DESCRIPTION

MICRO-PAVEŽ is a heavy duty seal coating that is especially designed to protect and beautify asphalt pavements e.g. airports, commercial parking lots, home driveways, etc. Based on select grades of asphalt resins, minerals, specialty additives and performances boosters, MICRO-PAVEŽ provides maximum protection against;

* Weathering and traffic damage
* Moisture and water penetration
* Freeze / thaw cycle damage
* Surface raveling and checking

OUTSTANDING FEATURES

    * Outstanding Toughness: MICRO-PAVEŽ is useful on shopping centers and malls where typical ring road traffic causes other seal coatings to fail prematurely. 
    * Superior Flexibility: MICRO-PAVEŽ can be used to seal surfaces with small cracks to eliminate water penetration.
    * Non-Irritating: MICRO-PAVEŽ is non-toxic and nearly odorless. No noxious fumes and no burning sensation, during application.
    * Water based: No solvent fumes. Low V.O.C. product.

RECOMMENDED USES

MICRO-PAVEŽ is recommended for all off-street asphalt surfaces that are in sound and stable condition. MICRO-PAVEŽ provides a rich and uniform textured surface that is durable, skid resistant and easy to maintain.

ˇ Parking Lots ˇ Home Driveways ˇ Airports ˇ Highway Shoulders
ˇ Walkways ˇ Gas Stations ˇ Play Areas ˇ and more...

 

MICRO-PAVEŽ may be used on new or old surfaces. It is specially suited for play areas where foot traffic may cause scuffing with conventional sealers.

COLOR

Black after full cure.

APPLICATION

1. Surface Preparation:

a. Clean pavement of all dirt, dust and debris. Fill cracks with a hot pour crack filler or STAR STA-FLEX, STA-FLEX SUPREME (cold pour crack fillers).
b. Patch all broken and alligatored areas with either a hot mix or a cold patch material.
c. Prime all oil spots with STAR S.O.S. Primer / Sealer or STAR ONE STEP.

2. New Pavements:

    New asphalt surfaces shall be cured (approx. 90 days @ 70+ deg. F.) to allow light surface oils to oxidize. Perform a water break test by spreading some water on the asphalt surface. If water does not bead and spreads evenly, it is ready for seal coating.

3. Preparation of the material (Mix Designs):

MICRO-PAVEŽ is supplied in a concentrated form that has to be mixed with water, sand and additives (optional), according to the following general formula;

M ICRO-PAVEŽ - 100 gals.
WATER - 20 gals, max.
Sand/Aggregates - 300-500 Ibs.
Additive (MICRO-LOCK) - 2-3 gals.

The material shall be mixed to a uniform consistency and kept agitated during application. The use of an additive is recommended to boost the performance of the seal coating system, by enhancing durability, flexibility and toughness.

4.  Method of Application:

Airless spray, mechanical squeegee, hand tools-brushes and squeegees. Apply the first coat with suitable equipment and allow to dry thoroughly before applying the second coat. The final coat shall be allowed to dry at least 24 hours, under good drying conditions prior to allowing traffic.

5. Coverage Rates: 

Low to medium traffic - Two (2) coats, 0.25 gallon of the mix/sq. yard
High Traffic - Three (3) coats, 0.35 gallon of the mix/sq. yard

6. Weather/Ambient Conditions:

Temperature: Min. 60 F. and forecasted for the next 48 hours.
Relative humidity: Less than 60% is preferred, max. 80%.
Do not apply on rainy, foggy or extremely humid days.

7. Exclusions: 

Do not use MICRO-PAVEŽ over chip seal or disunite sealed surfaces.

To obtain the best performance results:

- Apply according to manufacturers detailed application specifications.

- MICRO-PAVEŽ is designed to be applied in two (2) coats for best results.

- Use 2% (by volume) of STAR MICRO-LOCK for all mix designs using sand / aggregates to attain proper sand anchoring and stop sand rollout.
