ProGuard™ - Model MAG -Chloride Dust Control for Soil Stabilization
ProGuard™ Magnesium Chloride Dust Control is engineered to enhance the durability of gravel roads and unpaved surfaces by minimizing dust and soil erosion. Utilizing magnesium chloride (MgCl2), this product functions by binding dust and aggregate particles, ensuring consistent stability and dust mitigation. Its hygroscopic nature aids in maintaining ground moisture, which is crucial for effective dust and dirt control. Applicable for gravel roads, parking lots, driveways, and industrial sites such as mines and construction zones, ProGuard™ Magnesium offers flexible application rates dependent on soil type and traffic, typically ranging from 1.0 to 2.3 liters per square meter. Highlighted as environmentally safe, it supports organic agricultural practices and boasts results from a Colorado State University study, showing significant reduction in aggregate loss on treated roads. Distinct from calcium chloride in its chemical composition, it adheres to molecular weight conversion standards across North America.
ProGuard™ MAG is a high performance dust control and soil stabilization agent designed to extend the life of your gravel roads and surfaces. Composed of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), ProGuard™ MAG works by binding fine dust and aggregate particles to keep surfaces stable and dust free.
The hygroscopic properties of magnesium chloride keep the ground moist providing maximum control of dust and dirt. ProGuard™ Magnesium can be used on gravel roads, parking lots and driveways as well as in mining operations and construction areas.
A high performance dust control agent, ProGuard™ Magnesium is designed to:
- Create safer road conditions by increasing driver visibility.
- Promote healthier air quality for people, pets and plants by protecting against the health threats of fugitive dust which can aggravate respiratory problems.
- Reduce costly soil erosion and loss of aggregate resulting in longer lasting, safer roads and surfaces.
- Prevent fugitive dust from washing off into streams, creeks and lakes improving water quality.
Safe to handle, ProGuard™ Magnesium for dust control will not cause burning or stinging and is free of toxic metals and substances. Application rates vary based on soil type and traffic volume; typical application rates range from 1.0 to 2.3 liters per square meter / 0.2 to 0.5 gallons per square yard. Follow up application rates are applied at half the initial dosage.
Magnesium chloride and calcium chloride solutions cannot be compared at equivalent percentages as they have different molecular weights. Molecular weight conversion has been universally adopted in most US States and Canadian provinces.
