With an aim at the dust problem of open dust sources in construction sites, open stockyards, mines, docks, and other areas, a polymer chemical dust inhibitor was developed in this study that is suitable for stockyards through theoretical analysis and laboratory tests. Through a single-factor experiment and an orthogonal experiment, the viscosity value of dust suppressant and the hardness value of the crust taken as evaluation indexes, the optimal formula of dust suppressant for a pile was finally obtained after an analysis of range and variance: the optimum formulation of the dust suppressant for stockpiles was finally obtained by: 0.6%A + 0.2%B + 0.28%C + 0.7%D. The performance of the dust suppressant was characterized. The results showed that the longer the suppression time of suppressants, the better the weather resistance and environmental friendliness. Polymeric dust suppressants for stockpiles can effectively suppress the open dust, improve the air quality, protect the climate environment, and maintain people’s health and have a certain industrial application prospect.
