About this file
The document is a technical application guide for Dust Bond®, a dust control product for various road and surface conditions. It provides detailed instructions for dilution ratios, application rates, and anticipated longevity across different types of surfaces and traffic volumes.
The guide categorizes surface conditions into three main traffic levels: Light Traffic, Heavy Traffic, and Miscellaneous, with specific recommendations for each category. Dilution ratios range from 4:1 to 10:1 water to Dust Bond®, with application rates varying from 0.5 to 2 gallons per square yard. The anticipated longevity of the product ranges from 0.5 to 4 months depending on surface type, traffic volume, and initial conditions. The document emphasizes that surfaces with prior Dust Bond® treatments typically require 20% to 50% less material for subsequent applications, and recommends adjusting the application based on surface characteristics, traffic volume, and vehicle weight.

APPLICATION RATE & LONGEVITY
The following table outlines typical dilution ratios and application quantities that are suggested as a guide when planning a first time application. Traffic volume and vehicle weight need to be fairly estimated and matched to the surface conditions. Surfaces with prior DUST BOND® treatments change in character and usually require 20% to 50% less material to effect dust control. If a retreatment has been delayed so long that the first application has been overwhelmed with a deep accumulation of fines, it should be planned as a first application.
