How do I prevent road dust?
Dust suppressants are sprayed onto the road surface, which binds the particles that come into contact with it and prevents them from becoming airborne when agitated by the wind, tyre action or vehicle turbulence. Dust suppressants also lower the freezing point of precipitation.
What is used for road dust control?
The two most frequently used dust suppressant options are calcium chloride and magnesium chloride, which are hygroscopic (moisture attracting) materials that draw moisture from the air to provide extended dust suppression.
How do you keep your car clean on a dirt road?
All the dirt and mud from rural roads can really build up quickly. To cut through the dirt on the outside of your car and on the windshield, sprinkle some cream of tartar on the area and wipe it clean with soapy water. Then rinse the area with clean water.
Does sodium chloride work for dust control?
Treated surfaces are not effective at holding ambient moisture; therefore, dust is easily raised. These surfaces become rutted, and loose gravel builds up along the sides of the road. Thus, sodium chloride typically is used to stabilize the road base and is topped with calcium chloride to control dust.
How long does calcium chloride last for dust control?
Most customers find that one application of Calcium Chloride for dust control will last them through the year. There are a few things to consider though. If the application area if considered “high traffic,” it may take two or more applications a year.
How do you temporarily cover dirt?
If you have areas of bare dirt with small weeds, you can cover them with mulch, bark or wood chips.
How do you keep a black car clean on a dirt road?

Can you use motor oil for dust?
Spreading water over unpaved roads tames dust but results are only temporary. In years past, it was common to spread used engine oil to hold down dust, but this threatens the environment and is now illegal. Keep in mind that anything sprayed on a road surface can enter water supplies through wind or water erosion.
What oil is used on gravel roads?
Vegetable oils can also be used for gravel road dust control. These can be linseed, cottonseed and soybean oil, wool grease derivatives, soapstock, etc. They have a small binding capability. Since very prone to oxidation, these dust suppressants form a brittle surface.
What are dust suppressants?
Dust suppressants are materials used to control particulate matter emissions from land surfaces. They can include physical covers (such as vegetation, aggregate, mulches, or paving) and chemical compounds.
