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.
