Dust Control
Liquidow™ calcium chloride can be used on many types of surfaces for dust control. We provide dust control programs for clients all over the U.S., geared to their specific needs. Our customers enjoy cost-savings because they use our products. With Liquidow™, applications last longer, thereby adding hard dollars to their bottom line. Whether it is dust control for unpaved roads or dust control for mining or other surfaces, we have you covered!
Why Calcium Chloride?
Calcium chloride is hygroscopic. It constantly draws moisture keeping unpaved roads damp and dust down. Calcium chloride also resists evaporation, providing long lasting dust control. LIQUIDOW™ also provides base stabilization, structural strength, and freeze thaw protection.
LIQUIDOW™ vs. The Competition
No other material measures up to the performance of LIQUIDOW™ calcium chloride. LIQUIDOW™ provides dust control under conditions where others lose all effectiveness. Our higher active ingredient allows for the reduction of application rates resulting in a lower total cost per mile.

West Virginia Division of Highways (WVDOH) Study The WVDOH conducted an independent study comparing Calcium Chloride to other dust control products. They found "The results of this field evaluation and research project are that of the five commercial products tested as part of this research project, calcium chloride is the preferred choice for dust control. This conclusion was based on the cost, ease of application, impact on traffic, impact on the environment, and long-term storage capabilities."
