here in our Road Stabilization Product Sheet.
