At Condor, we're constantly seeking innovative solutions that help our clients maintain cleaner, safer, and more compliant worksites. Today, we're proud to introduce Dust Shield, the premium dust suppression and road stabilisation solution designed specifically for the demanding conditions of unsealed roads, quarries, and construction sites across New Zealand. 


The Challenge of Dust Control 

Airborne dust isn't just a nuisance; it's a significant safety, environmental, and operational concern. Poor visibility on unsealed roads creates hazardous working conditions, while dust emissions can impact air quality and surrounding communities.  


How Dust Shield Works 

Dust Shield represents a breakthrough in dust suppression technology, combining two powerful mechanisms to deliver long-lasting results: 


Hygroscopic Magnesium Technology draws and retains atmospheric moisture from the air, keeping road surfaces naturally dampened even in dry conditions. This moisture-locking system minimises evaporation, ensuring extended dust control between applications. 


Proprietary Polymer Binding enhances surface wetting and spreading while binding fine particles together. This unique formulation improves compaction and stabilises the road surface, reducing erosion and extending the life of unsealed roads. 


Together, these technologies create a protective barrier that actively suppresses dust while strengthening the road surface itself. 


Real-World Benefits for Your Operation 


Extended Performance, Lower Costs 

Dust Shield significantly extends grading intervals, reducing the frequency of road maintenance and lowering operational costs. The enhanced surface stability means less material loss and fewer maintenance cycles throughout the season. 


Safer Work Environments 

Improved visibility on haul roads and work sites directly translates to safer operating conditions for your team and equipment operators. Reduced airborne dust also means better respiratory health for workers and compliance with workplace safety standards. 


Environmental Compliance Made Easy 

As environmental regulations continue to evolve, Dust Shield helps you stay ahead of compliance requirements. This solution effectively controls dust emissions while supporting your commitment to environmental stewardship; a value we hold at Condor. 


Versatile Application

Whether you're managing mine haul roads, quarry access routes, construction sites, or rural unsealed roads, Dust Shield delivers consistent performance across diverse applications and New Zealand's varied climate conditions. 


The Perfect Application System: TTi Water Carts 

For optimal Dust Shield application, we recommend pairing it with a TTi water cart. Our range of water carts available in 2,000 – 17,000 litres, are specifically designed for efficient and precise dust suppression application. 


Wireless Control allows operators to accurately apply Dust Shield from the comfort of their vehicle, ensuring even coverage and eliminating waste. Start the engine, control spray patterns, and adjust application rates without leaving the cab. 


Available for hire, purchase, or lease, our water carts provide a turnkey solution for Dust Shield application across your entire operation. 


Ready to Experience the Difference? 

If you're tired of constant dust suppression reapplication and looking for a solution that delivers lasting results, we'd love to discuss how Dust Shield can benefit your operation. 


Our expert team is here to provide tailored advice based on your specific site conditions and requirements. As proud New Zealanders committed to protecting our environment for future generations, we're ready to help you achieve both operational excellence and environmental compliance.
