Optimization of Cypher Environmental Dust Control Product - (One year project)
EF 2015-16
Résumé
Dust control and dust suppression products are highly effective solutions for road dust and other dust control
and erosion control applications.
The most prevalent dust control products on the market are calcium / magnesium salts. These products are
highly corrosive and toxic to roadside vegetation due to their high chloride contents. These products are also a
threat to contaminating ground water sources.
Researchers from the Life Sciences department of Red River College was approached by a local company
Cypher Environmental Ltd - a leading provider of environmental solutions, to develop a new dust control
formulation that meets or exceeds the current performance of the existing Dust Stop Liquid concentrate by
utilizing renewable and cost effective raw materials.
