Dust control for construction sites, quarries and stockpiles
Igugu Industries supplies site and quarry dust control for construction sites, quarries and plants: a binder for site and haul roads, a crusting agent for stockpiles and ground that is not driven on, and a wetting additive for spray systems. Tell us what needs to stay down and we advise the product, the dosage and how to apply it. In drums, flowbins or bulk, depending on the product, delivered to all nine provinces.
Three places the dust comes from.
On a construction site or in a quarry, dust comes from three places. Each one needs a different answer, so we ask which one you have.
- The roads and yards. Trucks lift the fines off site roads, haul roads and yards. A binder in the water cart holds the fines to the road.
- The stockpiles and bare ground. Wind lifts dust off stockpiles, dumps and exposed soil. A crusting agent binds the surface.
- The plant. Dust rises at conveyors, crushers, screens and tips. A wetting additive in the spray water helps the water wet the dust and the material.
Sites differ in material, traffic and weather, so we do not promise one figure for all of them. We advise the product and the dosage for your site.
Dust suppression for site roads, haul roads and yards
Plain water dries out and has to be put on again. These three products go into your water cart. The same products are on the road dust suppressant block of our dust suppression page.
-
Lignin-based binder
DustBinder Lignin
When: haul roads, access roads and yards you want to water less often, on permanent or temporary roads. Mixed into the water cart, it binds the fines into a firm, flexible crust that builds with each application.
-
Bitumen-based binder
DustBinder Bitumen
When: primary haul roads and access roads, the roads that carry the heaviest traffic. A bitumen-based binder that goes into the water cart, at the same dosage as DustBinder Lignin.
-
Water extender
Hydrogel
When: temporary roads and roads that change often, such as ramps and secondary routes. Dosed into the water cart at the fill point, it keeps the road wetter for longer on less water.

Stockpile dust control and spray systems
For ground that is not driven on, and for water that is sprayed. Not for roads: a crusting agent is for stockpiles, dumps and bare ground.
-
A crust on the surface
DustSkin Material Binder
When: stockpiles (slopes and flat tops), dumps and exposed soil. A polymer-based binder, sprayed on by water cart or sprayer. It forms a crust that stops dust lifting off, effective from 1 day to 6 months.
-
Into the spray water
SuperWetter Binding & Wetting Agent
When: spray, mist and fog systems at conveyors, crushers, screens, tips and stockpiles, and water-truck cannons. Dosed into the water (we advise the dosage for your job), it helps the water wet the dust and the material.
Also written as: stockpile dust control, stockpile dust suppression, dust crusting agent, wind erosion control, dust suppression additive, misting system additive, dust suppression spray system.
How the products go on
- Binders through the water cart. DustBinder Lignin and DustBinder Bitumen are mixed into the water cart at 50–1,000 L per 10,000 L of water, depending on road and site conditions, and sprayed on the road.
- Hydrogel at the fill point. It is dosed into the water-filled cart, by a dosing pump or by hand from 20 L containers, and goes on with your normal watering.
- DustSkin by water cart or sprayer. It is sprayed on, or mixed with water on site. We advise the dosing for your surface.
- SuperWetter into the water. It is dosed into the system water or the water of a water-truck cannon. We advise the dosage for your job.
For any other dosage, we advise it for your job.
What to send for a quote
- What needs treating: roads, stockpiles or bare ground, or a spray system.
- For roads: the length and width, the traffic, your water cart size and how often you water now.
- For stockpiles: the area in m² (a map outline helps), the material and how long the crust must hold.
- For spray systems: the system type, the water flow and the operating hours.
- One-off or ongoing supply, and the delivery site.

Questions buyers ask
Questions about site and quarry dust control.
How do I keep dust down on a construction site?
First find where it comes from. For site roads and yards, put a binder such as DustBinder Lignin into the water cart. For stockpiles and bare ground, spray a crusting agent such as DustSkin. For spray systems, dose SuperWetter into the water. Tell Igugu Industries which one you have and we advise the product and the dosage.
Can I put the product into my own water cart?
Yes, for the road products. DustBinder Lignin and DustBinder Bitumen are mixed into the water cart and sprayed on, and Hydrogel is dosed in at the fill point. Send us the size of your cart and we advise the dose per load.
What is the difference between a road binder and a crusting agent?
A road binder is for ground that traffic drives on. A crusting agent, such as DustSkin, is for ground that is not driven on: stockpiles, dumps and exposed soil. Using the right one for the surface matters, so tell us where it goes.
Do you supply quarries and crushing plants?
Yes. Igugu Industries supplies the haul road binders for the roads, DustSkin for stockpiles, and SuperWetter for spray systems at conveyors, crushers, screens and tips. Send us the site, what needs treating and the delivery point.
Our RFQ asks for “stockpile dust control” or “dust suppression”. Can you quote?
Yes. Send the RFQ number, the closing date, the quantities and the delivery point, and Igugu Industries quotes the lines it supplies against your specification. Data sheets and safety data sheets are supplied on request.
