For Sustainable Dust Control

Innolig+ ©

InnoLig+© offers innovative solutions for dust control and road stabilization by enhancing the binding properties of soil and other materials. InnoLig+© is based on lignin which is the glue of the nature, keeping the cellulose fibers of the plant (in this case the fibers of the straw stalks) together and providing the rigidity of the plants. It is a bio-based binding agent, which can be used for the reduction of dust emissions on unpaved roads, construction sites, for agricultural use and in the mining industry.

It can be used on dusty and dust raising surfaces and solid bulk material to stabilize these surfaces to prevent the dust/loose material from raising. InnoLig+© is therefore especially useful in windy and dry regions.

InnoLig+© can be used as a bio-based eco-friendly substitute to either water or lignosulphonates or other traditional additives so far used as dust suppressants.

Key benefits:

Choosing InnoLig+© means opting for an environmentally responsible solution that prioritizes the planet.

  • LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENTS (LCAs)

Comprehensive evaluations of the environmental impacts of InnoLig+©, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

  • NON-TOXIC AND BIODEGRADABLE

InnoLig+© is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it safe for various applications.

why choose innolig+ © for dust control?

Safety and Health

  • Improved working conditions  Fine dust particles, especially PM2.5 and PM10, pose severe health risks as they can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. Prolonged exposure to airborne dust has been linked to respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and reduced lung function, as well as cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes. Workers in industries such as construction, agriculture, mining, and manufacturing are particularly vulnerable, but even urban populations are at risk due to air pollution.
  • According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution, including dust exposure, contributes to millions of premature deaths each year. Addressing dust control not only protects workers  by reducing hospitalizations.
    • Less dust emissions: Benefit for the environmental condition of the surrounding communities.
    • Long lasting effect: Retaining moisture by absorbing humidity from the environment.
    • Renewable Resource: For the production of InnoLig+©, wheat straw is used, a rapidly renewable agricultural residue, reducing reliance on fossil-based raw materials.
    • Biodegradable: InnoLig+© is inherently biodegradable, reducing long-term environmental impact.
    • No fossil fuel used for its production

    Economics

    • Cost efficient solution for keeping unpaved roads, construction sites, agricultural soil and mining industry roads safe and effective.
    • Long lasting protective effect of the treated surfaces with reduced maintenance to keep roads in good condition and operation – decreased operating costs for the application vehicles (water <-> InnoLig+®).
    • Increased production operation time.
    • Reduced maintenance costs of the application vehicles and equipment.
    • Easy application with standard spraying equipment.

    Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Infrastructure

    InnoLig+© is produced using a sulfur-free process, making it an environmentally friendly choice for dust control and road stabilization. Our product supports sustainable construction practices and reduces the environmental footprint of infrastructure projects.

    • Less water consumption for its production: When replacing water as a dust suppressant – saving of water due to its longer lasting effect, while water is a very precious resource in many areas of the world – ecological and economical benefit – improving environmental footprint of the user.

    Enhanced Stability and Dust Suppression

    InnoLig+© improves the binding properties of soil and other materials used in road construction and dust control. This results in more stable and durable roads, as well as effective suppression of dust emissions, enhancing safety and health for operators and the population while reducing environmental impact.

    • Strong Adhesion: Enhances the binding of soil particles, leading to stronger and more cohesive road surface
    • Improved Durability: Increases the resistance of roads to wear and environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting performance and reduced maintenance costs.

    Adaptable to Various Dust Control Needs

    InnoLig+© is a versatile product that can be used in a wide range of dust control and road stabilization applications. Its unique properties make it suitable for various uses, from unpaved roads and construction sites to mining operations and agricultural areas.
    • Unpaved Roads: Enhances the stability and durability of unpaved roads, reducing dust emissions and maintenance requirements.
    • Agricultural Areas: Reduces dust in agricultural areas, promoting better working conditions and protecting crops from dust-related damage.
    • Construction Sites: Provides effective dust control solutions for construction sites, improving air quality and safety.
    • Mining Operations: Suitable for dust suppression in mining operations, ensuring safer and more environmentally responsible practices.
    • Storage and transportation of ore and coal: Loss by wind can be significantly reduced.
