The Dry Weather Solution for Dust Control in the Midwest
DUSTLOCK™ is a naturally occurring by-product of the vegetable oil refining process. When formulated correctly by Environmental Dust Control of the Midwest, it is an excellent material for suppressing dust in almost any application. Chemists have combined ingredients in DUSTLOCK™ to make it non-corrosive and friendly to equipment and environment alike.
DUSTLOCK™ penetrates into the bed of the material and 'bonds' to make a barrier that is naturally biodegradable. This means that DUSTLOCK™ stays where it is applied, ensuring that the surrounding ground and water are not contaminated.
Cost Effectiveness
Dustlock offers a quality surface with exceptional road durability that costs pennies on the dollar compared to permanent road surfaces.
Long Term Benefits
Dustlock is an element that contributes to the longevity of gravel or recycled asphalt roads. This formulation allows the oil to bond with road materials to become extremely “traffic friendly” in high or low traffic volume areas. In its residual form, Dustlock based material adds the opportunity for future road restoration.
Mission Statement
Our goal is to provide an effective, environmentally safe product and service that deals with dust control and road surface stabilization in all applications, by promoting the use of organically based, renewable, biodegradable resources.
ABOUT
Environmental Dust Control welcomes you to our website. In 1988 three Minnesota soybean/corn farmers addressed the issue of dust suppressants, pooled their resources and started Environmental Dust Control using readily available agriculture resources. DUSTLOCK™ was formulated to not only be cost effective but be environmentally responsible.
DUSTLOCK'S™ special environmentally responsible formulation is an effective method of dust control. DUSTLOCK™ usage will keep the applied areas virtually dust-free and environmentally safe. Because of the special formulation of DUSTLOCK™ some residual benefits are realized; DUSTLOCK™ will require less maintenance. Environmentally speaking, the impact is reduced by the care Environmental Dust Control, Inc. has taken in the formulation of DUSTLOCK™.
DUSTLOCK™ treatment on country roads not only keeps the dust down, but virtually eliminates mud and erosion of surface material (gravel).
City streets treated with DUSTLOCK™ are an economical alternative to asphalt or concrete pavement. In new developments and commuter communities this has proven to be highly effective.
