- Product Highlights
- Specifically Formulated- NeSilex is formulated specifically for the construction industry to reduce worker exposure to crystalline silica dust by 100%.
- Effective Dust Control - NeSilex has been tested in real-world applications and has been proven to significantly reduce the amount of airborne crystalline silica dust at high dilution ratios.
- Save Time, Preserve Resources - NeSilex reduces the amount of water needed for adequate silica dust control–requiring fewer tank re-fills. It also preserves milling bits by keeping them wetter, cooler, and more lubricated.
- Hard Working Formula - NeSilex works hard so you don’t have to. With a targeted and specially designed formula, NeSilex is a concentrated suppressant that reduces visual and respirable dust at a high dilution ratio.
- The Big Saver - By reducing the amount of water needed for effective dust control, NeSilex saves you time, water, and money. NeSilex also preserves milling bits by decreasing the surface tension of water, allowing for wetter, cooler, and more lubricated bits.
- Benefits of NeSilex
- Improves Worker Safety - By reducing the amount of respirable crystalline silica dust present in the air, NeSilex makes construction activities safer. Testing shows up to a 100% reduction in silica levels.
- Target Formula - NeSilex is a specially formulated, concentrated suppressant designed for crystalline silica dust control in various construction industries designed to ensure a safe work environment.
- Meets OSHA Standards - NeSilex allows for exemption from exposure testing by keeping the permissible exposure limit of silica dust below 25μg/m³ as an 8-hour time-weighted average (see 29 CFR 1926.1153).
- Effective at a High Dilution Ratio - Our silica dust solution is highly effective at controlling and suppressing both visual and respirable dust at a high dilution ratio.
- Saves Time & Water - NeSilex saves you time and water by reduceing the amount of water needed for effective dust control.
- Preserves Milling Bits - NeSilex decreases the surface tension of water–allowing for wetter, cooler, and more lubricated bits.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Applicable Processes
- Solving The Silica Crisis
NeSilex is formulated specifically for the construction industry to reduce worker exposure to crystalline silica dust. It allows employers to maintain OSHA compliance and goes beyond the minimal guidelines to ensure a safer work environment. NeSilex can be used in various construction activities including milling, sweeping, crushing, mining, sweeping, and more.
- How It Works
Breathe Easier With NeSilex
- NeSilex causes dust particles to become saturated
- NeSilex also causes the particles to attract to one another
- This forces the silica dust particles to drop out of the air and onto the ground.
Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Compliance
The New Standard In Silica Safety
In 2017, OSHA revised the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica five times (5x) lower than the original limit. NeSilex goes above and beyond the new PEL, ensuring that workers are safe from the deadly hazards of silica dust.
Meets OSHA Regulations
NeSilex meets OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.1153 Table 1 Guidelines for Exemption of Employee Assessment for Certain Construction Activities.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Tested And Proven
NeSilex undergoes constant testing and product development to ensure that our silica dust suppressants meet your needs. Our team has a dedicated scientist, Dr. Mike, who is in charge of research and development of our products. Watch Dr. Mike test NeSilex to see how powerful this suppressant is–even at a small scale.
Safety & Health
- Compliance Is Not Enough
Worker exposure to crystalline silica dust has been proven to cause silicosis (a fatal lung disease) and many other significant health problems. It is important to look beyond regulations and prioritize the safety of your employees. From OSHA compliance to worker safety, and everything in between, NeSilex is the key to success and safety when it comes to milling, sweeping, crushing, mining, sawing, jackhammering and earth-moving grading.
