Bitumen & Tar Remover FAQ

Popular questions asked about Bitumen & Tar Remover

No dilution is necessary! Bitumen & Tar Remover is ready to use as supplied. Simply spray or brush it directly onto the affected surface.

We recommend allowing the product to soak for approximately 10 minutes. However, for heavily encrusted tar or bitumen, you may need to reapply or scrub gently with a brush to loosen the grime. Important: Do not leave the product on for longer than 10 minutes to avoid potential damage to the surface.

After the soaking time, use a power sprayer or a strong hose to blast off the loosened tar, bitumen, and the cleaning solution. The emulsification properties will allow for easy water removal.

It's always best to practice caution. We recommend testing the product on a small, inconspicuous area before full application to ensure compatibility with the surface material.

As with any cleaning product, it's advisable to wear gloves and eye protection when using Bitumen & Tar Remover. Additionally, ensure proper ventilation in the workspace. Always refer to the product label for detailed safety instructions.
