CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa., June 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Quaker Chemical
Corporation (NYSE:KWR, "Quaker") will be showcasing how its
DUSTGRIP® Dust Suppressants and MINETECH™
Ground Control Agents support a safe work environment and offer
compliance solutions at the 2017 Longwall USA Show, June
13th - 15th 2017 in Pittsburgh PA, USA.
(http://www.longwallusa.com).
The need for improved dust control in mining operations is
evident from the Mine, Safety, and Health Administration's (MSHA's)
new respirable coal dust regulations, which requires lowering the
level of respirable dust from 2.0 mg/m3 to 1.5
mg/m3, and mandates a significant increase in sampling
frequency.
In alignment with MSHA's new regulations, Quaker Chemical offers
DUSTGRIP®, a family of dust suppressant products, that
now includes a solid material product, DUSTGRIP®
JFP-95. These products:
- Reduce the generation of airborne particulate matter
from mines, roads, stockpiles, rail hauls, construction sites,
quarries and other areas where air-born dust is a problem
- Increase site safety for workers
- Are more effective than using water alone, reducing
costs and saving time
Additionally, Quaker has expanded its portfolio to include
MINETECH™ Ground Control Agents which can be used for:
- Ground consolidation and stabilization, in the event of
fractured and unstable ground
- Sealing against water ingress
- Injection of rock bolts
- Concrete and earthen dams
- Storm water systems, tunnels, manholes, and underground
vaults
Quaker's dust suppressants, ground control agents, and entire
mining portfolio ranging from fire-resistant longwall hydraulic
fluids, greases, gear lubricants, and cleaners
(https://www.quakerchem.com/expert-experience/industry-expertise/mining/)
will be represented in Booth 513, at Longwall USA 2017, the longwall mining industry's
premier technology event, from June
13th – 15th.
