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.
ProGuard™ CAL Liquid calcium chloride is a high-performance dust control and soil stabilization agent designed to extend the life of your gravel roads and surfaces. Composed of calcium chloride (CaCl2), ProGuardTM CAL controls dust on gravel roads by attracting moisture from the air to keep surfaces damp, even in hot, dry conditions.
ProGuard™ CAL Liquid calcium chloride binds fine dirt and aggregate particles to keep surfaces stable and dust-free. ProGuard™ CAL can be used on gravel roads, parking lots and driveways as well as in mining operations and construction areas.
A high-performance dust control agent, ProGuard™ CAL liquid calcium chloride is designed to:
- Attract moisture, facilitating compaction and improving aggregate stability.
- Help limit deterioration and frequency of spot repairs, blading, and aggregate replacement.
- Create safer road conditions by increasing driver visibility and local air quality.
- Decrease road hazards caused by loose gravel and uneven surfaces.
ProGuard™ CAL is free of toxic metals and substances. Application rates vary based on soil type and traffic volume; typical application rates range from 1.0 to 2.3 liters per square meter / 0.2 to 0.5 gallons per square yard. Follow-up application rates are applied at half the initial dosage.
Calcium chloride and magnesium chloride solutions cannot be compared at equivalent percentages as they have different molecular weights. Molecular weight conversion has been universally adopted in most US States and Canadian provinces.
