Dust Control Resources
Magnesium chloride application planning for gravel roads, ranches, mines, and construction sites.
Overview
Magnesium chloride pulls moisture out of the air, binding fine particles to the road surface. The result: less dust, better visibility, slower aggregate loss, and fewer complaints.
Application rate, grading prep, and timing make the difference between a road that holds dust down all season and one that needs constant re-treatment.
