Abstract
The invention provides methods and compositions for blends of glycerin and polyvinyl acetate emulsions which effectively decrease the dust forming tendency of particulate materials such as mineral fertilizer(s). These blends also reduce the caking tendency of mineral fertilizer(s), helping to maintain a free flowing material. Formulations based on these components, possibly including other additives, may also be useful for dust control and/or anticaking on other particulate materials including fertilizers, ores, coal, grain, etc.
