What is Lignex?
Lignex is an environmentally friendly dust suppressant and surface stabiliser for unpaved roads, which Sappi produces from natural and renewable resources.
It acts as a surfactant and binder to ensure that unpaved roads remain stable and dust-free.
When applied to a well-constructed, well-drained road, Lignex will generally increase the longevity and reduce the maintenance cost of the road.
Lignex benefits
Health and safety – Reduced ambient dust levels translate into reduced occupational hazards which are related to respiratory diseases. Furthermore, driving conditions such as visibility and braking are improved.
Productivity and savings – Mining operations generally report improved haulage turnaround times, reduced water usage and reduced road and vehicle maintenance.
Environment – Manufactured from a renewable resource, it provides an environmentally friendly and biodegradable alternative.
Agriculture – Reduced ambient dust levels may also improve crop yields due to improved photosynthesis and pollination.
