It is called Lignosulfonate (sometimes referred to as “Lig”) and it is a dust control soil stabilization treatment? It is a naturally occurring polymer found in wood that acts like glue. Lignosulfonates work by binding the road surface particles together. Water evaporates from the lignosulfonate as it dries, and the dust particles are trapped by the high-viscosity, naturally sticky material. In addition, over time some of the lignosulfonates become completely insoluble due to solar heating.
The material we are using on the roads now is a blend of liquid magnesium chloride and a complex sugar.
It’s an all-natural, environmentally friendly solution for gravel road stabilization and
dust control. The CS’s hygroscopic properties naturally capture moisture from the air
keeping the road damp and dust-free for a healthier environment and a safer road.
“If you happen to drive through mag/sugar after it has been applied to the roads, please note that it is water soluble and will wash off of your vehicle”.
You can drop it off at the Maintenance shop and leave it outside the door in a sealed container.
