TeraFil’s GRT Activate: Most Effective Dust Control Product
Process and Production Optimisation, Ionically Charged, Super Activation
TeraFil’s GRT ACTIVATE is used to super-activate water sprayed to control dust in material crushing, transfer & handling operations and optimizing soil/water conditions for road construction. Most fine dust is by nature hydrophobic (water hating) and at the microscopic level repels water – so despite the volumes used, the finest particles simply bounce off of sprayed water. These fine particles, which may not even be visible, are the most hazardous to health, leading to respiratory disease and eye irritation and damage.
These same product characteristics mean the addition of TeraFil’s GRT: ACTIVATE reduces water requirements for compaction and construction of roads – saving projects time, money and precious water! TeraFil’s GRT: ACTIVATE super-activates water to overcome this behavior causing the water to immediately coat even airborne particles, forcing them to drop out of suspension in the air.
Effective & Efficient
Injected into existing spray systems, trucks, or even stabilizers TeraFil’s GRT: ACTIVATE penetrates the material surfaces and intercepts airborne particles immobilizing fugitive dust. Importantly, the solution does not negatively impact material properties. TeraFil’s GRT: ACTIVATE is designed to make water work!
The key industries benefiting from this technology are:
- Quarrying and Mining.
- Road Construction (particularly where water is scarce or expensive).
TeraFil’s GRT: ACTIVATE super-activates water to overcome the high surface tension and surface charge properties of water to immediately capture even airborne particles, forcing them to drop out of suspension in the air. These same product characteristics mean the addition of TeraFil’s GRT: ACTIVATE reduces water requirements for compaction and construction of embankments and pavements – saving projects time, money and precious water!
TeraFil will also work with you to devise a site-specific dust mitigation strategy to meet the challenges facing your operations.
