Atlas DustLok is an environmentally friendly, heavy-duty soil stabilizer designed to take care of heavy-duty dust suppression challenges. While addressing the environmental concerns of existing suppressants such as magnesium chloride, Atlas DustLok transcends the limited short-life performance of modern polymer dispersions via an inherent ability to “re-heal” itself when exposed to periodic moisture.

Atlas DustLok works by initially binding the soil surface as other polymer dispersions do, but recharges its binding capabilities with each water truck passage (or rainfall) to consolidate its grip on existing locked-up soil, and at the same time traps new dust particles that are either blown in or created by truck traffic.

As an added benefit, Atlas DustLok slowly biodegrades over a period of weeks or months, depending upon the moisture and temperature environment at the site. Once it’s job is done, it gets out of the way.

Priced Right

Atlas DustLok is reasonably priced at $9.95 per gallon in 55-gallon drums plus shipping. Atlas DustLok is also available in 5-gallon pails and 300-gallon totes.

Application Rate Guidelines:

Soil susceptibility to wind erosion is strongly influenced by soil type, and the traffic and weather environment:

• The threshold wind speed for erosion to commence in untreated soils can be as low as 25 mph for sand and medium-textured topsoil, and up to 45 mph for the heavier soil types. Accordingly, wind erosion is primarily a problem associated with medium-fine textured soils and free flowing sand.
• Stability against wind erosion of ‘medium-fine textured soils’ is achieved with Atlas DustLok treatments of between 20 gals/acre - 30 gals/acre applied at a dilution rate of approximately 1:10.
• Wind erosion protection of free flowing flat sand will require application rates of Atlas DustLok between 50 gals/acre - 65 gals/acre. In addition, highly erodeable soil environments will benefit from an application of between 20 lbs/acre – 40 lbs/acre Tackifibers to enhance the structural integrity of the lattice-like membrane formed in the soil surface.
• An effective method of using Atlas DustLok in high-traffic construction zones is to split a recommended application rate of “60 gallons per acre” into an initial application via water truck/hydroseeder/sprayer of “30 gals/acre” (with subsequent pure water applications), followed by two subsequent passes of “15 gal/acre” each.
