Why use calcium chloride for dust control and removal?
Calcium chloride is non-toxical inorganic salt. It is extremely hygroscopic, this property makes it attract moisture from the air and surroundings. Moisture can attract dust and keep the dust down. So dust is controlled and easy to remove. Calcium chloride also resists evaporation, which can make it functional for a long period of time. Calcium chloride can work even on the hottest and driest of days.
Key Properties:
Hygroscopic – which means it can absorb moisture from the air and/or from the road.
Deliquescent – which means it can dissolve into the moisture it absorbs forming a clear liquid that does not evaporate easily.
These two key properties make Calcium Chloride an excellent dust suppressant; this ability to pull moisture from seemingly dry air maintains the road at a fairly uniform level of moisture. The result is a binding effect on the fines in the gravel road, thereby stabilizing the base and preventing dust.
The Calcium Chloride sucks up moisture keeping it in the road thus reducing dust, that’s why the road looks darker.
