RDC FAQ

  • What type of Industries use RDC?
    RDC is used where there is airborne dust causing issues within the workplace or for road users. •Council Roads-dusty gravel roads •Highway Construction Haul Roads •Forestry Roads •Mine Roads •Commercial Yard •Agricultural applications •Private ratepayers
  • What is the Recommended Dose Rate
    Initial recommended application rate of 2ltrs per sqm for the initial treatment with a top up of 1ltr per sqm if required (rising dust or extreme weather).
  • How do I apply RDC and what equipment do I require?
    If the pavement is bone dry, then you will need to pre-wet it with water. Use a water cart or a spray unit capable of delivering a uniform spray to the surface of the pavement. Complete a test area spraying to calibrate the flow and speed of vehicle to get the specified amount of product onto the pavement. Pre-shaping the road and using a roller on site to follow behind the water cart will give your treatment longevity and a smooth finish but is not generally required.
  • Can RDC be used as a water saver?
    Yes. RDC can be diluted at 10:1(10%) to lower the frequency of watering for dust control, saving precious resources.
  • What type of soil can I use RDC on?
    RDC can be used on most soil types that have a well graded grain size distribution with fines. RDC is not compatible with plastic materials such as Clay.
