About this file
This document is a Safety, Health, and Environmental Information sheet for DUST BOND®, a dust suppressant product manufactured by D & D Emulsions Incorporated. The document provides technical details about the product's environmental and safety characteristics, highlighting its development as an alternative to previously used environmentally harmful dust control methods like waste motor oil.
The document details DUST BOND®'s key properties, emphasizing that it is non-corrosive, non-flammable, non-toxic to drinking water, non-polluting to air, and non-toxic through various exposure routes. The product is designed to effectively suppress fugitive dust while being safe to store and apply, with independent laboratory testing confirming its environmental and safety credentials. The U.S. Department of Transportation and National Fire Protection Agency have classified the product as non-corrosive and non-flammable, with no special shipping or storage requirements.

D & D Emulsions Incorporated is committed to manufacturing dust suppressants that, when applied, create an environment that is free of fugitive dust without creating secondary safety, health, and environmental concerns to the property owner or applicator.
Years ago, a common solution to control fugitive dust was to apply used motor oil.
This practice resulted in contamination of the road surface with heavy metals and volatiles. When environmental researchers discovered this abuse to our environment, regulations were enacted to prohibit the use of waste oil as a dust suppressant. This created a market for an environmentally friendly and economical dust suppressant.
DUST BOND® was formulated to fill this need by satisfying the following criteria:
• It had to be effective at suppressing fugitive dust.
• It had to have no adverse impact to the environment.
• It had to be safe to store and apply.
• It had to be cost effective.
D & D Emulsions Incorporated has funded testing by independent laboratories and researched data from tests performed by other laboratories on identical CAS Number specimens, as used in the production of
DUST BOND®. These test show that DUST
BOND® is:
✓ NON-CORROSIVE
✓ NON-FLAMMABLE
✓ NON-TOXIC TO DRINKING WATER
✓ NON-POLLUTING TO AIR
✓ NON-TOXIC ORALLY,
INHALATION, DERMAL, &
OCULAR.
NON-CORROSIVE
DUST BOND®, when tested as a concentrate, has a PH range of 4.5 to 6.5 and a total acid number of less than 0.5.
When tested with carbon steel, the corrosion rate was less than 4.0 mm/year.
Corrosion rates less than 6.5 mm/year are considered non-corrosive. The U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) classifies DUST BOND® as a non-corrosive material and places no regulations or placard requirements for shipping. It is easy to conclude that DUST
BOND® will not contribute to premature deterioration of expensive equipment.
NON-FLAMMABLE
DUST BOND® Concentrate is an emulsion made from water and a resin from the petroleum refinery stream that remains after the flammables, such as gasoline, fuel oil, etc. have been refined out. In the concentrated form, even before dilution with
80% to 95% water, there is sufficient water to prevent combustion. The U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) has classified DUST BOND® as non-flammable and non- combustible and places no regulations or placard requirements during shipment. The
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) considers DUST BOND® as non-flammable and makes no recommendation for its use or storage.
