The Bio-Binder product family offers biopolymer-based solutions for dust control

Dust control and surface stabilization are an important part of maintenance. Alongside traditional chloride-based solutions, Kemion offers alternatives that reduce environmental impact without compromising performance.

Kemion’s Bio-Binder product family provides biodegradable and chloride-free solutions for dust control and various surface stabilization needs. The products are based on wood-derived raw materials such as wood sugars, lignin, and cellulose. These biopolymer solutions are suitable for a wide range of applications and operating conditions.

Biopolymers for versatile applications

Bio-Binder products can be used in applications such as:

  • construction sites
  • industrial areas
  • mining roads
  • gravel roads
  • asphalt surfaces
  • dust control for material stockpiles

The products work by binding fine particles that generate dust while also strengthening the surface structure. Some of the products form a durable protective film on the treated surface, protecting materials from weather conditions and reducing dust emissions over a long period.

Currently, the Bio-Binder product family includes five different solutions for various applications and operational needs.

Bio-Binder FWS

Bio-Binder FWS is a mixture of formate and sugar for road dust control. It combines the dust binding properties of two raw materials: one attracts atmospheric moisture, keeping the surface damp, while the other binds particles in the road structure together.

Bio-Binder WS

Bio-Binder WS is a fully biodegradable product based solely on wood sugars, particularly suitable for road dust control. In road applications, the solution gradually forms a hard surface layer, after which only a diluted solution is needed to bind newly formed dust from the environment.

Bio-Binder LWS

Bio-Binder LWS is a dust binding agent based on wood lignin and sugars, which can be used in road environments as well as a film-forming agent. In road dust control, it gradually forms a hard surface layer, after which only a diluted solution is needed to bind new dust generated from the environment onto the road surface. As a film-forming agent, a single application creates a hard and durable film on the surface of the protected material (e.g., a dusting stockpile).

Bio-Binder FLWS

Bio-Binder FLWS is similar to LWS, but the key difference is its adjustable frost resistance. This enables reliable performance in winter conditions as well, making the product suitable for year-round use.

Bio-Binder C10

Bio-Binder C10 is a film-forming agent based on wood cellulose. It is a 100% biodegradable product that does not affect the further processing of the protected material. It forms a hard and weather-resistant film on the surface.

An environmentally friendly solution for dust control

The Bio-Binder product family offers effective and environmentally friendly alternatives for modern dust control. With Kemion’s solutions, the environmental impact of dust suppression can be taken into account.
