PolyCom Stabilising Aid & DustChek Dust Suppression are the gold standard in cost-effective, environmentally-protective solutions in surface control and protection for heavy-duty industries

PolyCom Stabilising Aid

Reduced cost

Compared to lime & cement operations, PolyCom Stabilising Aid requires no large quantities of gravel or other mined materials - instead using local resources. It uses less water, requires less maintenance, and less plant and machinery operation.

Resilient surfaces

After the initial application, PolyCom continues to absorb water throughout its lifetime, regenerating the structural integrity of the construction. This makes it resilient to wet weather and storm events, and a durable, more compacted surface.

Environmentally-protective

PolyCom Stabilising Aid is non-toxic, non-flammable, and non-corrosive and makes use of local materials, reducing damaging transport costs.

DustChek Dust Suppression

Lasting dust control

The superior surface produced by regular application of DustChek reduces the ongoing wear on haul roads caused by traffic and weather events, reliably mitigating dust-related hazards for workers and members of local communities.

Efficient application

DustChek consumes one fifth of the water compared to regular dust mitigation, and only requires application far less than the alternative of multiple times each day, saving hours on labour, vehicle use and road maintenance.

Simple and effective

As a simple water additive, DustChek is extremely easy to use, with no additional equipment required beyond the typical road watering fit-out for mines; it is manually handled and added to water carts as they are filled.

Commonly answered questions

What is the difference between PolyCom Stabilising Aid and DustChek Dust Suppression?

Both PolyCom and DustChek have been designed with similar goals of reducing expenses, preserving resources, and offering unobtrusive solutions for workers on the ground, but they are two entirely different products.

PolyCom is a surface stabilising agent, applied during construction to greatly reduce wear, cost, and maintenance of a road or other surface.

DustChek is a water-soluble additive that is regularly applied to surfaces to improve the top layer, mitigating dust and other hazards generated through regular wear.

Will pavements treated with PolyCom Stabilising Aid remain flexible?

Yes. PolyCom-stabilised pavements deliver comparable results to traditional stabilising methods with regard to strength but also remain flexible and resistant to shrinkage, cracking, and becoming brittle.

Do PolyCom and DustChek work when used together?

Yes. PolyCom-stabilised pavements deliver comparable results to traditional stabilising methods with regard to strength but also remain flexible and resistant to shrinkage, cracking, and becoming brittle.

How does PolyCom Stabilising Aid work?

After spreading and addition of water as required, PolyCom works by binding the particles when compacted, thereby increasing water resistance and improving and preserving the dry strength of the construction material. PolyCom has been designed so that it is transported and distributed uniformly throughout the material by water. Cross-blending or mixing the PolyCom-treated material completes the distribution process. PolyCom also acts as a lubricant within the material, aiding workability, and resulting in a denser, stronger pavement.

Will adding PolyCom delay my project or lengthen my timeframe?

No, the addition of PolyCom is not a factor in project duration, requiring only a few minutes to spread. After spreading, the road or surface can be constructed as normal.
