 Dust & Ice Control
 The Problem: DUST
 There are an infinite number of blends of footing materials that are used by equestrians in indoor/outdoor arenas. A common problem with in all footings is that they quickly develop dust because the footing is pulverized by the hoof action of constant riding and pounding. Even rubber products will break down and eventually become airborne dust particles. Dust poses a significant performance inhibitor and health risk to both rider and horse.
A horse in a dusty environment will be more prone to respiratory caused performance problems and infection than a horse in a cleaner environment. Proactively controlling dust to maintain peak performance and health is a priority today in both equine and human medicine.
The Solution: ECOMAG
While there are many types of dust, all dust is the result of the material becoming so finely pulverized that it can become airborne and consequently inhaled. The easiest way and most common method to mitigate dust problems is with the addition of water to weigh down the particles and prevent them from floating.
Watering, however, provides only temporary control and worse, it works to create dust. Watering also needs to be done continually in order to keep arena dust under control, this comes at a cost. Water cost, sprinkler costs, ongoing maintenance etc. Furthermore, whenever the footing dries out, the dust typically is worse than it was originally.
Enter EcoMag, a proven humectant or hygroscopic agent, which binds the fine solid particles to the larger soil particle by naturally absorbing moisture from the air. EcoMag will draw in moisture continuously and indefinitely, and suppress dust permanently in any type of footing in any equestrian application.
Example applications of EcoMag include:
 |
- indoor horse riding arenas
- outdoor horse riding arenas
- tracks
- roundpens
- walkers
- stable aisle ways
- equestrian arenas

FROZEN FOOTING & ICE?
How many time have you been forced to shut down in winter because the water saturated footing in your arena froze up and you could not ride? With EcoMag, it will never happen again, say goodbye to frozen arenas!
The added benefit of using EcoMag as a dust suppressant is that it will also prevent arena footing from freezing by naturally lowering the freeze point of water. Use EcoMag and experience the same consistency footing and dust free environment all year round!
