Dust-X RT904 Coal Dust Suppression for Rail Transport
Coal transport by open railcar can be a dirty — and costly — business. Traditionally used petroleum-based and other emulsified dust suppression agents solved one problem but introduced a series of others. Arclin’s E-Gen™-designated railcar topper is a safer, cleaner, greener and non-emulsified alternative for coal dust suppression for rail transport. The Dust-X bio-based polymer suppression agent captures the adhesive properties of renewable organic materials to provide superior performance, together with operational, environmental and cost benefits.
