KLEEN KOTE Asphalt Equipment, Paver and Truck Instructions

  • Instructions for Using KLEEN KOTE on Asphalt Equipment, Pavers & Trucks
    • Mix Ratio 8 to 1 -- Dump Box Release
    • Mix  Ratio 8 to 1 thru 11 to 1 -- Equipment
    • Mix Ratio 50 to 1 -- Roller Water
    • Use KLEEN KOTE to keep asphalt from sticking to tools, equipment and trucks. It can also be used in the water tanks of rollers at 50 to 1. This will reduce the amount of water needed to prevent stickage and will also leave a coating on the drum allowing the operator to get off the pavement if the water should run out.
  • Tips for Use
    • Remove all previously used release agents from the equipment prior to applying KLEEN KOTE. This will eliminate any adverse reaction between KLEEN KOTE and any former release agents.
    • For best results, spray the entire paver, truck or other equipment with KLEEN KOTE the night before you pave.
      • If you can’t apply the product the night before your next pave, you can apply the product just prior to use. However, the KLEEN KOTE must turn from white to clear after it is sprayed on the equipment before you start paving.
    • KLEEN KOTE deposits a thin film of barrier protection. Do not remove the asphalt build-up from the paver or other equipment during the paving process. This will remove the applied KLEEN KOTE, causing the fresh layer of asphalt to stick to the paver. KLEEN KOTE must be re-applied to all areas of the paver where asphalt was removed and can be re-applied at any time during the paving process.
    • The paver should be sprayed every night regardless of whether or not you clean the machine prior to its next use.
    • KLEEN KOTE should be sprayed on the machine after every wash or job to help prevent rust will the machine is not being used.
  • Instructions
    • Step 1 – Determine Your Mix Ratio
      • Please see the above starting mix ratios. Ratios can be adjusted based upon your results. They may be adjusted up or down in one part increments to achieve optimum results.
        • NOTE: The more concentrate you add the thicker and more protective KLEEN KOTE will be.
    • Step 2 – Mixing
      • Using a clean container, add KLEEN KOTE and water to achieve the recommended ratio for your application. Adding KLEEN KOTE to water and then adding more water will eliminate the need for mixing. Do NOT mix with diesel, fuels or oils. Do NOT mix with other release agents.
    • Step 3 – Application
      • KLEEN KOTE may be applied at any time. For best results, the application surface should be cleaned prior to application. Remove all other release agents before applying KLEEN KOTE.
    • Step 4 – Spraying
      • Spray on and then let change from white to clear before using the treated equipment. If KLEEN KOTE freezes on the surface you are treating, it will still work. Reapply after every use.
      • Typical Coverage Rates
      • 1 gallon of mixed KLEEN KOTE will cover approx. 2000 square feet, depending on the surface type. Spray on for best performance and ease of application.
  • Notes
    • Reapply KLEEN KOTE every time the machine is cleaned. This will protect the machine from corrosion when it is not in use and it will be ready for the next time you pave.
    • While the feeder track is running, apply KLEEN KOTE to the edges of the feeder track to prevent lock up in cool weather.
    • You do not have to wait for the paver to dry after power washing it. KLEEN KOTE may be applied directly to a wet paver.
    • Do not reapply KLEEN KOTE in the morning if you have already sprayed the machine the night before. By spraying the paver again, you will weaken the grip of the first application of KLEEN KOTE.
    • Once KLEEN KOTE has changed from white to clear, it will NOT wash off during rain. However, KLEEN KOTE can NOT be applied during rain because it will rinse off before the product changes from white to clear.
    • In freezing weather, mix product as needed. Concentrate will not freeze however premix may freeze.
  • If you have any questions regarding the use of this product please feel free to contact Customer Support by telephone: 800.801.7832 – 847.639.7272 or via email: support@4progressive.com.

KLEEN KOTE General Vibration Facts

  • General Vibration Facts
  • What Are Some Common Misconceptions Regarding Vibration?
    • The vibration that you use should be dictated by the type of work that you are performing.
      • “I need the BIGGEST vibrator I can get. I want to MOVE the mud!”
      • "That’s the model my Dad and Grand Dad use to use. That will work GREAT!”
      • “HIGH FREQUENCY…That sounds high tech. It MUST work better!”
  • Why Do We Use Vibration?
    • To increase consolidation
    • To increase productivity
    • To reduce the amount of cement needed to increase strength
    • To increase the density of the surface and seal the concrete
    • To give a beautiful finish
    • The correct answer is…To increase consolidation.
  • The Rules of Vibration
    • How big of a vibrator do I need?
      • In general, the area of influence for internal vibrators is 10 TIMES the diameter of the vibrator head.
        • However, it is best to observe the area of influence on the surface of the concrete you are vibrating to help determine the vibrators area of influence.
      • Good vibration always requires overlapping areas of energy.
      • Always pick the right size vibrator for the job.
    • How long should I leave the vibrator ON or in one place?
      • Generally speaking, if the concrete slump is approximately 2 inches, then the vibrator needs approximately 25 seconds to reach the maximum area of influence. If the slump is approximately 6 inches, then the vibrator needs approximately 10 seconds to reach its maximum area of influence.
      • Keeping the vibration spacing and timing consistent will produce the best results.
        • Remember you need OVERLAPPING areas of influence.
    • How should I vibrate the concrete when pouring in lifts?
      • When concrete is poured in lifts, always vibrate each lift.
      • Always penetrate approximately 4 to 6 inches INTO any cold joint. This is done to bind the joints together.
      • Do NOT always leave internal OR external vibrators running while you are pouring. They should be used intermittently as you pour your concrete. Similar rules apply to external vibration regarding the area of influence and timing.
    • Are there any other tips for vibration?
      • Do NOT let the vibrator head hit the sides of the forming system; this action will make the concrete stick to the forms. Always try to keep the vibrator in the center of the forms or at least 1 to 2 inches from any form face or bottom.
      • Be sure to insert the vibrator completely into the concrete. In general, the vibration extends laterally from the vibrator head NOT vertically.
      • Remove the vibrator slowly, allowing the concrete to fill in behind it.
      • Over vibration can be just as bad as under vibration. Over vibration can cause the aggregate to settle in the pour, weakening the concrete.
  • This information is provided as a general guide to vibration and is not a substitute for proper training. If you have any questions regarding this sheet please feel free to contact Customer Support by telephone: 800.801.7832 – 847.639.7272 or via email: support@4progressive.com.

