Chryso, a global leader in sustainable construction solutions and part of Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals, today announced the North American introduction of Chryso Eco Dust, designed to help construction, mining, quarry, and industrial 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,” says Daniel Bentz, SVP 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.”
A Flexible Dust Suppression Range
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 such as gravel roads, construction sites, stockpiles, and industrial operations 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.
Supporting Safer & More Efficient Worksites
By stabilizing unpaved surfaces and reducing airborne dust, the Chryso®Eco Dust range can help improve visibility, reduce the need for frequent watering and grading, and create cleaner, safer work environments. According to the EPA construction and related activities are a significant source of fugitive dust emissions that can impact local air quality.
The water-soluble formulation is VOC-free, biodegradable, UV-resistant, and non-corrosive, supporting environmentally responsible dust management while maintaining strong performance across demanding site conditions.
The launch of Chryso Eco Dust in North America expands Chryso’s portfolio of solutions designed to help customers address evolving operational and environmental challenges across the construction value chain.
