New advanced dust-control agents are now available for communities and municipalities. This patented technology, invented and manufactured by Midwest Industrial Supply Inc. of Canton, Ohio, is sold under the names EnviroKleen and EK35.
Both are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with its Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program. This certification is an independent, credible and expert confirmation of a manufacturer’s claims about its product and protects users of this technology from deceptive or false claims.
EnviroKleen is a 99.9% ultrapure formula of patented synthetic fluid and proprietary binder system that is nontoxic to humans, animals, annelids and marine and plant life. In addition to being environmentally safe, it is economical because it produces long-lasting dust control and road surface stabilization. Its performance is “enhanced by traffic,” and it is expected to reduce road maintenance and material replacement costs. EK-35 has similar benefits but accomplishes them with a different proprietary rosin binder system.
