DUSTNET, a liquid dust suppressant, is a truly evolutionary product on the
cutting edge of technology to reduce nuisance and respirable dust. |
| When
used on silica sand, DUSTNET is applied at the rate of only
forty (40) ounces per ton and reduces up to 97% of nuisance dust during
handling and transportation and as much as 76% respirable-free silica
during blasting. DUSTNET has also been tested and has been proven to
be equally effective with numerous other abrasives. |
| All
properties have been highly refined and tested to give the most efficient results
with the least amount of additives. The components of DUSTNET are so
compatible that all ingredients stay in suspension indefinitley. |
| DUSTNET
is impervious to extreme temperatures, making storage simple. DUSTNET
will thicken somewhat in extreme cold temperatures but will not freeze. Hot
climates have no apparent effect. |
An
analysis by gas chromatography / mass spectrometry using Environmental
Protection Agency
methods to determine the presence of any targeted toxic compounds, performed
by Law Engineering Labs of Pensacola, Florida, found that "as used commercially
in diluted state, this product contains toxic compounds at less than detectable
levels (two (2) parts per billion)." DUSTNET is more than one thousand
(1000) times less toxic than commercial gasoline or diesel fuel. Other tests
done by Data Chem Laboratories in Salt Lake City, Utah, using specifications
of the USEPA Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TLCP method 1311) for
determining if a waste exhibitsthe characteristic of toxicity, found that "DUSTNET
coated blast sand does not exhibit the characteristic of toxicty for TCLP volatiles
and semi-volatiles. therefore the proper use of DUSTNET
does not create a waste product considered hazardous under the applicable
regulations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act." DUSTNET
is not a hazardous waste nor does it produce a hazardous waste in use or manufacturing.
Therefore, disposal of empty drums having contained DUSTNET is accomplished
simply by recycling or rinsing, removing top and bottom of drum and disposing
of it at a locally regulated landfill.

The
use of abrasives treated with DUSTNET does not result in reduction of paint
performance, according to tests done by KTA-TATOR of Pittsburgh, PA. Commercial
grade steel panels were blast cleaned with both the treated and untreated abrasives
to acheive the SSPC-SP5 "White Metal" blast. The panels were then
coated with four different coatings (alkyd, epoxy, vinyl and inorganic zinc),
allowed to cure and then subjected to a variety of tests to include: ASTM D-3359
adhesion, ASTM D-1308 water immersion, ASTM B-117 salt fog, ASTM D-714 blistering,
ASTM D-610 overall rust, and ten cycles of freeze / thaw / immersion testing.
The subsequent test "failed to reveal any significant difference in
paint performance between panels blast cleaned with coated abrasive versus uncoated
abrasive."
|
| The
use of TC1210 DUSTNET will return sand blasting to the success once enjoyed
by the industrial sand industry and, beyond, will increase revenue while providing
customers with a quality product never before available, and serve in creating
a safer work place. |
