Product Overview

WG DustShield is WallGrip’s specialised polymer-based dust suppression solution for construction, roads/haul roads, mining and tunnelling built to control harmful airborne dust while conserving water and improving site safety.

The Problem

Traditional dust suppression using water-only spraying creates real site issues:

01

High cost and difficulty of sourcing water for continuous spraying

02

Continuous process requiring repeat tankers and repeat spraying

03

Slip–trip–fall risk due to slippery, mud-like conditions created by excess water

04

Extra housekeeping and cleaning cost due to excessive water usage

How It Works

WG DustShield uses a two-action mechanism to control dust effectively.

01

Wetting Action

Wetting agents quickly adsorb on dust particles and modify their wettability, reducing the contact angle for superior dust capture.

02

Binding Action

Binding agents trap soil particles; as water evaporates, the polymer hardens and forms a continuous matrix/film over the aggregate.

Site Outcomes

What you can expect from WG DustShield deployment.

70%

Water Savings

Up to 70% reduction in water consumption, and in many use-cases up to ~80% vs normal water-only dust control.

90%

Dust Reduction

Reported performance results show ~90% dust reduction in controlled reporting conditions.

5-7

Days Per Application

One application typically controls dust for 5–7 days; case reporting also references longer surface stability.

Safety Improvement

Job site does not become slippery after application, reducing slip–trip–fall risk; significantly fewer visible dust particles.

Variants

Choose the right variant for your site environment.

Roads / Haul Roads / Trails

WG DustShield R50

A highly effective option for stopping dust from roads, haul roads and trails.

Closed / Confined Atmospheres

WG DustShield 2022

Where It Is Used

WG DustShield is deployed across diverse infrastructure environments.

Road & Infrastructure Projects

Highways, haul roads-improves visibility and reduces hazards during construction.

Tunnelling Projects

Dust control in underground works and closed atmospheres (variant dependent).

Stockpiles & Material Handling

Prevents erosion, migration of dust, and loss of valuable construction/mineral material.

Embankments & Earth Filling

Prevents topsoil loss and reduces dust during construction phase.

Application Process​

A simple 4-step process from survey to sealed surface.

Application 01

Site Survey & Assessment

Measure area, assess dust/soil conditions, calculate optimal dosage.

Application 02

Dilution Preparation

Mix WG DustShield in a calibrated water tanker as per specification.

Application 03

Precision Spraying

Apply using calibrated/monitored spraying for uniform coverage. Digital monitoring can be used where available.

Application 04

Surface Sealing & Monitoring

Observe crust formation and track performance for re-application planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WG DustShield used for?
To control airborne dust on construction and infrastructure sites, including roads/haul roads, tunnelling, stockpiles and embankments.

It combines wetting agents (improves dust particle wettability) and binding agents (forms a matrix/film as water evaporates), creating a surface crust that suppresses dust.

Typical performance is 5-7 days depending on site conditions; performance tracking helps decide re-application timing.

R50 is positioned for roads/haul roads/trails, while 2022 is specialised for closed atmospheres like tunnelling and blasting.
