Trans Seal I® — Dust Suppression · Erosion Control · Soil Stabilizer.
Non-Toxic Polyvinyl Emulsion · 55% Solids · Dries Clear · Chloride-Free Dust Control.
A Better Dust Control Solution — a non-toxic, water-based polyvinyl emulsion that binds treated surfaces into a durable crust — locking down PM₁₀ fugitive dust where salt-based suppressants fail.
| Non-Toxic | Environmentally Safe |
|---|---|
| Chloride-Free | No Salts, No Corrosion |
| Super Concentrated | Effective at >40:1 Dilution |
| Saves Water | Cuts Costs |
The Dilution Advantage — spray per gallon
One gallon goes up to 10× farther than typical polymer suppressants†
| Trans Seal I · soil · 1:40–1:150 | 40–150 gal |

| Trans Seal I · coal topping · 1:11 | 11 gal |
| Typical polymer suppressants† | 3–4 gal |
Why Trans Seal
Trans Seal I® is a non-toxic, water-based polyvinyl emulsion that delivers long-term dust suppression and soil stabilization. When applied, it binds loose surface particles to form a durable crust that controls fugitive dust emissions, including fine PM₁₀ particulate, and reduces erosion. Its extended performance minimizes watering and maintenance requirements, helping conserve water, lower operating costs, and improve site safety.
Originally developed as a coal-car topper to stop coal-dust blowback from railcars in transit, it's equally proven on mine haul roads and stockpiles. Unlike salt-based suppressants (MgCl₂), it performs in low-humidity climates — and independent labs have verified it non-toxic, twice.*
Features
- Conserves Water — Cuts routine watering cycles.
- Lowers Operating Cost — Less blading & gravel loss.
- Improves Safety — Visibility up; less flying gravel.
- Forms a Durable Crust — Lasting surface stabilization.
- Works Where Salts Fail — Reliable in low humidity.
- Fights Erosion — Armors soil against wind & rain.
Where it works
Mine Haul Roads & Coal-Car Topping · Rail & Open-Container Hauling · Unpaved Roads · Construction & Stockpiles · Demolition Sites · Military Training Areas · Dirt Tarmacs · Crop & Agricultural Sites · Recreation Areas · Solar Sites
How it works
Sprayed on diluted, Trans Seal dries from white to clear as it binds surface fines into a durable, water-resistant crust — locking down dust and armoring soil against heavy haul traffic, wind, and rain.
