Soilworks products are the industry’s top standard due to our insistence on creating high performance soil stabilization and dust control products that stand up to rigorous testing – both in the lab and in the field. Our commitment to quality and performance has led to our involvement and testing in hundreds of real-world situations. The following library of reports, presentations, specifications, approvals and other similar documents provide you, our customer, the transparency and dependable assurance that is expected from Soilworks.
For mining operations seeking advanced dust control and erosion mitigation, Soilworks provides engineered solutions that perform in extreme conditions across open pit mines, tailings impoundments, dam walls, and underground haul roads. Durasoil, a patented synthetic fluid, delivers non-evaporative, non-freezing particulate suppression with unmatched reworkability—ideal for intense-use haul roads where waterless application, environmental safety, and low maintenance are critical. Its non-petroleum, non-chloride composition ensures long-term dust control without equipment corrosion or environmental risk.
For mine tailings and dam slope stabilization, Gorilla-Snot offers topical application to create a durable yet flexible crust that controls PM10 and PM2.5 dust emissions while allowing water permeability. Its resistance to rainfall and compatibility with flotation processes make it especially effective in protecting embankments and maintaining operational safety. Soilworks solutions are trusted globally to reduce environmental impact, extend infrastructure life, and safeguard miner health. Contact Soilworks for tailored product selection and application strategies to meet mining-specific challenges.

Industry-leading underground haul road and mine tailings products
Gorilla-Snot
Gorilla-Snot is a synthetic copolymer dispersion engineered to control dust and erosion on mine tailings impoundments. The solution is topically applied to the tailings where it penetrates to create a light and durable surface crust. The surface crust remains water permeable for air and water, yet perfect for suppressing PM10 and PM2.5 particulate matter to maintain air quality. Increased applications of Gorilla-Snot are highly effective for water erosion control to maintain the dam slope and bench stability and integrity. Gorilla-Snot’s unique surface crust remains light and flexible yet strong and durable resulting in long-term performance capable of withstanding intense environmental conditions.
Durasoil
The world’s only patented, state-of-the-art synthetic dust suppression fluid; engineered to “wet out” any soil or aggregate for intense-use mining operations. Durasoil’s unique water-insoluble properties create a long-term, re-workable and self-healing solution that coats and agglomerates particulates, weighing them down without evaporating or freezing. Its revolutionary, ultra-pure formulation is distinctively crystal clear, odorless and formulated to meet the highest standards of environmental efficacy.
