Dust on unpaved haul roads poses serious safety, environmental, and equipment-wear challenges across mining, construction, and bulk-handling operations. To tackle these issues head-on, our R&D team at GelSAP™ has engineered a next-generation solid dust suppressant—GelSAP™ Fine-Powder Dust Suppressant—that dissolves instantly in water, creating a uniformly low-viscosity spray solution. Here’s an inside look at our design process, standout product features, and real-world customer results.


Advanced Road Dust Suppression

1. R&D & Design Thinking

  1. Field-Driven Insights

    • Operator Feedback: Early trials with granular GelSAP™ formulations revealed bridging and nozzle-clogging issues.

    • Equipment Constraints: Spray systems require consistent flow and minimal wear on pumps and hoses.

  2. Particle Engineering

    • Fine-Powder Transition: We milled GelSAP™ into a uniform sub–150 µm powder, achieving consistent bulk density (0.58–0.75 g/cm³) for smooth feeding through automated dosing lines.

    • Optimized Cross-Linking: Adjusting cross-link density boosted water-uptake speed (≤ 13 s in 0.9% NaCl) while preserving high absorption capacity (≥ 40 g/g).

  3. Solution Stability

    • pH Control (5.8–6.3): Ensures compatibility with steel tanks and spray components, minimizing corrosion risk.

    • Low Residual Monomer (≤ 350 ppm): Meets stringent environmental and health regulations.

3. Customer Case Studies with GelSAP™

A. Surface Mine – Nevada, USA

  • Challenge: Severe dust plumes causing visibility issues and regulatory citations.

  • Application: 2 t/month of GelSAP™ fine-powder suppressant via water-truck spray bars.

  • Results:

    • 50% reduction in airborne particulate levels

    • 35% fewer shutdowns for road watering

    • Noticeable drop in haul-truck maintenance costs

B. Port Terminal – Santos, Brazil

  • Challenge: Stockpile transfer roads kicking up dust that drifted into neighboring communities.

  • Application: Automated spray booms using a 1 : 1,000 GelSAP™-to-water ratio.

  • Results:

    • Zero community dust complaints in first quarter

    • 40% less freshwater usage vs. plain-water sprays

    • Improved worker morale and perception of site safety


4. Why Choose GelSAP™?
