Protecting stockpiles from wind and water erosion using traditional methods is a full time job. Canvas tarps, plastic covers are costly, time consuming to maintain and easily break down. Often their use results poor containment of the pile compounded by a labor-intensive cleanup and disposal.
DirtGlue Polymer Emulsion is an excellent alternative for the capping of storage piles. DirtGlue diluted with water (dilution rates are specific to application needs) is sprayed onto piles and forms a strong, flexible, three-dimensional crust. Water will now sheet off of the pile and wind will not move the crust, thus the pile is capped and stabilized against wind and water erosion.
DirtGlue polymer was used to seal a bauxite stockpile at a mining site as shown in this video.
