Long-Term Performance Validation:

Soil Solutions has mine tailings facilities treated 10-15 years ago that still demonstrate effective dust control, zero reapplication since original treatment, continued environmental compliance, and no degradation of performance over time.

Why EBS Lasts 10+ Years:

Chemical Stability: EBS does not degrade under UV exposure, remains chemically stable across temperature extremes, resists weathering from rain, wind, and sun, and maintains its binding properties indefinitely.

Structural Integrity: EBS forms permanent bonds with tailings particles that do not break down over time, maintains flexible durability under thermal cycling, and resists mechanical degradation from vehicle traffic or operations.

Weather Resistance: EBS withstands all weather conditions without degradation, performs in extreme climates from arctic to desert, maintains effectiveness through wet and dry seasons, and shows no reduction in performance over years of exposure.

Verified Performance Data:

Mine sites treated over a decade ago report continued dust control effectiveness, zero dust control interventions needed, regulatory inspections showing continued compliance, air quality monitoring confirming dust reduction, and community acceptance of long-term performance.

Application Considerations:

While EBS lasts 10+ years on static tailings (closed facilities or inactive areas), active deposition areas may require periodic reapplication as new tailings are added. However, even in active areas, EBS dramatically outlasts all alternative dust control methods.

Reduced Environmental Impact: Using EBS for long term sustainable dust control is a demonstration of greener mining and a mines’ commitment to greater sustainability as this decreases water usage and decreases CO2 emissions.
