Hat Island Durasoil Test Plot Results (TPD0707010)

Summary

Two test segments on Hat Island demonstrated the performance of Durasoil®, a synthetic organic fluid engineered for dust control on unpaved roads. Applied at varying rates—50 sq. ft. per gallon in one segment and the manufacturer-recommended 25 sq. ft. per gallon in the other—Durasoil immediately eliminated airborne dust during vehicle pass-throughs. Even the lighter-than-recommended application showed visible suppression, with the treated areas remaining visibly darker and dust-free under traffic. Observers reported a dramatic difference in dust levels compared to untreated sections, confirming both application ease and real-time effectiveness.

For unpaved residential or utility roads, Durasoil provides:

Immediate dust suppression without water

Long-term performance (up to 18 months with standard application rates)

Reapplication efficiency—requiring only 1/3 of the initial volume

For lasting dust control in residential or community roadways, Durasoil offers a clean, non-tracking solution that applies easily with standard spray equipment. Contact Soilworks to explore how Durasoil can reduce airborne particulates and road maintenance costs while enhancing livability and environmental compliance.

TITLE: DURASOIL TEST PLOT RESULTS

Our test site for Durasoil (a synthetic based dust binder) has been established! On July 1, 2007 George Harmon and Bill Townsend sprayed Durasoil in 2 test segments while Ginger Harmon and Sharron Meadows (Townsend) measured and took notes.

The 1st segment begins at the corner of Saratoga Dr. and Snohomish Way and continues up Snohomish Way for 50 feet and road width of 15 feet. In this segment a lighter application than recommended was applied, 50 sq. ft. per gallon.

The 2nd segment continuing on Snohomish Way, also 50 feet and road width of 15 feet, had the recommended application of 25 sq. ft. per gallon expected to last 18 months. Next application would require 1/3 of the original amount that was applied.

On those segments there is no dust!  Please drive through and check it out.
