turn dust into solid ROADS.

Boost mine productivity
with rock solid roads
and use 90% less water.

We’re making mining cleaner with our new and proven biological dust control method.
It’s safe, non-toxic, and long-lasting.

Mining companies waste billions of litres of water on dust control

That doesn’t have to be the case. With our biological solution, you can create stable roads, save water and protect the environment.
“We are reaping the rewards of implementing Bind-X’s biological dust control on our mine.
It improves health and safety, operational efficiency and our environmental footprint.”

Introducing TerraBind –
the new and proven method of biological dust control

We turn dust into stone

Create more stable roads with less dust, even in wet conditions.
Reduce water usage

Use 90% less water.

Terrabind is active for longer so you don’t need to apply it as frequently. Our customers use up to 20x less water on their roads, improving long-term sustainability at their mining operations.
Stabilise haul roads

Stronger roads. No dust.

Terrabind forms a hard cement-like layer on roads to keep dust down and prevent wearing course damage. This takes water trucks off your roads for faster cycle speed, more availability, and less maintenance downtime.
Easier mine rehabilitation

100% biodegradable

Our technology uses a biological process that occurs
in nature. It’s biodegradable and completely non-toxic
for people, animals, plants, and waterways.

Terrabind – our biological binder

Better roads, more production

Terrabind is a proven way to get long-term  
production and environmental benefits and massively  
reduce water usage on your site.

It uses a natural biological process to create a solid road surface layer. Meaning you have less dust and more stable, hard-wearing roads that  require less maintenance. 

Road before and after treatment with Terrabind.

Terrabind works on your:

primary roads

secondary roads

tailings

stockpiles

Reduce dust fallout

3X longer active than traditional methods.

Unlike traditional methods, biological dust control is not just spraying down the dust, it transforms it into stone securing a longer durability of dust control measures. 
Protect workers from silicosis

Binds fine particulate matter

Terrabind effectively binds fine particulate matter, including PM2.5, which is known to have significant health impacts. This binding process helps keep dust out of the air and reduce the chances of mine workers breathing it in.

Secure your license to operate 

Improved air quality for surrounding communities.

Terrabind not only reduces airborne particles and improves air quality for nearby communities, it’s also cleaner for the environment. Thus, it contributes to healthier living conditions for local residents. 
Terrabind – our biological binder

Better roads, more production

Step 1:
Soil analysis

We run a soil analysis in our lab and make recommendations based on
your mine’s conditions.

Step 2:
Site trial

We ship you a sample of Terrabind with instructions. We can help you apply it or give you instructions to do it yourself.

Step 3:
Better roads

In less than 6 hours your road’s surface will harden into a smooth rock-solid layer. 
No dust and less watering, even with heavy haul truck traffic.
