DUST Soy-Protein Lubricant provides top-end singulation and is less abrasive to seeds than dirty talc and graphite. DUST is cleaner, safer, non-carcinogenic, and made from U.S. Soybeans.
This is your Soy Check-Off Dollars at work!

CLEANER. SAFER. SOY. SOLUTION

Choose soy-protein DUST as a healthier, safer and cleaner seed and mechanical lubricant and as a replacement to graphite and talc.

This innovative, microplastic-free lubricant provides the needed lubricity for proper seed flow for any seed. DUST is proven to reduce static and to be up to 20 times less abrasive to seed than Talc (SGS Labs Study). Talc and graphite are designed to lubricate seeds and planter equipment.
DUST does the same thing but also delivers an additional benefit: NUTRITION FOR THE SEED! DUST is created entirely from U.S.-sourced soybeans. It takes one bushel of soybeans to make 11 lbs. of DUST. Since it is made from soy protein, it will disappear within 28 days from the furrow and provide more green-up and early plant viability.

DUST - SIMPLY CLEANER
DUST is naturally formulated to be less “dusty”. Due to this, it doesn’t take to the air as willingly as graphite/talc. DUST also does not leave your hands, your face, or your clothing dirty. It wipes off on contact and goes where wanted: on the seed and into the furrow.

DUST IS CREATED ENTIRELY FROM U.S. SOURCED SOYBEANS

It takes one bushel of soybeans to make 11 lbs. of dust.

Since it is made from soy protein, it will disappear within 28 days from the furrow and provide more green-up and early plant viability.

WHY DUST?

• Does all the things like Graphite and Talc with none of the problems!

• Lowers static electricity

• Healthier to use

• Don’t wear it home!

• Not found in the soil after 28 days

DUST PROVIDES THE NEEDED LUBRICITY FOR PROPER SEED FLOW

Ajay Sharda, Ph.D., Agricultural Engineering at Kansas State University, evaluated the fluency of Dust with funding from the United Soybean Board (USB). Sharda said, “Dust is as equally good as talc and graphite on seed flowability and we achieve the same level of corn seed singulation as other commercial product on all the different seed metering mechanisms.” Sharda’s research showed no differences between DUST when compared to talc, graphite and Fluency Agent Advanced on corn seed singulation. “Regardless of speed or population, DUST gave 98-99% singulation, the desired industry standard. However, DUST provided slightly better singulation with soybeans.”
