Questions about arena dust control.

MAG^® Flakes are food-grade magnesium chloride with a neutral pH and are considered safe to handle and use as directed. Follow the current product label, safety information, and dealer application instructions.

No. MAG^® is supplied as dry flakes. It is distributed evenly over the footing and incorporated according to the instructions provided for your arena.

It has been used with sand, stone dust, wood products, rubber, and blended footings. Because arena mixtures vary widely, we ask about your specific materials and depth before recommending a quantity.

Many arenas require two to four pallets for initial stabilization. A typical 100 × 200-foot arena has historically used about three pallets, but this is only a general reference. Dimensions, depth, material, dust severity, climate, and traffic determine your actual recommendation.

A rotary or broadcast spreader is generally used to create even coverage, often in intersecting directions. The arena is then groomed according to the provided instructions.

The goal is to eliminate routine watering for dust control. Once the footing is stabilized, unnecessary watering can move product away from the working surface. Follow your arena-specific care instructions.

It can help maintain more consistent winter footing because the arena no longer depends on repeated water saturation for dust control. Site conditions still vary.

A common planning estimate is approximately one pallet per year for a 100 × 200-foot arena. Maintenance typically addresses new fines, doorways, rain exposure, and footing lost through traffic or cleaning.

MAG^® for arena dust control must be purchased through an authorized dealer to be eligible for the lifetime warranty.
