Road OylŽ FAQs

  1. How long will it last?
    It depends on a number of factors such as traffic, track-on, and spillage as well as the condition of the road. Applications are cumulative, so reapplications should become more dilute and less frequent until the maintenance level is reached.

  2. Who else is using it?
    ROAD OYLŽ has been used all over the world for over 15 years, from the U.S. Military in Turkey and Somalia, landfills in Los Angeles, steel mills in St. Louis, coal mines in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia to gold mines in Indonesia.

  3. What dilution ratio should I use?
    ROAD OYLŽ can be diluted from 4:1 to 15:1 with water. The lower the dilution the more control you will get with each application and the less often you should have to spray. With track on or spillage, use higher dilutions and spray more often.

  4. Is it EPA approved?
    ROAD OYLŽ is made from all natural ingredients harvested on a sustainable basis. It has never had a problem being approved for use in any application or as part of an environmental permit issued to an operating entity such as a landfill, steel mill, or mine.

  5. Will it harm the water truck?
    No. When finished spraying, flush the system with water until it runs clear.

  6. Will it get on the vehicles?
    When freshly applied, it might splash on nearby vehicles.

  7. How do I clean it up?
    Fresh splashed product can be flushed off with water. Dried product can be cleaned with hot water and detergent.

  8. Will it track?
    Road Oyl will not track when applied as directed. Excessive application or over saturation will track when freshly applied.

  9. Does it cause rust?
    No. It is non-corrosive as well as non-hazardous, non-flammable, and non-toxic.

  10. Will it harm my roads?
    No. Unlike salts or other water soluble products, it will actually help stabilize the road rather than draw excessive moisture to the road base that can be harmful.

  11. Do I need to grade the roads first?
    It is not necessary to grade the road. However, we recommend, if the road is rough, grading the road first.

  12. How much does it cost?
    Road Oyl is an economical solution to dust control. Remember, this is a concentrate that is diluted from 4:1 to 15:1 with water before use. Your actual cost will be determined by the dilution ratio and  frequency of application.
