Chryso, part of Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals, announced the North American introduction of Chryso Eco Dust, designed to help operations manage dust more effectively while improving jobsite safety and environmental performance.
Unlike traditional dust suppression approaches that rely on calcium chloride, which can contribute to corrosion of equipment and surrounding infrastructure, Chryso Eco Dust provides a non-corrosive alternative designed to deliver durable dust control across unpaved surfaces and operational areas.
Already used successfully in other regions, the Eco Dust technology is now available for North American job sites, expanding Chryso’s North American portfolio beyond concrete production to support site preparation and operational maintenance.
“Dust control is a constant challenge for construction and industrial operations, particularly on unpaved surfaces where visibility, safety, and environmental compliance are critical,” said Daniel Bentz, senior vice president and general manager, United States, Chryso North America.
“With Chryso Eco Dust now available in North America, we’re providing customers with an effective alternative to traditional calcium chloride treatments, helping reduce corrosion risks while delivering durable dust suppression for cleaner, safer and more efficient job sites.”
The Chryso Eco Dust range includes two solutions designed to address varying site conditions and performance needs:
- Chryso Dust Primer. A natural, short-term dust suppression solution designed for sensitive environments and low-traffic areas. Derived from a co-product of cellulose production, Dust Primer acts as a binding surface additive that stabilizes dust while prioritizing biodegradability and cost-effectiveness.
- Chryso Eco Dust 100. A premium, long-term dust suppressant formulated with a fine particle poly-adhesive designed to provide excellent dust binding, superior durability, and extended water resistance. It is well suited for demanding environments where rainfall tolerance and longer-lasting performance are required.
Powered by natural, biodegradable polymers, the Eco Dust solutions bind fine particles at the surface to stabilize dust, prevent airborne emissions, and improve surface durability.
