Concrete & Asphalt Removal
Dissolve hardened concrete and asphalt buildup on mixers, forms, and paving equipment
Ready-mix drums, forms, chutes, and paving equipment collect hardened concrete and asphalt that has to come off without damaging the equipment. The job uses concrete dissolvers for buildup and form-release agents that keep concrete from bonding in the first place.
ICD stocks concrete and asphalt chemistries with hazmat handling documented on each SDS. Review dilution and packaging, then request a quote with MOQ-valid quantities; freight is quoted by our team.
Common challenges
- Hardened concrete buildup on mixers, chutes, and forms
- Asphalt and tar residue on paving equipment