      • Do mix KLEEN KOTE in a clean container.
      • Do be sure to rinse truck of all chemicals after washing.
      • Do wash the truck with water only when possible. If it is necessary to wash the truck with soap and water you will need to reapply KLEEN KOTE to the whole truck again.
      • Do apply KLEEN KOTE to areas of heavy concrete contact after dumping every load.
      • Do apply KLEEN KOTE to under carriage of truck at least once per week.
    • Trucks can be cleaned with acid to remove as much of the hardened concrete as possible before applying KLEEN KOTE. If you acid wash the truck you must wash the truck with soap and water before applying KLEEN KOTE. This is done to ensure the acid residue is removed from the truck.
    • Even if the truck is not acid washed prior to applying KLEEN KOTE, try to wash truck with soap and water before applying KLEEN KOTE for the first time. This is done to remove all of the acids and other chemicals that have built up on the trucks from past cleanings and other applications. Be sure to rinse all of the soap off of the truck.
    • KLEEN KOTE is best applied with a spray applicator. Apply KLEEN KOTE to sections of the truck that will accumulate heavier amounts of concrete...let the product turn from white to clear and it is ready to use.
    • If you would like to shine the cab, drum or any area that is not subjected to heavy amounts of concrete, you may spray KLEEN KOTE onto small sections of the truck at a time. Before the product turns clear, rub lightly with a damp rag until the film is barely visible. Then buff with a clean, dry towel. You must not wipe the KLEEN KOTE off of any parts from the ring back for rear discharge and from the ring forward for front discharge (or any parts that may accumulate large amounts of concrete). Wiping in will reduce the product’s ability to release concrete.
    • On severely sun dried or acid washed paint you may need to apply KLEEN KOTE and allow it to soak in more than once. This will help to revitalize the color of the paint.
  • Instructions
    • Step 1 – Determine Your Mix Ratio
      • Please see the above starting mix ratios. Ratios can be adjusted based upon your results. They may be adjusted up or down in one part increments to achieve optimum results.
        •  NOTE: The more concentrate you add the thicker and more protective KLEEN KOTE will be.
    • Step 2 – Mixing
      • Using a clean container, add KLEEN KOTE and water to achieve the recommended ratio for your application. Adding KLEEN KOTE to water and then adding more water will eliminate the need for mixing. Do NOT mix with diesel, fuels or oils. Do NOT mix with other release agents.
    • Step 3 – Application
      • KLEEN KOTE may be applied at any time. For best results, the application surface should be clean prior to use. Remove all other release agents before applying KLEEN KOTE.
        • For best results, the hopper and chute should be rinsed and KLEEN KOTE should be reapplied to that portion of the truck after every load. The majority of the truck may be done once a week or as cleaning is necessary.
    • Step 4 – Spraying
      • Spray on and then let change from white to clear before using treated equipment. If KLEEN KOTE freezes on the surface you are treating, it will still work. Reapply after each use.
  • Notes
    • Areas that can be polished:
      • Cab, drum, wheels and any part of the truck not subjected to heavy concrete build-up.
    • Areas that should not be polished:
      • Any area from the ring back on rear discharge including, but not limited to: ring, hopper, chute and tags. For front discharge - Any area from the ring forward including, but not limited to: ring, hopper, chute, top of the cab, control boxes and the front bumper. The undercarriage can also be sprayed to help prevent mud from sticking and corrosion. Wheels may be sprayed and left or they may be polished, depending upon your personal preference. Any time KLEEN KOTE is sprayed and left to go clear, it will collect more dust but will provide greater protection.
      • In freezing weather, mix product as needed. Concentrate will not freeze however premix may freeze.

  • Notes
    • IMPORTANT VIBRATION INFORMATION FOR TILT-UP CONCRETE!
      • Vibration of concrete is essential to the proper consolidation of a concrete panel. It is not only important to the strength of the panel but also to the finish of the surface. Over vibration or improper use of a vibration device may cause random spot sticking of the concrete panels to the casting bed, especially when a reactive bond breaker like KLEEN KOTE is used. On panels of full thickness a shaft-style vibrator can be used but should never touch the casting bed or be dragged through the concrete. With insulated panels a shaft-style vibrator should not be used on the first 3” base pour; a vibratory screed or vibratory float should be used.
      • We can provide you with information you need to properly vibrate any job. Proper vibration will help ensure you are providing your customer with the highest quality panel available.
      • We also have a General Vibration Facts sheet available that provides additional information regarding vibration.
    • KLEEN KOTE can NOT be used in most stack casting situations. Typically, the concrete is not sufficiently cured prior to the next panel pour. If the concrete is cured for greater than 30 days KLEEN KOTE may be used.
    • In freezing weather, mix product as needed. Concentrate will not freeze however premix may freeze.
  • Many tilt-up projects have adverse or unusual conditions, if you have any questions regarding the use of this product please feel free to contact Customer Support by telephone: 800.801.7832 – 847.639.7272 or via email: support@4progressive.com.
