Dust is a major problem within the mining industry, affecting both the working environment and safety. In addition to dust particles having an adverse effect on breathing, the resulting poor visibility and deposits can also increase the risk of accidents. High dust levels can also generate a risk of explosions. By minimising dust, we can reduce maintenance work and protect materials.
The following product range is adapted for the mining industry:
CRUSTING AGENTS – Used for ore mounds and deposits. The Product forms a physical barrier by binding together the finest particles to form a hard crust.
BINDING AGENTS – Used when handling materials, such as during loading, unloading, grinding, transferring from one conveyor belt to another, etc. The product is sprayed over the small particles, which then form larger agglomerates, reducing the risk of the wind catching the volatile particles.
WETTING AGENTS – (or a combination of Wetting and Binding) are used e.g. on road surfaces to reduce dust formation caused by traffic or wind.
