Trick Shot® ASPHALT Solvent & Cleaner

Trick Shot® ASPHALT Solvent & Cleaner is a high-performance, eco-conscious solution engineered for the asphalt production, paving, and maintenance industries. This formula, which is biodegradable, non-toxic, and non-flammable, dissolves asphalt-based materials including bitumen, tar, oil, and tack from paving equipment, machinery, tools, and vehicle surfaces. Developed as a safer, more sustainable alternative to diesel fuel and harsh solvents, Trick Shot® ASPHALT delivers exceptional cleaning power without compromising worker safety or environmental compliance.

Trick Shot® ASPHALT is formulated with a soy-based oil and is registered under the USDA Bio Preferred Program, containing 96% biobased carbon. It meets the requirements for an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL) as specified by the Clean Water Act. Due to its low evaporation rate and high flash point, this product delivers sustained cleaning and release performance. Additionally, it is skin-safe and emits no harmful fumes, making it well-suited for routine use in rigorous asphalt operations.

Whether used as a cleaner for hardened asphalt buildup or a pre-treatment release agent for tools and truck beds, Trick Shot® ASPHALT offers powerful performance and sustainability in every application.

Paving Equipment & Tool Cleaning

Trick Shot® ASPHALT is the ultimate solution for cleaning and maintaining asphalt paving equipment, hand tools, and work surfaces. This highly effective, environmentally responsible asphalt solvent efficiently eliminates tar, bitumen, and hardened tack from pavers, rollers, screeds, hoppers, and spray systems, thereby supporting optimal equipment performance and durability.

It quickly dissolves heavy asphalt buildup on shovels, lutes, rakes, tampers, and squeegees, making it ideal for daily tool maintenance. Trick Shot® also tackles crystallized deposits with extended soak times for deep, restorative cleaning. For vehicles, it eliminates tack coats and overspray from truck beds, trailers, and shuttle buggies with ease.

Use it as a surface preparation cleaner before asphalt application to ensure strong adhesion and professional results. It also maintains asphalt storage systems, drums, and transfer lines by breaking down residue without damaging components. Designed for asphalt contractors, paving crews, and maintenance professionals, Trick Shot® ASPHALT delivers unmatched cleaning performance with safety and sustainability in mind.

Release Agent Applications

Trick Shot® ASPHALT is an effective asphalt release agent designed for use with paving equipment and tools. It is well-suited to prevent asphalt accumulation on hoppers, loader buckets, truck beds, screeds, rakes, shovels, and other paving components by forming a thin, durable protective layer that resists adhesion even after repeated applications. Its low evaporation rate enhances long-lasting performance, reducing the need for frequent reapplication and minimizing downtime on the job site. Perfect for asphalt contractors and road crews, Trick Shot® ASPHALT helps maintain clean, efficient equipment during paving operations.
