CHOKING OFF THE DUST
A Manitoba company, successful internationally, is making domestic inroads with its dust-suppression and road stabilization products – By Carrol McKormick
In cinematic fantasies, romance is a car kicking up a milelong plume of dust as the protagonist escapes to somewhere. In the real world, however, road dust is a curse. When fought at all, it is with endless applications of water or products typically containing corrosive, toxic salts. Winnipeg-based Cypher Environmental is working hard to change that.
Cypher has been making and selling two products for just over a decade now that speak to these problems: DUST/BLOKR®, a dust suppressant concentrate that is mixed with water and sprayed on roads with a standard water truck, and ROAD//STABILIZR®, which is worked into poor-quality roads to stabilize and strengthen them, as well as to suppress dust.
Unlike commonly used products that contain, for example, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride, Cypher promotes its formulations as non-corrosive and non-toxic.
