Chemical Process

With the extreme force and friction your runways endure surface rubber deposits build up, leaving your runways without the friction necessary for build speed on take-off and stop on landing. CKS has perfected the remedy for these dangerous conditions with a highly effective chemical process combined with water blasting. 

The chemical process comes first, pretreating the runway with Aerocleen Green, a cleaning solution designed specifically for rubber removal. It’s environmentally-safe, biodegradable, will not damage the pavement or any airline equipment, and meets all FAA regulations. Aerocleen Green works to dissolve the rubber build up, turning it into biodegradable dark water, and then our expert team follows with modern and efficient equipment: our hydro mower.

CKS Runway Services knows rubber removal well. With 25 years of experience, top of the line equipment, and a team with superior skills and expertise, we promise you’ll be more than satisfied with our runway rubber removal services. Contact us to get your services started today!

CKS’ powerful hydro mower blasts the rubber build up and vacuums the wastewater, leaving your runways sparkling and safe. Our equipment cleans between 20,000 and 25,000 square feet an hour, providing a top quality and expedient process. The trucks cover a 6-foot-wide path, ensuring you will have the least disruptive runway cleaning experience.

Our equipment is specially selected and is the best in the field of rubber removal. All our equipment undergoes routine maintenance and a full checklist to ensure full working capability. CKS values your time and we avoid costly hang-ups by keeping our machines running smoothly and efficiently.
