Dust Palliative

Dust palliatives are special substances applied to unpaved roads or surfaces to stabilize dust. They work by binding the particles together, reducing the amount of dust that becomes airborne when vehicles pass over. This not only improves air quality but also enhances driving safety and decreases road maintenance costs. Dust palliatives can be made from various materials like emulsified asphalt, calcium chloride, or lignosulfonates. They are typically sprayed or spread on the surface and may require periodic reapplication to maintain effectiveness, especially in areas with heavy traffic or dry, windy conditions.
