RoadTac Soil Binder Exceeds Performance Expectations

The summer of 2009 brought upon extreme challenges to the marketplace. With an unforgiving economy and State/County/City budget restraints, meeting the needs of our customers under extreme economical pressures became a priority. In order to maximize our customer’s investment, RoadTac needed to perform longer and require lower application rates than other products on the market.

Developed over 2 years ago, RoadTac is a premium quality co-polymer designed for maximum soil binding strength with added cohesive agents for flexibility. Crusting agents typically will sit on top of the soil and become brittle after time, thereby cracking over time and allowing for fugitive dust to once again become airborne. RoadTac was developed to penetrate the surface and flex with the natural tendencies of the soil during traffic and weather.

All Natural Bio-Based Dust Suppressants Developed for Environmentally Sensitive Applications

The Amber Group, LLC announces a launch of all-natural 100% agriculturally derived dust suppressants. The functional constituents of these products is derived from grain in the production of naturally-sourced biodeisel. The development of these products follows TAG’s mission to introduce environmentally-friendly products that allow for worry free application and depend upon renewable resources. With ever increasing stringent air and water quality regulations being mandated throughout the U.S., TAG has designed a product line that far exceeds any minimum requirements.

The environmental impact of the base materials of these products has been extensively studied and tested. Not only has the USDA approved the raw materials of these products as ingredients in organic foods (7CFR 205.605), all of the materials are being used in food, drug and personal care products. For food uses, the component is listed by the FDA as “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) as a multi-purpose food additive (21CFR 182.1320); among many other foods, it can be found in marshmallows, candy, fudge and baked goods. Studies indicate these materials present no ingestion hazards to animals. Aquatic toxicity studies have shown it to be safe to various species of fish at levels in excess of 5,000 mg/l.

Coupled with extreme eco-friendly traits, these bio-based dust suppressants can be used in wide variety of applications including construction sites, unpaved roads, wineries, dairies, horse arenas, and more.

Creating Solutions for the Concrete Grinding Industry

In 2005, TAG was approached by major concrete companies in California to address the new environmental laws passed by the State regulating the disposal of concrete grinding waste. TAG took on the challenge and developed several chemical enhancement programs for the separation of the concrete and water, including both precipitation and centrifuging. The constant changing variables of the concrete properties and solids created a challenge in the chemical program, ultimately leading to TAG’s development of several proprietary blends of dry and liquid products used by the top concrete cutting companies in the United States.
