How it works
Absorbed into the individual soil particles, weighing them down and preventing fly aways
Surrounds individual dust particles and 'floats' them
Draw moisture out of the air, dampening the soil particles
Long-lasting
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
Isn't affected by weather
Won't evaporate, wash away or dilute. Performance not affected by climate or humidity.
Subjects to effects of evaporation or over-saturation depending on the weather
Diluted and washed away by heavy rain
Doesn't cause tracking on vehicle tyres
No stickiness, no tracking once absorbed
Over-saturation results in mud that adhered to wheels/equipment
Because it absorbs moisture, may adhere to wheels/equipment
Doesn't affect 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
Non-corrosive
May contribute to corrosion on vehicles and equipment
Can cause severe corrosion on vehicles and equipment
Doesn't affect the environment
Not harmful to the environment
Not harmful to the environment
Kills adjacent vegetation and pollutes surface and ground water
Doesn't affect the health of humans and plants
Harmless to humans and wildlife, including waterlife and plants
Harmless to humans and wildlife, including waterlife and plants
Not normally harmful unless in high concentrations
