Quaker Houghton · Authorised Distributor — South Africa
MINETECH™ DG is a proprietary blend of wetting agents designed to accelerate water penetration in areas where dust is a hazard — a water-based dust suppression concentrate formulated for multiple mining applications including haul roads, stockpiles and processing areas. By lowering water surface tension, MINETECH™ DG allows water to penetrate and effectively knock down dust particles while significantly reducing the total water volume consumed for dust suppression purposes. Compatible with existing water bowser equipment, self-mixing during truck movement and suitable for inclusion in NDCR 2026 compliant dust management plans. Available through Orbit Industrial — authorised Quaker Houghton distributor, South Africa.
⚠ NDCR 2026 — Deadline 30 May 2026
Is your mine dust management plan compliant with the new National Dust Control Regulations?
The NDCR 2026 (effective 31 March 2026) requires every South African mine to submit a revised dust management plan by 30 May 2026 — naming specific dust suppression chemicals and application methods. MINETECH™ DG is suitable for specification in your plan. Contact Orbit Industrial for fast delivery before the deadline.

Features & Benefits
Lowers Water Surface Tension
The proprietary wetting agent blend accelerates water penetration — allowing the solution to effectively knock down dust particles that water alone cannot reach, delivering superior suppression per litre of solution applied.
Reduces Total Water Consumption
When used at the recommended dilution, MINETECH™ DG reduces total water volume consumed for dust suppression — a significant operational saving for open pit mines in the water-scarce Northern Cape and Western Cape.
Works With Existing Equipment
No additional capital expenditure required — MINETECH™ DG is added directly to existing water bowsers and self-mixes during truck movement. No dosing pump required, though one may be used if preferred.
Mixes Easily With Water
Simple dilution — add directly from the container to the water vessel after water has been loaded to avoid excessive foaming. Self-mixes during truck movement for straightforward field preparation.
Reduces Equipment & Labour Costs
Fewer bowser runs required per shift — reduced water consumption translates directly to lower bowser fuel costs, reduced tyre wear on haul roads and fewer operator hours spent on dust suppression duties.
No Traffic Stoppage Required
Diluted product can be applied to active haul roads without stopping traffic — minimising operational disruption and maintaining productivity during dust suppression operations. Apply as often as required to control dust.
Applications
Mine Haul Roads
Primary application — active haul roads in open pit and surface mining operations where continuous heavy vehicle movement generates sustained dust.
Stockpiles & Dumps
Ore stockpiles, waste rock dumps and tailings areas where wind-driven dust generation requires chemical suppression to meet fenceline dustfall limits.
Processing Areas
Crushing, screening and processing areas where material handling generates fine dust requiring suppression to protect worker health and meet NDCR compliance requirements.

Application Frequency
As required
Add MINETECH™ DG directly from its container to the water vessel after water has been loaded — to avoid excessive foaming. A dosing pump may be used if preferred. The product self-mixes during truck movement. Higher application rates and dilution levels may be required in high temperature or windy environments. Apply as often as required to control dust — it is not necessary to stop traffic during application.
