CleanTRACK Presentation – Premium Long Term Dust Control Chemistry

Calcium/Magnesium Chloride Solutions

• Hygroscopic, attract moisture from the air to keep road “wet”. Very low cost
• Corrosive, kills plant life, can get slippery, washes away with rain, good for arid climates

Lignin Solutions

• Becomes sticky, attracts fines, naturally derived “tree bark”, hardens surface-crust
• Toxic to plant/wildlife, can be dirty to drive on.

Water Trucks

• Need to reapply water every few hours, but no chemical costs and non-toxic
• Expensive to employ drivers and trucks.

Crude oil/Asphalt emulsions

• Longer term solution, similar to hard asphalt
• Messy/tracks, toxic/carcinogenic, can wash away into soil/rivers

Polymer Solutions (Gorilla Snot?)

• Similar performance to Calcium, less toxic
• Can get very slippery in the rain

Natural or mineral based with a novel binder

• Enhances the durability and longevity
• “Water proofs the coating”

Non corrosive (Chloride free)

Non Toxic

Not washed away by rain

Not slippery, doesn’t get muddy by attracting moisture

Lab Demo – Hydrophobic (Waterproof)

• Topically applied to any surface using a spray bar
• Integrated into the road using a motor grader

• Recommended = 1L/m²

 Environmental Profile

• 3rd Party EPA protocol for fresh water protection reports available
• Biodegradable
• Non-toxic
• Non-hazardous
• Non corrosive to paint/metal/concrete

 Application

Small application – Totes                Large application – Bulk

• Topically applied to any surface using a spray bar

 Testimonials

• “No Wash Boarding on hills and near intersections”
• “1 year later, harder-more compacted”
•  “No frost heaving”
• “Worked better than Calcium for 300 heavy trucks a day”
• “Calcium and other product trials gone after heavy rains”
•  “The side of my yard treated with CleanTRACK is still dust free, I may get another year out of this”

Soil Stabilization: Unexpected effect

• Positive feedback from trials
• 1 year later, harder-more compacted
• No frost heaving, no wash-boarding
• Waterproofing prevents water saturation – freeze/thaw?
• Reduce the effects of breakup?
• Sloped surface construction? Pipeline?
