In many places, it is a statutory requirement that all bulk material rail wagons must be either covered or treated.

Best-Chem Rail Wagon Sealant Systems can mitigate this issue by applying a polymer based coating to the surface of the material, thereby sealing the surface and preventing dust from escaping.

The firm top layer will remain unbroken during[transit](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/solutions/misting-systems) and will not affect unloading once the material reaches its destination.

In addition to supply of sealants, [Best-Chems](https://www.best-chem.co.uk/)offer a complete equipment design, build and install service.  Each system is customised to client requirements, with many options available such as:

#### Containerised systems

#### Fixed or retractable spray bars

#### Remote controlled operation

#### Sensor controlled operation

Our experienced team will recommend suitable application and dose rates and provide a comprehensive, reliable solution that keeps the dust down and your operations moving.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What quality of water is required?

The water used does not need to be potable. Best-Chem foam systems are equipped with specially designed large-orifice nozzles that are resistant to blocking. However, sediment in the water can affect pumps and valves, so we recommend filtration to 50 microns.

 

Are the nozzles prone to blocking?

No. Our systems use custom-engineered nozzles with large orifices, specifically designed to prevent blockages and ensure consistent foam delivery.

How much water does the system use?

Water usage varies depending on the application, but typically ranges between 0.1% and 0.5% of the material’s weight—substantially lower than conventional water spray systems.

What are the costs involved?

Costs depend on the scale and requirements of the project. We can provide budget pricing once we understand your specific needs. Costs are typically divided into two areas:

Capital Cost: Equipment and installation

Operating Cost: Foam agent and routine maintenance
