The Professional Way to Clean Concrete Trucks

The Smarter Way to Clean Concrete Trucks

We help the concrete industry keep trucks, equipment, and plants clean with powerful, cost-effective concrete removers. Our acid-based solutions are engineered to dissolve buildup fast, while minimizing corrosion, labor, and downtime. Whether you're dealing with fresh film or hardened concrete, we provide the right strength, tools, and support to get the job done efficiently.

Understanding Acid Types

Different acids, from glycolic and phosphoric to muriatic and citric, offer varying balances of cleaning power, safety, and corrosion protection, making it crucial to select the right chemistry for effective concrete removal.

What Really Matters

Choosing the right acid isn’t just about price, it’s about total cost of ownership, fleet preservation, and operator safety. We offer a range of professional grade solutions tailored to your fleet’s needs. Contact us

today for a customized wash program that fits your budget

and safety standards.

FAQs

  • How do concrete removers work?

    Concrete removers work by using acid-based chemistry to break down the calcium compounds that bind cement together. When applied, the acid reacts with the surface of the concrete buildup, dissolving it into a slurry that can be easily rinsed away.

  • What are concrete removers made of?

    The main ingredient in concrete removers are acids which dissolve the calcium compounds in hardened cement. They also include surfactants to improve surface penetration, corrosion inhibitors to protect metal parts, and water to control the strength of the solution.

  • What are the most common acids used?

    The most common acids used in concrete removers include glycolic, phosphoric, muriatic (hydrochloric), citric, and urea hydrochloride. Each offers a different balance of cleaning strength, safety, and corrosion risk, allowing products to target specific buildup levels and surface types effectively.

  • Why are acid concentrations important?

    Acid concentrations are important because they determine how aggressively the remover breaks down concrete buildup. Using the right concentration ensures effective cleaning without excessive corrosion, safety risks, or wasted product.
