Why PEGSIL
Mining operations generate significant amounts of dust, posing a hazard to workers and requiring robust control measures to comply with safety regulations and maintain a safe working environment. PEGSIL represents a transformative advancement in dust suppression and control across the mining industry.
Dust management in mining presents considerable challenges, as existing methods often fail to achieve optimal safety and efficiency. Many conventional dust control solutions, such as standard wet scrubbing, struggle to effectively capture fine respirable particles—the most hazardous to worker health. Moreover, these systems can be water-intensive, increasing operational costs and environmental impact. Despite their widespread use, traditional methods often fall short of meeting the evolving safety and sustainability demands of the modern mining industry.
Dust-related respiratory issues remain a critical concern, leaving workers vulnerable simply by performing their jobs. In regions without strict legislative controls on dust exposure, these risks are even greater.
PEGSIL offers a safer, more effective alternative. With its safe, biocompatible, and eco-friendly formulation—requiring only low concentrations—PEGSIL helps mining companies protect their workforce while enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing environmental impact. As a trusted solution, PEGSIL supports the creation of safer, cleaner, and more sustainable mining environments worldwide.

WHY PEGSIL
Dust is dangerous
The respiratory system is constantly at risk from exposure to various types of dust. Many lung diseases caused by inhaling harmful workplace dust are irreversible, making prevention the most effective way to protect workers. The best safeguard is eliminating dust from the air entirely. In this case, the principle of "prevention is better than cure" holds especially true.

METALLIFEROUS DUST
The mining of tin, iron ore, copper, gold, nickel, silver, and zinc generates metalliferous dust, both underground and on the surface. This dust is produced during extraction, drilling, hauling, crushing, stockpiling, and processing of minerals.
Metalliferous ores such as silver, uranium, and nickel contain toxic dust that can severely impact the respiratory system. Harmful compounds can also be absorbed into the bloodstream through the alveolar walls, posing a serious risk to multiple organs and body tissues. This exposure can lead to severe lung inflammation and long-term health complications.
ASBESTOS DUST
Asbestos dust poses significant health risks. It originates from asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral composed of flexible, heat-resistant fibers. When inhaled, these microscopic fibers can become lodged in the lungs, leading to severe diseases such as asbestosis and cancer.
No level of asbestos exposure in the workplace is considered safe, making strict control measures essential to protect workers' health.
COAL DUST
Coal mining generates coal dust, whether underground or at the surface. This dust is present in the air wherever coal is mined, stored, or loaded for transport.
Inhalation of coal dust can lead to coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, commonly known as black lung disease, which impairs lung function. Although safety standards aim to limit exposure, coal dust often contains silica, further increasing health risks.
SILICA DUST
Crystalline silica dust is generated in industries such as mining, tunnelling, and quarrying through activities like blasting, sieving, drilling, crushing, and transporting silica-containing rocks.
Inhalation of silica dust can cause silicosis, a serious lung disease that leads to breathing difficulties. Even brief exposure to high levels of silica dust can result in acute silicosis, while long-term exposure increases the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tuberculosis, kidney disease, and autoimmune disorders.

WHY PEGSIL
Respirable dust
SIZE = PM10
Dust particles of 10μm or less are small enough to penetrate the gas exchange regions of the human lungs.
We are talking small—very small...
-
Smaller than a single grain of pollen
-
Smaller than a white blood cell
-
Smaller than a single grain of salt
-
Smaller than the width of a human hair
-
So small they are invisible to the naked eye

HOW DOES PEGSIL WORK
PEGSIL is a safety focused polymer additive technology that is safe, biocompatible, eco-friendly, and self-cleaning. It not only enhances dust suppression but also improves the safety and cleanliness of mining environments.
PEGSIL transforms water into an effective dust control solution by reducing its surface tension, which enhances the process of agglomeration. When PEGSIL is dosed and diluted into water, the resulting mixture is pumped and atomized through spray nozzles. The reduction in surface tension creates smaller water droplets, which experience less air turbulence. This results in a higher rate of dust particles coming into contact with the water + PEGSIL mixture, facilitating their bonding, consolidation, and agglomeration. The agglomerated dust particles form a larger combined mass, causing them to fall from the air.

10 Times Reduction In Respirable Dust Exposure
It is noted that the use of PEGSIL as an additive achieves results up to 10 times more effective than water alone in the removal of respiratory-damaging dust particles (PM-10), specifically in silica dust control.
