World-class dust suppressants for mines and construction sites

17 September 2024
A TLB with its front scoop raised on a dusty construction site, hinting to the need for dust suppressants.

In the construction, agriculture and mining sectors, dust suppressants are essential to worker health and safety. Large volumes of dust are produced by the ongoing movement of rock, dirt, and other materials, which can be extremely dangerous for the environment and for workers. The risks associated with excessive dust include respiratory conditions, impaired vision, and increased chances of accidents. 

Breathing in small dust particles can cause silicosis, bronchitis and asthma, among other respiratory issues. In severe situations, these illnesses can be fatal. This is why specialised dust suppressants are needed in these industries, and Gold Reef Speciality Chemicals is an authority with several solutions. 

Gold Reef produces a range of high-performance, bespoke chemicals for numerous industries. Our dedication to chemicals, of the highest calibre, is complemented by our unique speciality services that help us guarantee the ideal chemical solutions for your company.

Gold Reef: Leaders in dust suppressants

Our range of Glodust products is used to minimise the difficulties associated with dust control in the mining, agriculture and construction industries. These ground-breaking products are designed to bind dust particles together, keeping them from floating into the air while fostering a safer, healthier work environment. We offer the following chemicals:

  1. Glodust 1410 – This product is a styrene acrylic copolymer emulsion that successfully attaches dust particles to the surface, which lowers the amount of dust in the air and increases visibility. The use of Glodust 1410 is recommended for hauling highways, stockpiles, and other locations where airborne particles are likely to be generated.

  2. Glodust 1406 – This is a soft styrene acrylic copolymer emulsion that is designed especially for tough environments. Glodust 1406 provides outstanding effectiveness in reducing dust. It is a great option for building sites and mines with variable weather conditions because of its great efficacy in managing dust on moist or wet surfaces.

  3. Glodust 1405 – This is a fine particle size emulsion designed to provide prolonged protection against dust re-suspension. Glodust 1405 is a water-soluble polymer that not only suppresses dust instantly but also forms lasting chemical bonds. Once cured, it creates a resilient layer akin to cement or water-based paint, providing a host of benefits for various sectors.

  4. Glodust 8002 – This surfactant is a multipurpose dust suppressant that can be used on haul roads, stockpiles, and various types of surfaces. It has better traction and load-bearing capabilities in addition to delivering outstanding dust management.

  5. Agriseal 1120 – Although it was mainly created for use in agriculture, Agriseal 1120 can, under some circumstances, be used as a dust suppressor. It’s a polymer solution that enhances soil structure, which can help to keep dust particles attached to the ground.

By reducing dust pollution, these chemicals not only preserve human health but also promote environmental sustainability. Glodust is a world-class line of dust suppressants that has been extensively researched and developed over the years by the experts at Gold Reef.
