Dust suppressant for mineral fertilizers is a blend of a hydrocarbon base (base mineral oil or regenerated used oil) with the addition of fatty acids of vegetable origin and functional additives.
Dust suppressant is designed for application to mineral fertilizer granules. It is used to reduce dust formation of fertilizers during production, storage and transportation. After processing fertilizers with a dust suppressant, a protective shell is formed on their surface, which fixes dust particles and excludes the contact of fertilizer particles with each other, which prevents the formation of dust. Applicable to many brands of mineral fertilizers. Retains the protective properties throughout the long period in any climatic conditions.
There are two brands of dust suppressant available: mark A and mark B.
