Field planning
From product fit to deployment
Product fit is only the first decision. The field plan still needs project-specific rates, equipment checks, safety documents, and acceptance criteria.
Identify the buildup
Determine whether the surface needs removal of grease, tar, asphalt, or a combination of deposits.
Choose the dilution
Match the working strength to the cleaning task. PCT permits dilution with up to five parts water; Crownwood can help choose the starting mix for the equipment and buildup.
Confirm surface compatibility
Review the current SDS and test an inconspicuous area before broad use, especially on coatings, plastics, seals, or sensitive finishes.
Clean and manage residue
Use the confirmed field procedure and collect or manage loosened asphalt residue in accordance with site requirements.
Project details to confirm
Confirm dwell time, package size, substrate compatibility, rinsing procedure, PPE, residue handling, and current SDS instructions before use.
