Introduction: Dust is more than a nuisance on construction sites — it’s a safety concern, an environmental issue, and a potential compliance violation. At ESC Group, we use Dust Floc, an environmentally responsible dust suppressant, to manage particulate pollution and protect project outcomes.

Why Is Dust Control Important?

Uncontrolled dust can:

  • Compromise air quality for workers and nearby communities

  • Harm vegetation and local ecosystems

  • Lead to erosion and sediment runoff

  • Result in compliance violations and project delays

Watering may offer temporary relief, but it’s not a long-term or sustainable solution. That’s why we rely on Dust Floc.



What Is Dust Floc?

Dust Floc is a liquid polymer-based product that works by binding fine dust particles together, preventing them from becoming airborne. Once applied, it forms a protective surface that reduces dust, even in dry or windy conditions.

It’s used widely for:

  • Construction access roads

  • Soil stockpiles

  • Excavation zones

  • Temporary or idle work areas

  • Unpaved roads

How Does Dust Floc Work?

Dust Floc penetrates the soil surface and flocculates (binds) loose particles together. As it dries, it forms a thin, invisible crust that locks dust in place. This creates:

  • Reduced airborne dust

  • Stabilized soil structure

  • Lowered risk of erosion and runoff

  • Fewer water truck cycles — saving water and money


Is Dust Floc Environmentally Friendly?

Yes — and that’s why ESC Group uses it. Dust Floc is:

  • Non-toxic and biodegradable

  • Safe for workers, wildlife, and nearby waterways

  • Compliant with environmental regulations

  • More sustainable than repeated water applications

We’re committed to protecting the environment while supporting our clients in meeting environmental compliance standards.
