Dust can be a major problem for industries across Australia, causing health hazards, equipment damage, and regulatory compliance issues. At Erizon, we’ve provided superior dust suppression solutions for over 25 years. Our methods consistently achieve better dust control results, are environmentally friendly, and offer targeted functional longevity. In this blog post, we’ll explain how our dust suppression solutions can benefit industries across Australia.

Common Dust Challenges Facing Australian Industries

Dust is a major issue for industries across Australia, with traditional dust control solutions requiring frequent re-application and having a short life span. This can result in increased costs, downtime, and regulatory compliance issues. Erizon has taken a different approach, utilising advanced dust suppression methods that create durable, water-resistant, and environmentally friendly surface crusts over dust, soil, and aggregate.

The Solution: Erizon’s Site-Specific Dust Suppression Solutions

Our site-specific dust suppression solutions can effectively solve even the most complex dust abatement issues. We use cutting-edge technologies that preserve water, minimise site activity, and reduce project management tasks. Our methods are also environmentally sustainable, making use of vegetation growth to enhance dust suppression solutions sustainably. We offer a range of solutions, including:

  1. RoadBond
    A dust suppression solution developed for trafficked areas available in two forms: RoadBond Li and RoadBond Mg.

    • RoadBond Li works especially well in dry and arid conditions, where fine dust is a significant issue. This naturally derived product is effective on unsealed and ungraded roads, providing improved stability by binding fine soil particles together to create a reworkable dust-free layer. The treated area is ready for use immediately, with no curing time required.
    • RoadBond Mg, on the other hand, is ideal for use in wet conditions, where dust suppression is still required. This product is highly effective in controlling dust in areas such as ports, mines, and construction sites, providing a long-lasting barrier that binds fine soil particles together. RoadBond Mg is formulated to work in highly alkaline soils and has been shown to improve the stability of unsealed and ungraded roads.

  2. SuppressX
    is a unique emulsion of microscopic, absorbent polymers that creates a protective skin barrier over the substrate below, eliminating dust while maintaining the soil’s overall composition. This environmentally friendly solution is suitable for all forms of tailings and minerals, ash dams, stockpiles, and substrates, and can withstand the erosive forces of wind and rain. Its ultra-low concentration makes it an ideal performance product for non-trafficked areas.
  3. FibreLoc
    is a superior dust suppression product scientifically engineered for harsh conditions where polymer solutions aren’t suitable and sustainable longevity is required. It is ideal for uneven terrain prone to movement, such as Tailing Storage Facilities (TSFs), and contains interlocking organic wood fibers that form a flexible and stable blanket. The wood fibers’ asperous surface traps rolling dust caused by strong winds, and the engineered construct allows it to re-establish itself if damaged by shifting surfaces.
  4. HydroBond
    is a polymer-based material blended with proprietary additives that binds to the surface to lock in dust while allowing air and water to penetrate. It creates a 3D honeycomb matrix throughout the topsoil layer, forming a protective crusting that ensures water retention, decreases leaching of nutrients, enhances growth, and promotes faster germination of seeds for revegetation. It is suitable for different site conditions and can be diluted at different rates to achieve varying levels of functional longevity. HydroBond is also compatible with Hydromulch for added water retention and temperature consistency.
