Overview & How to Use

What Resiblock Oil Remover does and the five-step removal process

Resiblock Oil Remover was developed for in-situ concrete and block-paving contractors as a fast, effective method of removing vehicle engine oil. Its rapid action removes oil staining while simultaneously restoring the natural colour of the paved drive or path. It breaks the oily film into soluble globules, enabling it to be readily pressure-washed away. It has no adverse effect on the finished surface of the paving or concrete, and no long-term corrosive effect on the cementitious base structure. After cleansing, the concrete is ready to be sealed with the Resiblock range of sealers and stabilisers.
