Product Details

Earthbind® 100 is a quality, versatile and environmentally-friendly modified biopolymer dust control and soil stabilization agent. Earthbind® 100 was developed to meet the need for a quality and environmentally-friendly product that can be safely stored and easily applied. Earthbind® 100 can successfully combat fugitive dust and stabilize the road surface on many different types of unpaved, low- volume roads, parking lots, railroad yards, etc. throughout industrial, mining, military, private and public market sectors.

Earthbind® 100 works by binding loose soil or aggregate particles together, strengthening the soil/aggregate matrix and preventing even the smallest particles from becoming airborne as fugitive dust. In addition, Earthbind® 100 will add water resistance to the treated soil particles and will not re-emulsify in rainwater and wash off the road after curing. This is especially important in areas where the mitigation of sediment runoff from unpaved roads into streams is imperative.

Earthbind® 100 is sold and transported in concentrate form and is diluted with water prior to application. Earthbind® 100 can also be used as an effective road base stabilizer.

As a dust palliative Earthbind® 100 provides:

• Superior dust cohesion and suppression
• Efficient dust control under a variety of conditions
• Excellent penetration of road surface without pre-watering
• Applies quickly without road closures using a water truck or pressurized distributor truck
• Easy clean-up - washes off of equipment and vehicles before curing

All components of Earthbind® 100 are considered:

• Free of hazardous solvents
• Non-flammable
• Non-corrosive to metal
• Not considered to be harmful to aquatic and mammal life
• Not considered to be carcinogenic

With trends continuing towards strict health, safety and environmental regulations, Earthbind® 100 is an efficient and effective method to reduce dust-related environmental and health concerns. Earthbind®100 also aids in complying with clean air and water requirements by reducing airborne dust and preventing erosion.

Traditional dust control products are made of potentially carcinogenic petroleum oils and are diluted in highly volatile and flammable solvents. Others contain chemicals that are reported to be corrosive to metal, vehicles or other equipment that may come into contact with the treated areas. Some contain soluble anions that are harmful to aquatic organisms or become absorbed by plant roots. Once absorbed, anions are transported to leaves and twigs where they eventually accumulate to toxic levels. Anions can also raise the osmotic concentration of the soil, thereby diminishing the availability of water to plant roots and retarding metabolic functions of photosynthesis and growth.

Other dust control products are water-soluble. Rainfall can cause the product to wash off into surface waters. When the product reaches these waterways it reduces light penetration and can lead to the reduction of photosynthesis by phytoplankton, lowering the oxygen balance and interfering with aquatic life.

Earthbind® 100 is a safe, long-lasting and economical solution for base stabilization, dust and erosion control. The individual components of Earthbind® 100 are not considered to be carcinogenic. When recommended application and handling procedures are followed Earthbind® 100 is considered to be safe to humans and the environment. Once applied and with adequate time to cure Earthbind® 100 is resistant to water and does not re-emulsify when it rains.
