AccuWeather – ‘Gorilla-Snot’ Holds Down Highway Dust (TPD1605022)

Summary

To combat hazardous wind-blown dust leading to highway closures in Arizona, state officials deployed Gorilla-Snot®, a biodegradable copolymer emulsion, to stabilize exposed soil near Interstate-10. The treatment formed a durable surface crust, effectively binding dust particles and preventing fugitive dust emissions that had previously caused low-visibility driving conditions and road closures.

Engineered for long-lasting dust control, Gorilla-Snot® provides erosion resistance, minimal environmental impact, and a UV-degradable formulation, ensuring regulatory compliance and reduced maintenance costs. This application demonstrates the effectiveness of polymer-based dust control solutions in transportation safety and air quality management.

A company came up with a fix for wind­blown dust causing highway closures in Arizona.

They’re using what they call ‘Gorilla-Snot‘ which forms a crust to hold down the dust. Check it out.
