Safer concrete removal for ready-mix trucks and plants — without the corrosive damage, fumes, or Dangerous Goods handling that comes with traditional acid cleaners.
SynTech™ is a patented synthetic acid technology engineered to remove concrete and mineral buildup from ready-mix equipment. Unlike traditional acids, it reacts selectively with alkaline materials like concrete — leaving surrounding surfaces completely untouched.
That means your drums, paint, chrome, aluminum, rubber, and wiring stay protected wash after wash.
Barracuda 10K handles heavy-duty removal. RMTW keeps buildup from coming back. Together, they replace acid for good.
Designed for thick, aged, or neglected concrete buildup on drums, chutes, and equipment. Barracuda 10K dissolves nearly 15% more concrete per application than hydrochloric acid — without the corrosive effects. Use it when you need fast, powerful results on heavily coated trucks.
A complete maintenance wash with continuous concrete removal built in. Ready Mix Truck Wash & Wax removes concrete as effectively as hydrochloric acid — without the corrosion. It cuts through grease, dirt, and road film, then leaves a protective carnauba wax finish with an anti-stick coating that makes future buildup harder to adhere. Safe on glass, aluminum, chrome, rubber, plastic, and paint. Apply and rinse — no neutralizing step required.

Acid-based cleaners have been the industry default for decades — but they corrode equipment, endanger workers, and cost more to handle. This includes urea-based and organic acid cleaners, which may seem milder but still damage surfaces and equipment with repeated use. Here's how SynTech compares.
| SynTech™ | Acid-Based Cleaners | |
|---|---|---|
| Removes concrete effectively | Yes — outperforms HCl | Yes |
| Safe on paint, chrome & aluminum | Yes | No — causes corrosion |
| Produces harmful fumes | None | Yes — requires ventilation |
| Dangerous Goods (TDG) classification | Not a Dangerous Good | Yes — regulated Dangerous Good |
| Special PPE / handling procedures | Standard precautions only | Strict PPE required |
| WHMIS 2015 classification | Not a controlled product | Controlled product |
| Biodegradable | 100% | No |
| Long-term equipment damage | None | Corrodes steel, pits drums, degrades paint, wiring & components over time |

No. SynTech products are not WHMIS controlled products. Unlike acid-based cleaners which require strict WHMIS handling protocols, SynTech can be stored and used without the regulatory burden of hazardous material management.
Barracuda 10K removes approximately 15% more concrete per application than hydrochloric acid, without corroding the steel drum, releasing harmful fumes, or requiring neutralization. RMTW outperforms HCl for regular washing while adding a protective wax finish.
No neutralization step is required. SynTech is 100% synthetic — not a traditional acid — so no neutralizing chemical is needed after use. Simply rinse with water.
Barracuda 10K is a heavy-duty stripper for thick, aged, or neglected concrete buildup. RMTW (Ready Mix Truck Wash & Wax) is a maintenance wash — it removes light to moderate buildup with every wash and leaves a protective wax coating. Most fleets use both: B10K for heavy treatment, RMTW for ongoing upkeep.

Yes. No fumes, no skin burns, no special PPE required. You can handle, store, and use SynTech without the protective gear or ventilation that acid cleaners demand. Safety Data Sheets are available for both products if you need them on file.
