Stop Using Calcium and Magnesium Chloride Salts!
• Calcium and magnesium chloride salts have a corrosive nature
• Runoff from calcium and magnesium chloride salts has a negative effect on waterways due to their high chloride concentrations which can cause vegetation kill and upset the ecological balance
Aqua Hawk DustX is a Better Alternative
• Green chemistry, derived from agricultural products that are renewable, has both humectant and binding characteristics. This helps provide long-term dust control with a single application
• Aqua Hawk DustX is not a calcium or magnesium chloride-based product and is not highly corrosive to vehicles
• Aqua Hawk DustX will not significantly raise the conductivity and TDS of run-off water as will chloride based road dust control products
• Aqua Hawk DustX is a concentrated product that is mixed with water and applied as a solution using common road watering equipment

Aqua Hawk DustX Spray Application:
It’s recommended that DustX users implement a slight mechanical alteration to a typical gravity deluge type water truck. Best results are achieved when a pressurized and controlled spray pattern is implemented. This form of application provides:
• Better penetration of the product into the road surface
• Complete control of the application rate of the product
• Elimination of wasted product associated with typical uncontrolled gravity type water delivery applications
• Prevention of over-saturation of road surfaces, thus reducing the breakdown of road base material
Concentration and frequency of application will depend on traffic volume, road condition and weather
