Technical Bulletin
Description :
Asphalt Release Agent Rx is a completely biodegradable lubricant. The non-hazardous, water soluble mixable agent is designed to provide clean rapid and easy separation of bituminous (asphalt) materials from beds of dump trucks and haul trucks.
Application : Prevents buildup of asphalt in truck beds.
Dose :
Can be used in automated spray systems. It can be diluted with water at a ratio of 1:1 or up to 8 : 1. It can also be used in concentrated form as a cleaner for asphalt tools and equipment.
Once applied to the truck bed, a micro-thin film spreads out across the truck bed. This film creates a negative electrostatic charge on both the surface of the truck bed and the asphalt. This causes electrostatic repulsions preventing the asphalt from sticking to the surface of the truck bed.
Usually three hauls can be made before another application is required. Other Asphalt release agents require an application for each load. This product, Asphalt Release Agent Rx only requires repeated applications if hauling SMA or other polymer type mixes.
