Caustic Damage,,,,,,,

Ron,is that runoff from cleaning the concrete? or from cleaning the pavement?

also is that permanently stained like that?

ps. please elaborate on this story,thank you
 
Yeah Ron, did YOU do that??

I can hear Ron blaming Scott saying I told you to stick to fleets, now look what you've done:)

Tim more then likely it is runoff from cleaning concrete, have seen it happen before. Easy way to talk a prospective customer into changing, just show him how the current cleaner is damaging his property.
 
Nope, not me. I have never done a Sonic. It was probably Rick from ARK.

Caustic cleaner are not compatible with petroleum based products.

Therefore if you use them you need not let them stand on asphalt or other surfaces that are petroleum based.

Does this mean we shouldn’t use them on concrete where asphalt is near? NO.. We just need to be aware of how much we are using and to rinse the asphalt clean.

I can prove to the customers that these products damage asphalt by just letting them read the labels on many different brand concrete cleaners. sometimes even there own!!!
 
I have never seen it that bad, what can be done to correct it or make it at least look better?
 
We use caustic day in and day out. When the product dries it will leave a hard granule substance on the service. That is caustic, we prevent this by using a procedure of neutralizing the area. We spray citric acid and that will neutralize the area. I would clean the service with a citric acid solution with hot water. I know very little about flatwork, however this process works on tile. concrete floors and so on.

Looks like someone put caustic on asphalt..
Also looks like some one did not rinse to good..

All the concrete cleaning I do Now I use Dawn Ultra and Bleach.. No Caustic...

Let's just say dawn works well and it will not leave marks..
Also if that is not asphalt and is concrete it can be fixed ...

If i was going to judge who did this I would say someone with a small cold machine , using alot of concrete cleaner and maybe same acid as well...
 
Rs-35

This is a caustic base but it is totally bio-degradeable. When you wash it off the fan and hood systems the surfactinates in it nuetrilizes the caustic and it turns into just dirty a!@ water. It iwill not leave evidence of caustic residue.
 
It comes in a jell form, liquid, and is ready to use.
