Field planning
From product fit to deployment
The product sheet gives the core use case. A successful 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 but does not publish a task-by-task table.
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.
What the one-page sheet does not specify
The sheet does not publish dwell time, package size, substrate compatibility, rinsing procedure, or PPE. Review the current SDS and field instructions before using the product on equipment.
