They are both sprays you apply to a stockpile of fines, or a roadbed, that makes them solid. Wear resistance, water solubility, and penetration vary with the different ones. As does lifespan, it can vary from a few weeks to upwards of a few years. Generally speaking, a binder will work better for a driveway than a crusting agent will. This is a pretty good article on the subject: http://www.miningmagazine.com/management-in-action/when-the-dust-settles?SQ_DESIGN_NAME=print_friendly
Thanks for the link and the smarts. I'm off to read.
