EnvirowetDC-100

EnviroWet DC-100 is a proprietary, highly biodegradable formulation designed for dust control on
haulage roads. Supplied as a liquid, DC-100 is readily pumpable and readily mixes with water. The
unique properties of DC-100 significantly improve water retention rates, and make it much more
compatible with solvent extraction and bacterial leaching processes. These benefits make DC-100 the
safest and most cost-effective dust control agent available.

Applications
DC-100 is an effective dust control agent. Its
superior wetting characteristics improve water
retention and slow evaporation rates by 16 - 17%,
which equate to a corresponding reduction in water
usage and application costs. Since DC-100 is
highly biodegradable it will not build up with
repetitive applications. This minimizes the risk of
potential down stream process problems.

exhibits low toxicity to iron oxidizing bacteria, low

foaming characteristics and a lower tendency to
form stable emulsions than competitive products.
These characteristics make DC-100 much more
compatible with leaching and solvent extraction
processes than competitive products.

Solution Preparation
The Recommended dosage rate for EnviroWet
DC-100 is 1 gallon per 21,400 gallons of water or
~50 parts per million (ppm). DC-100 should be
added slowly to the water stream as it enters the
water truck. This will supply adequate agitation to
yield a homogenous mixture.
