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.
The U.S. Army Environmental Technology Program’s FY2002 initiative focused on reducing airborne particulate matter (PM) from military activities such as vehicle maneuvers, obscurant training, and controlled burns. As part of this compliance-driven effort, the Army evaluated innovative chemical dust palliatives applied to unpaved roads—technologies that align with the formulation and field performance of Soiltac, a synthetic copolymer emulsion. Early-stage testing at Fort Leonard Wood showed promising short-term PM reductions while highlighting the need for cost-effective, environmentally compatible solutions to maintain training readiness and avoid regulatory penalties.
For military operations requiring PM mitigation across training ranges, roadways, and operational staging areas, Soiltac delivers effective particulate binding, dust suppression, and soil surface resilience with minimal environmental footprint. In dry or continuous-use environments where water-based suppressants are impractical, Durasoil offers a synthetic, non-water-dependent solution for year-round performance. Soilworks supports military compliance strategies with application expertise, regulatory documentation, and deployment-ready solutions tailored to EPA and DoD air quality mandates.

Compliance
Army
Objective:
Army training activities produce particulate matter (PM) that may exceed air quality standards resulting in fines and the reduction/shutdown of military training missions. Since emission characteristics and atmospheric behavior of PM emissions from non-facility sources are not well understood, the Army is at a disadvantage when negotiating with regulators. Standard PM control technologies are ineffective and
costly. Measurement technologies are too expensive and not appropriate for training mission. Fugitive dust from military maneuvers, tactical vehicle emissions, prescribed burning, and obscurant training is impacted.
Approach:
How this project responds to need:
Particulate matter models and measurement technologies meet the primary focus areas of the Army Environmental Requirements and Technology Assessment requirement 2.1.b, with secondary emphasis on dust control technologies.
