Is your dust control driving performance?
A mining road is the lifeblood of every mine. It affects health and safety, vehicle movement, maintenance, fuel consumption, water use, productivity and, ultimately, profitability.
So dust control is never just about dust.
Dust is only the symptom.
Dust is visible proof of underlying road inefficiencies and their related costs.
When a road becomes dusty, visibility can deteriorate, increasing the risk of accidents. Vehicles slow down. Water trucks run more often, consuming more fuel and water. Vehicle maintenance requirements increase.
The result is higher operational costs and lower productivity.
The impact can also extend beyond the operation itself. Mining roads sit alongside workers, surrounding communities and the natural environment, making road condition and dust management part of a wider operational responsibility.
The value of better road performance.
The conversation around dust control is changing.
The question is no longer simply how much dust you can see. It is how proper road maintenance and dust control can improve operational efficiency and profitability.
Health & Safety:
Less dust. Better visibility. Safer driving. Better health.
Productivity & Savings:
Less water, fuel and vehicle maintenance. Faster haulage.
Environment:
Renewable. Biodegradable. Responsible.
Performance:
Stable roads. Longer life. Lower upkeep.
Sappi Lignex is the solution.
Sappi Lignex is a lignin-based dust suppressant and surface stabiliser for unpaved roads.
It acts as a surfactant and binder, helping to keep gravel roads stable and dust-free. Consistent Lignex quality delivers cost-effective, consistent performance every time.
Applied to a well-constructed, well-drained road, it increases road longevity and reduces maintenance costs.
Produced from a natural, renewable resource, Lignex also brings an environmental consideration to road performance.
Rethink dust control.
