Dust control and dust suppression are very important in heavy industries that generate large quantities of dust, such as fugitive dust to larger-sized dust particles. Dust can create extreme personal health and environmental issues if it is not controlled. Dust also poses an explosion threat. There are various methods and equipment used for effective dust suppression and dust control in many industries. Different dust control or suppression chemicals are lignin sulfonate, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, asphalt emulsions, oil emulsions, polymeric emulsions, and many others. Dust control or suppression chemicals find application in many industries, such as mining, construction, oil & gas, food & beverage, textile, glass & ceramics, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, metal processing, chemicals, woodworking, and power generation. The mining industry is one of the major industries for dust control or suppression chemicals. In the mining industry, both surface and underground mining operations generate dust during the extraction and processing of minerals.
The major factor driving the Brazil dust control or suppression chemicals market growth is the rising demand for dust control or suppression chemicals from the construction industry. According to the US and the Brazilian Green Building Councils, Brazil accounted for over 1.2 million square meters of certified buildings, ranking seventh in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) registrations worldwide in 2021. The government of Brazil has taken a massive privatization initiative through the pipeline of concession auctions and regulatory reforms to attract financing for the development of the infrastructure sector. This initiative fuels the Brazilian construction industry, thereby triggering the demand for dust control or suppression chemicals. According to a report by the International Trade Administration, in 2022, the Ministry of Finance and the banking system in Brazil issued credit lines for the construction of ~530,000 new residential units. Dust suppression chemicals are used at the construction sites to reduce the dust generated from demolition, excavation, grading, and material handling. Dust control or suppression chemicals can be applied to unpaved surfaces, haul roads, and tailing dams for adhering to construction obligations and dealing with productivity constraints. However, the availability of alternatives is expected to hamper the Brazil dust control or suppression chemicals market growth. Several alternatives, such as water and vegetable oil, are available in the dust control or suppression chemicals market. Water is the most effective and eco-friendly dust suppressant. However, the application of water as a dust suppressant can be challenging in areas with limited water resources. Various dust suppressant alternatives are more environmentally friendly than conventional dust control chemicals. All these factors are expected to hamper the Brazil dust control or suppression chemicals market growth.
