Coherex DUST RETARDANT & SOIL STABILIZER
Taming Dust Particles For Cleaner Air and Stabilized Soil
We’ve developed Coherex to tackle the serious problems caused by airborne dust – from crop damage to respiratory illness, soil erosion to visibility hazards.
Coherex is a petroleum resin and water emulsion that works by penetrating the soil and making dust particles stick together. This “agglomeration” creates particles that are too heavy to be moved by wind, providing long-lasting dust control even in harsh weather conditions. Unlike temporary solutions that create a surface crust that quickly breaks down, Coherex builds up in the soil for improved performance over time.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND COHEREX
Our unique formula works differently than basic water or salt-based dust suppressants by creating lasting cohesive bonds between soil particles.
- The residual build-up effect means Coherex remains active in the soil even after grading, providing dust control throughout the soil depth, not just on the surface
- Coherex contains 60% semi-liquid natural petroleum resins and 40% wetting solution that carries the resinous particles deep into the dust layer
- As it penetrates, it creates cohesive membranes that attach themselves to adjacent particles, forming “agglomerates” too heavy to be lifted by wind
PROVEN EFFECTIVE ACROSS DIVERSE APPLICATIONS
Coherex has demonstrated exceptional performance in challenging environments where dust control is critical:
- Mining operations where dust can create health hazards and equipment maintenance issues
- Agricultural areas where dust can damage crops and create visibility hazards
- Rural roadways where frequent watering is impractical and dust affects nearby residents
- Construction sites requiring soil stabilization and dust mitigation
WHY DUST CONTROL MATTERS
Untreated dust doesn’t just create nuisance conditions – it causes real economic and health impacts.
Respiratory Concerns
Dust particles smaller than 10 microns can penetrate deep into lungs, causing or aggravating respiratory conditions.
Infrastructure Damage
Dust accelerates wear on vehicles, equipment, and nearby structures, increasing maintenance costs.
Environmental Impact
Soil erosion from wind removes valuable topsoil and can contaminate water sources when it eventually settles.
Safety Hazards
Reduced visibility on roadways creates dangerous driving conditions.
Simple water applications provide only minutes of relief in hot conditions, while salt-based products can damage vegetation and equipment. Coherex offers a more sustainable and effective solution.
STOP FIGHTING DUST AND START CONTROLLING IT
Stop the endless cycle of watering, grading, and reapplying temporary fixes. Coherex delivers lasting dust control that works at the particle level, transforming loose dust into stable soil that resists wind and traffic.
Our solution works deeper, lasts longer, and builds effectiveness with each application:
- Deep penetration into soil instead of just surface treatment for longer-lasting control
- Water-resistant binding that maintains effectiveness even after rain events
- Environmentally conscious formula without harmful cutback solvents or volatile components
- Flexible application rates that can be adjusted based on soil type and conditions
- Residual effect builds over time, allowing reduced application rates for maintenance treatments
- Improves road base stability when used during construction phases
APPLICATION MADE SIMPLE
Coherex is applied through standard spraying equipment without requiring specialized machinery.
Application: Sprayed with 1-4 passes to allow the product to penetrate soil at dilution ratios typically between 1:4 to 1:7
Ready for traffic: Immediate access after application
Uses: For dirt and gravel roads, mining operations, construction sites, agricultural areas, and anywhere soil stabilization is needed to prevent dust
Application rate: Typically ½ to 1 gallon per square yard of diluted product
Cost-Effective DUST MANAGEMENT
Implementing a Coherex dust control program can significantly reduce maintenance costs compared to traditional methods. The residual build-up effect means application rates can often be reduced to 1:10 to 1:15 dilutions for maintenance treatments, stretching your budget further.
