A third of all roads in the US are unpaved and dust fines are a significant problem on these unpaved roads. You may be concerned with the health hazards of air born dust or you're worried that the loss of the fine particles in the makeup of the road threaten it's very existence leading to more expensive repairs. The dust you see blowing away from your road is not merely a nuisance. The dust is actually aggregate fines which act like a glue that holds the road together. Potholes & rutting are caused by the loss of these fines due to wind, rain & watering.
Industrial Systems provides liquid solutions to your dusting roads. From high quality chloride products such as Liquidow CaCl to innovative proprietary products such as HygroChlor. that reduce, and virtually eliminate chlorides; we deliver unique, high-performance liquids that will preserve your surfaces and roads.
Our Liquidow Calcium Chloride* (CaCl) is hygroscopic. This hygroscopic quality allows the material to keep replenishing itself from the humidity in the air thus holding these essential fines in place an average of 2-6 months. Our Magnesium Chloride (MgCl) is similarly hygroscopic but is not as economically viable as an option in the Midwest region. Calcium Chloride is more available here due to being close to the source. Secondly MgCl is only available in 30% solution. In the area here 38% CaCl cost less than 30% MgCl. Ultimately, for the same amount of application labor and a lower material cost, the CaCl would last longer than the MgCl due to the higher solids content (38% CaCl vs. 30% MgCl). If for some reason you prefer MgCl we do have it available also. It is often used in horse arenas.

Our other products include:
HygroChlor is a blended Calcium Chloride dust control & road-bed stabilization liquid. It has an added wetting agent for better penetration along with dual corrosion inhibitors one of which is an amber carbohydrate binder to add stiffness to the substrate while also serving as a pattern indicator. The hygroscopic quality of Calcium Chloride allows the material to keep replenishing itself from the humidity in the air which means it minimizes dust for as long as 3 months. HygroChlor is a more enhanced blend than standard Calcium Chloride at a better price point!
