|
|
Appearance: |
|
|
 |
The dark charcoal black color of Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product improves the appearance of
new and old asphalt pavements. Unprotected asphalt surfaces gradually lose their rich black color due to oxidation and
weathering.
Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product preserves the smoothness and resilience of asphalt surfaces
and helps hide rough spots, small cracks, patches and surface depressions. |
|
|
Pavements coated with Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product look cleaner because rainfall washes
dirt and debris easily from the smooth, non-porous surface. Traffic lines become more visible. |
|
|
|
Protection: |
|
|
|
Composed of high temperature refined coal
tar pitch, specialized clay system, select mineral fillers, and proprietary emulsifiers,
Star-SealŪ Sealcoating Product forms a tough, durable, and flexible coating that protects
asphalt from
the damaging elements of weather, water, salts, oils, gas, and a myriad of other
chemicals. |
|
|
|
Consistency: |
|
|
|
Made in a batch process where each carefully selected raw material is
electronically measured or metered, Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product is the most consistent
sealer gallon
after gallon after gallon. |
|
|
|
Economy: |
|
|
Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product substantially reduces maintenance costs and at the same time,
extends the life of new asphalt pavements by as much as 300%. The cost of Star-
SealŪ Seal Coating Product is truly a minor expense when compared to the cost of pavement replacement.
Star-SealŪ also greatly extends the life of older existing sound pavements. |
|
|
|
Recommended Uses: |
|
|
|
On all asphalt surfaces, subject to moderate to heavy traffic and / or frequent abuse by harsh chemicals, gasoline, oil,
grease, etc..
Such as Airports, Runways and Taxiways; Commercial and Industrial Parking Lots; Fast-Food Restaurants; Gas Stations;
Recreational Areas; Residential Driveways. |
|
|
|
Benefits: |
|
|
 |
Resists Fuel Penetration
Resists gas, oil, salt and chemical penetration. Asphalt is a petroleum derivative, soluble in distillates such as gas, jet
fuel and oil drippings. Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product prevents damage from distillates and
chemicals. |
 |
Prevents Water Penetration
The intrusion of moisture into asphalt pavement structure accelerates its deterioration and is strongly related to pavement
distress. The sealing of well-cured asphalt with Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product prevents the
seepage of moisture from snow and rain, thus preventing damage from freeze-thaw cycles. |
 |
Stops Oxidation
Actinic rays in sunlight can oxidize the asphalt oils in pavement, causing brittleness and a resulting loss of aggregates
which may rob up to 50% of the original asphalt thickness in just five years. A pavement sealcoated with Star-SealŪ Sealcoating Product will resist oxidative degradation and retain its value. |
 |
Reduces Costs & Increases Value
Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product, when properly applied under a continuing maintenance program,
will provide a tough, durable coating which will resist wear, compliment
your landscape planning and enhance the value of your property. The dark charcoal black color of Star-SealŪ Seal Coating Product improves the appearance of new and old asphalt pavements. Cleaning,
snow removal, and pavement marking become easier. |
|
|
|
Prime Coat |
|
|
For old, oxidized pavements, a primer coat is recommended.
The
suggested materials are noted below;
A. diluted with clean potable water in 1:3 volume ratio (sealer;water)
applied at 0.04 to 0.06 Gal (undiluted sealer)/ Square Yard.
B. Star One Step, diluted with clean potable water in 1;2 volume ration (Star One
Step;Water), applied at 0.05-0.08 gal. (mixed)/Square Yard. |
|
|
|
CURING TIME |
|
|
Will vary according to temperature and relative humidity at
the time of application.
Under ideal conditions (77F and 50 % R.H.) allow at least:
4-6 hours between coats
24 hours after application of the last coat, before opening to vehicular
traffic. |
|
|
|
WEATHER LIMITATIONS |
|
|
Surface and air temperature should be a minimum 50 F and rising.
Do not apply on rainy, foggy, or extremely humid days, or if rain is in the forecast
within 24 hours.
Dampen the pavement with a fine mist of water if the surface temperature is over 85 F to
facilitate even spreading. Do not allow water to puddle on the surface. |

TECHNICAL RESEARCH |
|
|
|
The two most important factors in
sealcoating strength and longevity are resistance to water absorption
and traffic abrasion. The following demonstrate why Star-SealŪ performs so well in "real world" situations. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
WATER ABSORPTION PROFILE
The cured films of sealcoatings have varying
degrees of water absorption, depending upon the water sensitivity of the
ingredients used in their formulations.
Star-SealŪ
is formulated the least water sensitive ingredients and is
therefore least affected by the problems associated with water
absorption. |
 |
SCRUB RESISTANCE UNDER WATER
(ASTM
D-2468 modified)
The cured films of sealcoatings frequently
encounter rain, snow and sleet. It is extremely important that these
films retain their performance properties under such conditions and not
be prematurely eroded by traffic.
The scrub resistance test has
consistently proven Star-SealŪ to have excellent
durability under water. |
