PRODUCT DATA SHEET
SOILOC - MQ™
LIQUID DUST SUPPRESSANT FOR MINES & QUARRIES (pm-10)
1.0 Material Description: Polymer:
SOILOC-MQ is an economical, liquid blend of acrylic resins. It is supplied in a
milky white, highly concentrated form to be diluted with water prior to use. Dries
clear. Environmentally safe. Non-corrosive to metal. Meets all requirements for
non-asphaltic emulsions.
2.0 Intended Use:
SOILOC-MQ is intended to be used on mine & quarry sites. It is designed to be sprayed over disturbed
soil, haul roads, sand, coal, coke, ore, lime, slag, ash & other fine powders. When dried the material
forms a crusty seal reducing airborne dust (PM-10) and erosion. It can be applied with standard hydraulic
equipment including hydro-sprayers & water trucks.
3.0 HAUL ROAD DUST CONTROL:
Application Method A:
(Regular watering using SOILOC-MQ concentrate as additive):
In some cases surface watering is still the best method to control
dust. When repeated waterings are planned SOILOC-MQ can be
applied as an additive. To water. Mix 1 gal concentrate with 500 gal
water and apply at .75 gal / s.y. With repeated applications the
additive will build up. This is an economical way to immediately
slow evaporation, improve penetration and over time create a highly
stabilized surface.
Application Method B: (Mixing & rolling):
  • Grade surface for positive drainage. Loosen to 1"-4" of surface
    material to improve penetration.
  • Mix 1 gal concentrate with 20 gal water and apply at .75 gal/s.y.
  • Roll to increase penetration and compaction.
  • Apply second coat: Mix 1 gal concentrate with 15 gal water and
    apply at .50 gal/s.y.
  • Roll again.
  • Subsequent maintenance applications can be applied
    following "Application Method A" above.
