FAQs

MgCl2 is a liquid compound produced from naturally-occurring minerals in the Solar Evaporation Salt Ponds in the Bay Area.

Solar salt is produced through the natural evaporation of sea water or other naturally occurring brine. Salt water is captured in shallow ponds and allowed to evaporate by means of the sun and wind. During the process, a salt bed forms on the bottom of the pond. The salt is harvested, washed, screened and packaged. The typical solar “crop” takes from one to five years to produce.

• It reduces the need for blading, watering, and gravel replacement
• Reduces dust mites, mold in vineyards and other vegetation
• Reduces vehicle maintenance costs by lowering the levels of dust that clogs filters, bearings, and machinery
• Provides a smooth, firm driving surface which increases productivity, decreases fuel consumption, and saves time
• Prevents costly soil erosion caused by destructive wind conditions
• Reduced the cost of cleaning vehicles, equipment, property, vegetation, and living sites
• Reduces replacement expenses of windshields by controlling gravel spray in business yard locations

• Improves visibility, reducing the chance of accidents.
• Reduces chance of injury from flying stones and loose gravel around a work site.
• Provides cleaner air, cleaner vehicles, and cleaner homes.
• Reduces the risk of respiratory problems caused by dust inhalation

With the cost of maintaining gravel or dirt roads and air pollution concerns, many Federal, State, County, City agencies, along with private Industries have been forced to look for alternative means. Horse riding arenas, Rodeo arenas, baseball fields, parks, truck yards, parking lots, construction sites, and gravel or dirt roads are also prime candidates for Dust-Off dust control.
