Dust is a health hazard. Dust causes respiratory
disease, crop damage, vehicle wear and tear, and can cause the
loss of the surface or footing itself. Dust control of surfaces
is crucial to maintaining the safety, utility and integrity of
roads, parking lots, construction sites, landfills. riding areanas,
and quarries.
Dead Sea Works Ltd. offers a
total dust control solution: .
It is cost-efficient, fast, environmentally friendly and highly
effective.
MAG® is a hygroscopic, deliquescent compound
that attracts moisture from the air and resists evaporation. MAG®
binds fine dust particles to keep roads stabilized, to slow the
loss of aggregate, and to reduce the need for costly regrading.
MAG® assists in making surfaces damp which holds down dust,
reduces erosion, and helps prevent surfaces from becoming uneven
or developing potholes.
The active ingredient of MAG® is magnesium
chloride, a compound used in a range of products including animal
feeds and fertilizers. MAG® is less toxic than baking soda
and is almost three times less toxic than salt. Because MAG®
contains lower chloride levels than other salts, chloride runoff
into the environment is greatly reduced. Since MAG® is not
exothermic, workers who handle MAG® will not feel the burning
often encountered with the use of other dust control products.
In fact, many people travel to the Dead Sea to experience the
skin soothing properties of Magnesium Chloride. MAG® is safer
to use around vegetation, pets and farm animals, and does not
leave any unsightly residue that can be tracked indoors.
Many road maintenance and surface restoration
professionals are switching to MAG® to help achieve aggregate
stability. MAG® easily dissolves in just minutes in most climatic
conditions. Depending on traffic and weather, a single application
of MAG® can last from a few weeks to several months and sometimes
just one application per year is enough. MAG® also has a cumulative
effect as each new application is made, the longer it will
last.
In addition to unpaved road surfaces, MAG®
is ideal for recreational surfaces that require dampness. The
quick dissolving properties of MAG® mean that treated areas
can be put into service as soon as one hour after conditioning.
Clay tennis courts in particular can benefit from MAG®, providing
long-term moisture control and allowing courts to be used for
longer periods. MAG® is also safer to use around the landscaped
areas and for pets and horses at riding facilities, and will not
irritate hooves, paws, or skin.
MAG® comes in either flake or pellet form
and is packaged in easy-to-handle 50 lb bags as well as metric
ton supersacks for larger applications. MAG® can be easily
applied by hand or with various types of spreaders and unlike
other dust control agents, MAG® typically requires no prewetting
of the surface to be treated.
On unpaved roads, construction sites
and riding arenas:
MAG® should be applied on the basis of
up to 2.5 lb/sq. yard, and reapplied at 50% of this rate when
the surface appears dry.All surfaces should be graded prior to
MAG® application.
On tennis courts or recreation fields:
MAG® should be applied on the basis of up to 1 lb/sq. yard,
and reapplied at 50% of this rate when the surface appears dry.
