Documented contribution to sustainable dust control
Dustex® is a sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly dust suppressant.
Dustex is an effective dust binder of unpaved roads. The product gives a long-lasting effect and can replace the frequent application of water, scarce in many parts of the world.
Dustex is safe to handle, environmentally friendly and non-toxic. The product is based on lignin, the natural binder of wood fibres in trees. Lignin is the binder that holds the wood fibres together, giving the tree its extraordinary structural strength.
Dustex has earned the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Certified Biobased Product Label.
Borregaard is the world’s leading biorefinery. Dustex and our other lignin-based products are produced from sustainably managed forests.
Dustex from our plant in Norway is the only commercial road binder with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD).
