Low Odour & Easy Application

Extreme Clean Tar & Bitumen Remover is a professional-grade tar cleaning solvent designed for heavy-duty applications across construction, road surfacing, and plant maintenance. Blended from TarSolve‑grade esters and low-odour hydrocarbons, this high-performance bitumen cleaner cuts through fresh, semi-cured or aged deposits on masonry, tools, asphalt equipment, and vehicle panels.

Unlike diesel or kerosene-based options, this biodegradable tar remover is safer, eco-preferable, and easy to rinse away with water. Its thick consistency allows it to cling to vertical or uneven surfaces, penetrating deep into the grime. Whether cleaning tools after tarmacking or removing bitumen stains from concrete or pavers, this product delivers fast, effective results with no harsh scrubbing.

Made and bottled in the UK, available in 5 L, 10 L and 20 L UN-approved containers.

Ideal Uses:

Tar sprayers, paving machines & asphalt equipment
Tools such as rakes, shovels, buckets & rollers
Masonry, paving blocks & concrete surfaces splashed with road tar or bitumen primer
Removing bitumen overspray from driveways or paths
Workshop flooring and access routes contaminated with asphalt or adhesive residues

Body panels, wheels and chassis of vehicles exposed to bitumen spray
(Always test delicate, painted or porous surfaces first)

Preparation –
Remove loose debris. Pre-wet masonry or brick to avoid deep absorption of both the tar remover and contamination.

Apply Neat – Use a brush, mop, or sprayer to apply directly. For lighter soiling, cut 1:1 with white spirit.

Dwell Time – Let the bitumen solvent sit for 5–15 minutes. Keep surface damp; do not allow to dry.

Agitate – Use a stiff nylon brush or scraper to loosen thick tar build-up.

Rinse Thoroughly – Use a hot or cold water jet.

Tool Cleaning Tip – For hand tools, soak overnight in a tray of remover; rinse clean the next morning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this tar remover on painted metal?

Yes – it’s safe for most industrial coatings. Always test a patch first; prolonged exposure may dull gloss on single-pack paints.

Will this dissolve tarmac or asphalt driveways?

Yes – it softens tar and bitumen, so only use it to spot-clean or strip intended areas.

Does it rinse off with water?

Yes – once agitated, it forms an emulsion that washes away easily with a hose or pressure washer.

Does this leave a film or oily residue?

No – when properly rinsed, surfaces dry clean without residue.

What safety gear should I wear?

Wear solvent-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing. Use in well-ventilated areas.

Can I reuse leftover remover?

Yes – allow tar to settle, decant the top layer, and reuse. Dispose of sludge as per local hazardous waste rules.

What’s the lowest temperature I can use it in?

Use above 5 °C. The product thickens in colder temperatures, so warm indoors if needed.
