What is CR-3600?
CR-3600 Corrosion Protectant is a patented non-toxic biodegradable solution that helps your paving equipment last longer and work better. Clean and corrosion free equipment will always last longer and work better.
How does CR-3600 work?
Once CR-3600 is sprayed onto the desired surfaces, it forms permanent chemical bonds to prevent corrosion and rusting.
What types of equipment should CR-3600 be used for?
It is formulated to prevent rust and corrosion on paving equipment as well as other winter weather equipment such as snowmelt spreading materials (both solid and liquid). However, CR-3600 can be used in all applications where corrosion may be a problem, even in warm weather.
Does CR-3600 react with any of the snowmelt mixes? Salt, Brine, etc.
None of them, once CR-3600 has bonded with the surface, it does not react with any of the snowmelt mixes.
Can CR-3600 be used as a primer on trucks?
CR-3600 acts as an excellent primer because of its ability to chemically bond to and protect bare metal.
What should CR-3600 not be used for?
It should not be sprayed onto glass because it WILL NOT come off. CR-3600 is safe on most plastics including lenses on the back of vehicles. Always test before application if possible to be sure.
Does CR-3600 have other uses?
CR-3600 can be used on all equipment because moisture will cause rust or corrosion during all seasons. Corrosion does not take a holiday in the summer.
Can CR-3600 you save money?
Absolutely, it is an economical product because it extends the life of all equipment while reducing repairs and maintenance costs.
How should CR-3600 be applied?
A simple garden sprayer can be used to coat ALL surfaces requiring corrosion protection. It does not need to be over sprayed because the solution will creep, allowing it to cover a larger surface area. Make sure NOT to over coat the surface with CR-3600 or it will not dry completely.
Are there any special conditions necessary for application of CR-3600?
As long as the coating surface is dry, CR-3600 can be applied in any temperature. It does not thicken when cold.
What types of equipment should CR-3600 be used for?
It is formulated to prevent rust and corrosion on paving equipment as well as other winter weather equipment such as snowmelt spreading materials (both solid and liquid). However, CR-3600 can be used in all applications where corrosion may be a problem, even in warm weather.
Can CR-3600 be removed?
It forms a permanent chemical bond with the surface it is protecting, therefore it cannot be removed.
Does CR-3600 need to be re-applied?
Yes, CR-3600 should be re-applied after each winter weather event. After the winter season ends, it should be re-applied before placing the equipment in storage.
Why does CR-3600 need to be re-applied?
As the salt flows through the equipment, the frictional force between the salt and the tank creates a scraping effect. The friction lightens or removes the CR-3600 coating. It needs to be re-applied to prevent any bare surfaces from forming to avoid corrosive damage.
Can CR-3600 be applied to a wet truck or equipment?
No, it will not penetrate through the water and bond with the bare surface. The surface must be dry for CR-3600 to have the ability to make its chemical bond.
Should CR-3600 be sprayed onto equipment before it is put into storage?
Yes, all equipment should be thoroughly cleaned at the end of the season. BioSpan Neutral Cleaner Concentrate should be used to remove any snowmelt residue left behind. After the equipment has dried, heavily coat the equipment with CR-3600.
Should a second application of CR-3600 be made during the summer?
Yes, a second application of CR-3600 should be made around the first of August.
Does CR-3600 need to be re-applied before first use in the winter?
No, as long as the equipment was properly coated at the end of the season and once again in the summer, then re-application will not be necessary.
