EaCo Chem C-Tar Melt Water Soluble, Non-Hazardous, Powerful Tar Melting Penetration

C-Tar Melt is a blend of water-soluble, non-hazardous ingredients that give exceptionally powerful penetration and softening action. Do not dilute the product with water; product action will be stopped with the application of water. It is biodegradable and will aid in the separation of the tar residue from the rinse water if you contain and store the runoff for a short period of time. The ingredients do not harm the skin, however skin will dry out if constantly exposed to the tar remover.

C-Tar Melt is safe for wood, metal, brick, and masonry surfaces, and will not raise the grain or cause discoloration of the surface on its own. This is a powerful penetrating system, so the best method of tar removal from a painted vehicle is by putting a small amount on a cloth and wiping. Some softening of the paint may occur (that will be stopped upon rinsing), but it is very important to always check the reaction before leaving C-Tar Melt on the surface.

Dilutions:

  • C-Tar is always used undiluted.

Application Instructions:

  • For tar removal from painted vehicles:
    1. Apply C-Tar Melt by putting a small amount on a cloth and wiping
    2. Follow proper rinsing procedures
  • For porous masonry:
    1. Spray C-Tar Melt on the surface and allow to dwell for approximately 5 minutes.
    2. Typically, two applications will provide better mechanical release than a single application.
    3. Number applications and dwell times will vary depending on thickness of the coating to be removed.
    4. Follow proper rinsing procedures.

Coverage Rates:

  • Coverage rates will vary based on dilutions, porosity severity of stain, application method, and other factors. Proper testing will determine actual coverage rate.

Rinsing:

  • Proper rinsing techniques determine the final look and quality of the job. A thorough rinse job is always recommended; however, our chemistry never requires flooding a wall.. C-Tar Melt can be rinsed using cold water and low pressure. Pressures that mark the surface should be avoided. When in doubt, follow the manufacturers recommended P.S.I. for the substrates.
  • Do not use a zero-degree nozzle.
  • Caution: Do not allow the product to dry on a surface. Keep rinsed off of glass at all times.
