DustLess is the roadway dust suppressant of choice where health and environmental compliance are at risk.
Composed of an organic, environmentally-safe compound, it offers a long-term, cost-effective solution for application in high traffic areas where excessive dust generation is an issue.
Easily applied, DustLess frees up your workforce and resources from traditional labour-intensive dust suppression methods, allowing them to be reassigned to core business activities. This can have wide-ranging benefits including reduced vehicle maintenance, increased return on investment and increased safety – to name but a few.
Whilst we don’t recommend that you drink it, DustLess has no onerous handling or safety requirements. This allows it to be used in environmentally-sensitive areas and where people and wildlife are present. Full details can be found on the DustLess Material Safety Data Sheet.
DustLess is unique in the way in which it works. It is permanently absorbed into the individual soil particles, especially the finest of particles that cause the worst fly-away dust, weighing them down. It does not form a crust, nor does it evaporate. It is unaffected by hot or cold, or by rain – making it the most durable dust suppressant available.
DustLess has significant advantages over traditional dust suppression methods, including its long-lasting effect, environmental safety and cost-effective application. A more detailed comparison of the advantages of DustLess over traditional methods is given in the following table:

How it works |
DustLess is absorbed into the individual soil particles, weighing them down and preventing 'fly-away' |
Water surrounds individual dust particles thus surrounding and ‘floating’ them |
Chlorides draw moisture out of the air thus dampening the soil particles |
Effect on vehicle traction ( |
Good traction as particles remain in direct contact with one another, keeping the soil surface firm |
Poor traction as particles no longer adjacent to each other |
Variable effect on traction, dependant on the ambient humidity |
Effect of weather |
Won’t evaporate, wash away or dilute. Performance not affected by climate or humidity |
Subject to effects of evaporation or over-saturation depending on the weather |
Diluted and washed away by heavy rain |
Tracking on vehicle tyres |
No stickiness, preventing tracking |
Over-saturation results in mud that adheres to wheels/equipment |
Because it absorbs moisture, may adhere to wheels/equipment |
Frequency of application |
Single application lasts up to a year and subsequent applications are at a reduced rate |
Multiple applications per day may be required in hot, dry weather |
Requires several applications per year |
Prevention of corrosion |
Non-corrosive. Safeguards against corrosion due to other causes |
May contribute to corrosion |
Can cause severe corrosion on vehicles and equipment |
Effect on environment |
Not harmful to environment |
May |
Kills adjacent vegetation and pollutes surface and |
Effects on health of humans and wildlife |
Harmless to humans and wildlife, including |
Normally harmless, unless contaminated (eg. with legionellae). However, rapid evaporation in hot, dry weather will lead to dust emissions which are harmful to health |
Not normally harmful, but variable effectiveness may lead to dust emissions which are harmful to health |
For smaller areas, DustLess can be applied manually; while for larger areas, a
