What Is Dissolve-A-Krete?

Dissolve-A-Krete is a concentrated acidic detergent designed to chemically dissolve hardened concrete and cement buildup from the surfaces of transit mixers, drum chutes, concrete pump bodies, and other equipment exposed to concrete slurry. Unlike alkaline degreasers, which are ineffective against mineral-based concrete deposits, Dissolve-A-Krete's acidic formulation reacts with the calcium compounds in concrete to break them down into a water-soluble state that can be rinsed away. Available as a full concentrate, Dissolve-A-Krete can be diluted to appropriate strength for regular maintenance cleaning or used at higher concentration for removing stubborn hardened buildup.

Industrial Applications

Dissolve-A-Krete is the daily maintenance tool for operations where concrete contact is constant:

  • Concrete Ready-Mix Trucks — Dissolve hardened concrete from drums, fins, and exterior panels between pours.
  • Concrete Mixers & Batch Plants — Clean mixing blades, chutes, and hoppers to prevent mechanical interference.
  • Construction Equipment — Remove concrete splatter from bulldozers, loaders, and excavators before it cures.
  • Conveyor Systems & Forms — Keep concrete forms and conveyor belts free of residue that compromises finish quality.
  • Fleet Vehicle Washes — Maintain professional appearance on all concrete-contact vehicles.

Using Dissolve-A-Krete Safely

Dissolve-A-Krete is an acidic product. Always follow the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) instructions when handling, diluting, and applying. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) — including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection — should be worn during application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pressure washing alone cannot dissolve hardened concrete that has bonded to metal surfaces. Dissolve-A-Krete's acidic chemistry breaks down the calcium silicate bonds in concrete, allowing residue to be rinsed away after a brief dwell period — far more effective than mechanical action alone on set concrete.

Yes, Dissolve-A-Krete is formulated specifically for concrete truck drum and chute cleaning. Always follow dilution instructions and SDS guidance for drum interior applications.
