ProGuard - Model CAL - Liquid Calcium Chloride for Dust Control and Soil Stabilization
ProGuard CAL Liquid Calcium Chloride is engineered to address the challenges of dust control and soil stabilization in various applications, including gravel roads, parking lots, driveways, mining areas, and construction sites. This high-performance solution is composed of calcium chloride (CaCl2), which effectively attracts and retains moisture from the air, ensuring surfaces remain damp and dust-free even in arid climates. By binding dirt and aggregate particles, it promotes surface stability and longevity. ProGuard CAL is environmentally considerate, being free from toxic metals and substances. Its application rate depends on soil type and traffic volume, generally ranging from 1.0 to 2.3 liters per square meter, with follow-up applications at half the initial amount. Distinct from magnesium chloride, calcium chloride's molecular weight considerations enable effective comparison across US states and Canadian provinces. Research by Colorado State University has demonstrated its efficacy, noting a 42% reduction in total aggregate loss on treated unpaved roads.
