Government, Municipal, & Township Roads Dust Control
Protecting Air Quality and Reducing Costs with Effective Road Dust Control
As government, municipal, and township authorities strive to maintain safe and cost-effective roadways, road dust is one of the most challenging issues they face. In addition to being unsightly and impairing driver visibility, road dust can contribute to poor air quality and increased health risks for nearby residents. Furthermore, the ongoing maintenance required to control dust on gravel roads can significantly burden public works departments and budgetary resources. That’s where Laine Chemicals comes in, with innovative products designed to manage road dust and reduce maintenance costs effectively.

Application Questions
Our various products offer different characteristics. Our liquid calcium chloride is hygroscopic, which it attracts moisture from its environment keeping the road surface damp and dust particles down. Whereas our lignin sulfonates act as a “glue” binding dust particles together, keeping them in place on the ground.

Once your liquid treatment has had a chance to dry or absorb into the road base, it will be effective throughout the season depending on external factors. For most gravel roads, two applications are efficient for effective dust control throughout the season.
