Frequently asked questions
What is Profit Science Liquid?
Profit Science Liquid is a polymer-based emulsion and is Ihobe Internationals latest development for dust suppression and road stabilization. Our product is designed for but not limited to primary and secondary mine haul roads.
Can Profit Science Liquid result in water saving?
Yes, although Profit Science Liquid is diluted with water, once pre-treatment has been applied there is generally no need to apply water for up to a month. Recurring maintenance applications require less water in comparison to a water only approach for dust suppression.
Is Profit Science Liquid Stable under rainfall conditions?
Yes, although Profit Science Liquid cannot be applied during rainfall, once the product has cured, Profit Science Liquid creates a hydrophobic surface over the wearing course and prevents water penetration into the wearing course and base layers.
Does Profit Science Liquid have the capability of withstanding force of large haul trucks?
Yes, Profit Science Liquid was designed and developed to accommodate the shear stress on haul roads which experience high levels of traffic. Profit Science Liquid was designed to withstand the force of 400-ton vehicles, which highlights the strength of our latest polymer
How does Profit Science Liquid assist in reducing operational costs to the mine?
Profit Science Liquid reduces operational costs by substantially limiting the need for specialised equipment, staff and water that would be associated with usual road maintenance costs.
Is PSL environmentally friendly?
Yes — PSL supports a cleaner, safer mining environment by significantly reducing CO₂ emissions, lowering water usage, and improving air quality for everyone on-site.
Can PSL result in water savings?
Yes, PSL results in a 90% saving in water usage when compared to water only application on the road.
