How it works
Absorbed onto individual surface particles, weighing them down so they don't become so readily airborne
Surrounds individual dust particles and 'floats' them
Draw moisture out of the air, dampening the soil particles
Long-lasting
Single application typically lasts between 6-16 weeks, but residual effects can last up to a year; subsequent applications are at a reduced rate
Multiple applications per day may be required in hot, dry weather
Requires several applications per year
Isn't affected by weather
Hydrophobic quality means it survives wet weather; isn't affected by temperature extremes so won't freeze or evaporate
Subjects to effects of evaporation or over-saturation depending on the weather
Diluted and washed away by heavy rain
Doesn't cause tracking on vehicle tyres
No stickiness, no tracking once fully absorbed*
Over-saturation results in mud that adhered to wheels/equipment
Because it absorbs moisture, may adhere to wheels/equipment
Doesn't affect vehicle traction
No negative impact on traction*
Poor traction is common in muddy conditions
Variable effect on traction, dependant on the ambient humidity
Non-corrosive
Persistent wet ground conditions may contribute to corrosion on vehicles and equipment
Can cause severe corrosion on vehicles and equipment
Doesn't affect the environment
Not harmful to the environment
Not harmful to the environment
Kills adjacent vegetation and pollutes surface and ground water
Doesn't affect the health of humans and plants
Harmless to humans and wildlife, including waterlife and plants
Harmless to humans and wildlife, including waterlife and plants
Not normally harmful unless in high concentrations
