It works darn good for that, too, but even that is hard to spray off. It seems...heavy. I did a job about 6 years ago up a dirt road where they used it for dust control, and where I park at my house, I can still tell it's there just from what dripped off my truck. And at our wash bay at the shop, it was harder to clean it off the concrete after a wash. Normal dirt sprays right to the drain, but this stuff just sat there.

The Utaliban has rigged up spray systems on a lot of freeway bridges around here and they use the heck out of it. UDOT has a zero tolerance for snow and ice on the roads.
