Soilbond A02 is a water-based dust suppressant designed to reduce water usage and lowers ongoing surface maintenance costs

Key Benefits

Soilbond A02 is a water-based dust suppressant designed for medium-term control of airborne dust across civil construction, industrial, mining, quarrying and agricultural applications. Applied as a diluted spray, it binds fine surface particles to form a cohesive surface layer, helping reduce dust emissions and the frequency of routine watering.

Effective dust suppression with rapid visible results
Significant water savings compared to traditional watering programs
Reduced maintenance costs through longer‑lasting surface cohesion
Simple spray-on application using standard dust-control equipment
Improves site and worker conditions by reducing airborne dust and particulate
Australian Made from naturally derived materials

Product Features

Surface crusting that creates a protective, flexible barrier to help lock dust beneath the surface
Enhanced cohesion that binds fine particles and strengthens the treated surface layer
Improved wet strength for more stable performance under damp conditions
Retained pavement flexibility without creating a brittle or rigid surface
Designed for successive maintenance applications to reinforce the treated surface and extend performance
Water-based formulation designed for responsible application across civil, mining, quarrying, industrial and agricultural environments
Available as a concentrate or ready to use

Product Description & Composition

A02 is a specially formulated, water-based dust control agent designed for short to medium-term surface binding and dust suppression.

The formulation promotes particle adhesion and surface crusting, helping bind fine particles to the treated surface and reduce airborne dust.

Soilbond A02 applies as a dark brown liquid that penetrates the surface material. The colour naturally lightens and fades over time.

A02 is formulated using materials derived from naturally occurring sources and is classified as non-hazardous in its supplied form.

Water Savings

Soilbond A02 delivers substantial water savings when incorporated into a regular dust‑control maintenance program.

Field trials have shown that sites using Soilbond can reduce water consumption by up to 80% compared with traditional watering practices, depending on site conditions, application rates, weather and maintenance requirements.

Reduced watering frequency can help lower operational costs and reduce demand on water trucks, labour and other site resources.

Maintenance & Longevity

Soilbond A02 is designed to build surface cohesion through successive applications. Initial treatment establishes the surface layer, while subsequent maintenance applications build on the existing crust, helping to extend dust-control performance.

As surface stability improves, maintenance frequency and application rates may be reduced, depending on traffic, weather, surface conditions and site requirements.

This progressive treatment approach can help maintain dust-control performance while reducing maintenance frequency and product usage over time.

Applications

Soilbond A02 is suitable for use in sensitive environments and areas where dust presents safety, operational or environmental concerns. It can be applied across a wide range of sites and surface types, including:

Mining and quarry operations
Construction and demolition sites
Industrial facilities and hardstand areas
Farming and agricultural properties
Unsealed roads and access tracks
Driveways and rural roadways
Public open spaces and recreational areas
Trafficked and non‑trafficked surfaces

Application Guidelines

Dust Control is achieved through a simple two stage topical application process:

Stage 1: Initial Application (Crust Formation)
Establishes the first cohesive surface layer by binding loose fines

Stage 2: Maintenance Applications (Crust Reinforcement)
Subsequent applications build on the existing crust to reinforce surface cohesion and extend dust-control performance

Suitable Application Equipment:

Water cart with spray bar or fan nozzles
Bitumen sprayer
Hand‑operated spray systems for smaller areas

Coverage Table

For standard dust‑control applications, Soilbond A02 is diluted and applied as follows:

Mix 1 litre of Soilbond with 9 litres of water to produce 10 litres of diluted solution
Apply 2 litres of diluted solution per 1 m² of surface area

Actual dilution and application rates should be determined according to surface type, traffic loading, weather conditions and required dust-control performance. Contact our team for project specific recommendations.
