SprayOn for Mines

Control Dust Effectively with Advanced Spray Technology

SprayOn for Mines - Ecobond Product

SprayOn Technology

An Ecobond SprayOn reduces dust and improves water resistance of roads and material dumps such as ash heaps at power stations or mine waste material.

How it works: Ecobond SprayOn chemicals are mixed with water in a spray truck and sprayed onto the aggregate surface. As the Ecobond is initially water soluble it permeates into the soil, the water then evaporates as the Ecobond hardens and a plastic-like layer is left behind in the surface.

This binds the small dust particles to each other and also to the larger particles.

Application Process

Water is used to transport the chemicals into the soil:

  • 4ℓ/m² (litre/square meter) sprayed permeates 30mm deep
  • Penetration depth can be adjusted by using more or less water
  • Maintenance sprays are done at regular intervals as needed
  • Frequency depends on traffic volumes and application type

Unique Advantages

Water Soluble to Insoluble

Initially water soluble, goes where water goes, then becomes water insoluble. Won't wash away when it rains.

Smart Distribution

Permeates into weak, dusty patches more than strong, hard patches that don't need strengthening.

Cost Efficiency

2% dosage in 66% stone + 33% fines = effectively 6% dosage in fines only, saving money.

Selective Re-spraying

Re-sprays only needed on worn parts (20% of surface = 80% cheaper than initial spray).

Cost Savings Breakdown

66%

Cheaper re-spray penetration (10mm vs 30mm initial)

66%

Lower dosage rate for re-sprays (1% vs 3% initial)

80%

Cheaper partial re-spraying (20% of surface only)

Enhanced Durability

Truck tyres drive mostly on stones that don't make dust, while stones protect the Ecobond strengthened fines between and under the stones, providing a stronger and more durable road surface with minimal dust.
