OT Gravel/Rock roads

[cavalot]

Question is anyone familiar with using Calcium chloride spray or Soy based spray to act as a dust suppressant on roads? Pros? Cons?

Thanks

We used mag chloride on construction projects but if it rains that crap gets all over your equipment. It works well though.

Last night, the Husker wagon ended up in the ditch.
A little dust would have been fine instead.

yeah I don't think mag is the way we will go. That will be the complaint if the cc does the same. Got to be better than ridiculous washboards and dust.

Calcium is corrosive soy based oil isn’t. I think they used to use soy oil at husker harvest days before the poured cement for the streets and some county road departments used soy on some really heavily traveled gravel roads

The question is how corrosive? Sounds like if you regularly maintain and clean your vehicles its a non issue. Soy based is expensive and their is a short shelf life before it has to be reapplied.

if your doing a long distance why not just use water? Calcium is pretty corrosive I’d personally stay away from it, I hate it when the state puts it down on bridges and intersections before a winter storm I think it’s more corrosive than the salt they spread with trucks

Water doesn't last for more than a few hours at best.
