RoadSaver®-C

An odorless and colorless brine solution that can be used as a cost effective dust palliative and road stabilizer

The natural hygroscopic properties of RoadSaver®-C aids in retaining moisture and significantly improve dust control and support soil stabilization. RoadSaver®-C acts as a binder that holds fine particles and aggregate together resulting in a hard compact surface. The following four factors work together to achieve optimum results:

  • Quality and Composition of Aggregate
  • Road Prep
  • Compaction
  • Application rate

Dust Control
Topical Applications work well for dust control needs. Application rates are determined by the concentration of the calcium chloride, the aggregate used, climate, and the amount of traffic. Treated roads hold fines longer and promote compaction resulting in lower maintenance. Our knowledgeable sales staff can assist you in assessing your road conditions and application needs.

Road Stabilization
For stabilization, the application methods can vary, depending on climate, road base, budgetary concerns and equipment. Our sales staff is up to date on the latest methods and will work with you to create a stabilization program. Stabilization applications can be used prior to chip seals or asphalt overlays to create a longer lasting surface.

Environmentally Friendly
Treated roads produce less dust, leading to improved public safety, lower impact on nearby crops and higher air quality for local residents. RoadSaver®-C (calcium chloride) is one of the most environmentally friendly dust control agents on the market, receiving the lowest toxicity rating among dust abatement products.

RoadSaver®

RoadSaver is a high purity grade of Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) used as a dust control and road stabilization agent

RoadSaver is a hygroscopic compound that attracts moisture from the air and resists evaporation. Roadsaver binds fine dust and aggregate to keep surfaces stable and dust free.

  • Used on cities, counties and haul roads
  • Feed lots
  • Construction areas

X-Hesion® Pro

Ultra-low chloride based formulations utilizing agriculturally derived, complex organic polymer

These polymers function to keep the surfaces of several types of road base stable and dust free while maintaining a road surface that is flexible and water resistant. X-Hesion Pro is an ultra-low chloride based dust control product that helps to limit the amount of chlorides introduced into the environment versus traditional dust palliatives. The enhanced X-Hesion Pro formulation is both more effective at drawing/retaining moisture and is more weather resistant. The result is a stronger fine particle – aggregate matrix that reduces dust to a PM10 standard and yields a road surface that is compact, water resistant and durable.

Road surface preparation is extremely important in all application techniques. However, these preparations do not need to be time consuming or costly. The better the road conditions, the more successful the application will be.

The following four factors work together to achieve optimum results:

  1. Quality and Composition of Aggregate
  2. Road Preparation
  3. Compaction
  4. Application

X-Hesion Pro can be used on the following surfaces:

  • Unpaved state, county and township roads
  • Quarries/mine/haul roads
  • Orchards/agricultural roads
  • Federal/state parks
  • Military roads /federal projects
  • Private and rural roads
  • Parking lots
  • Tree/flower/shrub nurseries
  • Airfields and helicopter pads
  • Feedlots

“X-Hesion Pro has made our dust control measures and program more cost effective without a large change to the processes.”

DuraBlend®-C

Effective for road maintenance as well as mining, oil & gas

DuraBlend-C achieves the same performance as a typical chloride treatment, but can require half the amount of product per application. DuraBlend-C’s enhanced polymer blend helps it bond to the aggregate, lowering migration of chloride from the road to improve friction in moisture situations and provide for safer driving surfaces.

Road preparation for DuraBlend-C application is the same as for a typical chloride product, including rolling after grading is finished. This process provides for optimal surface penetration of DuraBlend-C into the top half inch of the road and improves fleet efficiency.

This product is applied to roads using the standard spray system, but can cover twice as much area per truck load than full chloride products. It does not require blade mixing to extend performance. Continual use reduces road base loss and improves the efficiency of the fleet, reducing man hours.

DuraBlend®

A full chloride product most prominent for dust control and road stabilization in North America

DuraBlend achieves the same performance as a typical magnesium chloride treatment, but can require half the amount of product per application. DuraBlend’s enhanced polymer blend helps it bond to the aggregate, lowering migration of chloride from the road to improve friction in moisture situations and provide for safer driving surfaces.

With more scrutiny coming from local municipalities and concerns of neighbors makes products that reduce chlorides advantageous in managing these relationships.

Road preparation for DuraBlend application is the same as for a typical chloride product, including rolling after grading is finished. This process provides for optimal surface penetration of DuraBlend into the top half inch of the road and improves fleet efficiency. When a pad or site is being set up, the application of DuraBlend can greatly ease dust management, once operations begin.

PRODUCT RESOURCES

Nature’s Best®

A blend of natural granular and liquid deicer products, safe for concrete, asphalt, metal, animals and vegetation

Nature’s Best is created through the application of a high-performance liquid deicer to granular ice-melt using “pre-wetting” technology and concepts currently in use by major government and commercial deicing operations. Through this pre-wetting process, granular ice-melt performs better, melts faster and lasts longer.

For best results, remove any existing loose snow and slush from driveways, steps and walkways prior to application of ice-melt. Evenly sprinkle Nature’s Best on desired surfaces. Melting should begin immediately. Once snow and ice have sufficiently melted, shovel off slush. Thick accumulations may require additional application. Nature’s Best may also be kept in cars and trucks for use any time when traction is needed.

Unique color enhances performance. The unique color of Nature’s Best serves as a guide to where and how much has been applied. Usage is generally half as much and half as often as compared with other deicers. The blue color absorbs heat from the sun on cold sunny days to help the melting process.

Do not use on concrete that is less than one year old, or that was not properly mixed, finished, or cured. Flaking or spalling may occur when using any ice-melting product on concrete surfaces, especially those that are poorly constructed, contain porous concrete or act as a mortar joints between bricks and flagstone. When used in these situations, Nature’s Best should cause less damage than most other deicers and will reduce the number of concrete freeze/thaw cycles, which also greatly contributes to concrete damage.

Mag Chloride Hexahydrate

Engineered Speed and Effectiveness

Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate is fast acting, solid deicer, working immediately upon contact with snow and ice surfaces. Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate works effectivel to -13 degrees F.

Magnesium Chloride Hexahydrate flakes are flat in shape to help decrease bounce and scatter, allowing the material to stay in centralized locations. These flakes are odorless and can be used in addition to sodium chloride to help initiate the brining process, and can also be mixed with sand to help increase penetration of ice and snow. Mag Hex is a deicer that’s substantially less corrosive than Calcium Chloride and has toxicity levels lower than those of baking soda, salt and aspirin.

Calcium Chloride Pellet

Deicer Solid Engineered for Speed

Calcium Chloride pellets are a fast acting, granular deicer, that works immediately upon contact with snow and ice surfaces. Each pellet generates heat allowing for effectiveness to -25 degrees F.

Calcium Chloride pellets are round in shape to help increase melting down to the covered surface. The round shape drives the Calcium Chloride into the snow and ice, rather than allowing it to spread along the top. These pellets are odorless and can be used in addition to sodium chloride to help initiate the brining process, and can also be mixed with sand to help increase penetration of ice and snow.
