Concrete Paving Solutions for Time and Cost Efficiency.

DynaGlide® is your premier choice for protecting metal and various surfaces from the damaging effects of hardened concrete, which can result in unsightly cracks and chips that compromise both visual appeal and structural integrity. Proven effective by concrete paving companies, you not only prevent potential damage but also significantly boost the durability and lifespan of your cherished metal tools and equipment. While numerous release and  removal products are available, most fail to provide adequate protection for the underlying surfaces once the cleaning process is complete.

Concrete Damage Caused by Oxide Jacking

The expansive force of rusting, often referred to as oxide jacking or rust burst, presents a significant threat to structures constructed from stone, masonry, concrete, or ceramics that incorporate metal components. This phenomenon occurs when iron and steel products expand as they rust and transform into iron oxide, causing the displacement of various building elements. Additionally, corrosion of other metals, including aluminum, can contribute to the occurrence of oxide jacking, highlighting the importance of understanding and addressing this issue in structural integrity.

DynaGlide® Application to Rebar and Metal Interface

Addressing the critical issue of structural integrity is essential, and the use of an affordable protective coating for rebar like DynaGlide® plays a vital role in this process as it effectively prevents oxide jacking in all concrete applications, providing a solution that is not only more adaptable and resilient to temperature fluctuations but also more cost-effective compared to traditional polymer coatings.

Asphalt Brings its Own Unique Set of Release and Cleanup Challenges

Asphalt sticks because it’s created from a blend of aggregates and bitumen, with bitumen acting as nature’s glue that binds everything together. When heated, bitumen becomes even more adhesive, reaching temperatures above 300°F (150°C). If you’ve ever pondered why stepping on fresh asphalt feels like traversing a tar pit, now you understand. Research indicates that asphalt adheres to surfaces more effectively at elevated temperatures, which can lead to potential challenges during your projects according to Pavement Engineering (2021).

Choosing the Right Materials

Preventing asphalt from transforming into a sticky mess is all about selecting the right materials and properly preparing surfaces, saving you from those regrettable shoe choices along the way. To conquer that stickiness, invest in top-notch materials by using asphalt release agents like DynaGlide® or other specialized products designed for this purpose. These remarkable solutions establish a protective barrier that minimizes adhesive interaction, with studies indicating that a release agent can reduce asphalt adhesion by as much as 80 percent according to the Asphalt Institute in 2023. That’s quite a figure, much like the eye-catching mess your neighbor has created in their backyard project!

There are numerous compelling reasons to steer clear of diesel oil as a release agent, starting with the potential legal ramifications since diesel fuel is federally banned, which could result in hefty fines for contractors. Additionally, health risks arise from exposure to diesel vapors, putting worker safety at risk. The environmental impact is equally concerning given diesel’s capacity to contaminate groundwater and its incompatibility with modern asphalt mix designs. Moreover, diesel can lead to material degradation, weakening asphalt mixes and shortening project lifespans. The molecular damage caused by diesel’s penetration into asphalt disrupts its molecular balance, leading to structural issues. These critical factors highlight the importance of choosing safer alternatives to diesel oil as a release agent.

Proven Effective

“After more than two years of using DynaGlide Plus in our operations, ACME Concrete Paving continues to experience remarkable time savings and enhanced cost efficiency as we apply DynaGlide Plus as a surface treatment before loading concrete into our trucks, effectively minimizing concrete buildup and simplifying cleanup significantly.

We have also successfully utilized it as a rust protectant for our equipment transported across the Pacific Ocean to Kwajalein, consistently providing exceptional surface protection.

Personally, I have applied it to my lathe and milling cutters, and I can confidently attest that it enhances the surface finish. DynaGlide Plus Tool & Surface is perfect for woodworking, machinery, and commercial applications.” – Gary Ramsey, Parts Manager, ACME Concrete Paving
