Gravel Roadway Dust Control: CaCl2 or MgCl2?
Gravel Roadway Dust Control: CaCl2 or MgCl2?
(OP)
I want to treat a gravel roadway for dust control. Should I use Calcium Chloride or Magnesium Chloride? Is one better than the other? What are the conditions that dictate use of each chemical?

Generally speaking, though, most people use the material that is cheaper and locally available - unless local experience has shown that the more expensive chemical is clearly superior -
Please see FAQ731-376 for great suggestions on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora.

One factor that I consider is the cost of re-application and durability.
I have many charts and cost formulas for a variety of products that can give you some direction. If you would like to explore further, please feel free to contact me and I can give you some information once I know the nature of the road being dealt with.
