Terrabind™ – biological dust control
Get rock solid haul roads and use 90% less water.
Use 90% less water.
Mines that use Terrabind™ consume 10x less water on their roads. Terrabind’s effects last longer than other dust control methods so it can be applied less frequently.
Stronger roads. No dust.
Terrabind™ keeps dust down by forming a solid cement-like layer on road surfaces. This reduces road damage so you’ll spend less time on road repairs and maintenance. With less water trucks on the road you also enjoy faster cycle speeds and safer road operations.
Biologically safe
3X longer active than traditional methods.
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.
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.
THE ONLY WET STABLE BIOLOGICAL DUST SUPPRESSANT ON THE MARKET
- As strong as bitumen, with none of the downsides
- Usable with existing equipment
- Non-toxic for people, plants and waterways
- 100 % biological
Application areas:
Ideal for road construction of primary haul roads. Build-in application for best wet-stability results.
Suitable for underground mining dust control as it creates a solid, non-slippery layer.
Additional benefits:
Terrabind Ultimate leaves no adverse effects on your equipment and does not create any blockages or product separations. It safes costs on mine rehabilitation efforts as no extraction after mine closure is required.
HIGH-IMPACT SOLIDIFICATION TO CARRY HEAVY LOADS
- Excels perfectly in bio-cementation
- High abrasion resistance
- Usable with existing equipment
- Non-toxic for people, plants and waterways
- 100 % biological
Application areas:
Ideal for road construction of primary haul and access roads. Build-in application for best results.
Additional benefits:
Eases operations and road construction through reduced road maintenance intervals. Leads to significant OPEX savings as non-corrosive to machinery.
CREATE LONG-LASTING DUST-FREE ROADS
The dust control alternative to water, lignosulfonates, and salts.
- Forms a solid road layer by means of bio-cementation
- Usable with existing equipment
- Non-toxic for people, plants and waterways
- 100% biological
Core Function:
Through biocementation, it forms a smooth, low-friction layer, reducing road and machinery maintenance, thereby saving time and resources.
Additional Benefits:
Performs exceptionally well in both spray-on and build-in applications with high abrasion resistance.
PROVIDING HIGH COMPRESSIVE ROAD STRENGTH
- Stands out with its rapid onsite solubility
- Superior soil solidification process
- Non-toxic for people, plants and waterways
- 100% biological
Core Function:
Through bio-cementation, it forms a smooth, low-friction layer, reducing road and machinery maintenance, thereby saving time and resources.
Additional Benefits:
Fast application, shorter downtimes for your operations
EFFICIENT EROSION CONTROL ON TAILINGS AND STOCKPILES
- Outperforms polymers in terms of durability and costs
- Usable with existing equipment
- No clogging and damages on your equipment
- Beneficial for plant growth
Core Function:
Terrabind TSF is a biological tailings capping product used to prevent any harmful fugitive dust escape into the surrounding environment. With bio-cementation, it forms 2-3 cm thick crust on the surface.
Additional Benefits:
Being 100% natural and non-toxic, it perfectly integrates into rehabilitation efforts. Available as powder and as a liquid.
Terrabind™ is the only proven way to get these results:
90% less water used
90% less diesel consumed
90% lower carbon emissions
66% less dust particles
10x fewer water truck trips
Manage tailings dust safely with no long-term environmental risk
Tailings storage facilities create ongoing risks to the environment and nearby communities. With Terrabind, you can safely control dust and improve tailings dam stability. It’s 100% natural so requires no additional cleanup when rehabilitating the site.
Most mines spray polymers on the tailings to bind the particles. Polymers create a layer of plastic that needs to be cleaned to rehabilitate the site and is extremely tough on equipment. Terrabind™ uses a natural biological process to bind dirt into a solid crust. It’s easier to store and apply while giving long-lasting dust control performance.
How does Terrabind™ compare to the alternatives?
A cleaner, safer way
to control dust
Many mines still use bitumen emulsion on their roads, but crude-oil-based products come with many environmental downsides. Bind-X is a cleaner option that still achieves the same cementation results to stabilise roads and keep dust down. Biological dust control is a new way to control dust. It’s natural, biodegradable and non-toxic for people, animals, plants, and waterways.
Proven and trusted at other mines
Mine sites across 300 locations already saved billions of liters of water every year with our new approach to dust control.
“This iron ore mine was on the brink of closure because of water scarcity and dust fallout. After they switched to Terrabind, they reduced water truck runs by 30% and no longer have a dust issue.”
