STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO BLEND (Asphalt Emulsion Sealer)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO BLEND is a professional grade, Asphalt Emulsion (water based) sealcoating for jobs that demand outstanding performance. STAR MICROPAVE PRO BLEND has an extraordinary degree of toughness and water repellency, unmatched by any competitive sealer. The “Hot Blending” of catalyzed rubber and select polymers with the asphalt binders in STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO-BLEND greatly improve its durability and overall longevity. Superior water repellency is achieved with the use of specialty chemicals that enhance the water resistance of the cured coating. STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO BLEND has excellent resistance to many chemicals and deicing salts. The combination of state-of-the-art technology in manufacturing and raw material selection translates into the following:

OUTSTANDING PROPERTIES

• Outstanding Durability – STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO BLEND is know for its outstanding performance and consistency, properties that are demanded by professionals.

• Industry Leading Longevity – A professional grade sealcoating that was designed, tested and proven to out last any competing sealcoating in its class.

• Superior Flexibility – Ability to bridge minor surface (non-working) cracks in the pavement to eliminate water penetration and extend the life of asphalt surfaces.

• Beautifies While It Protects – Dries to an appealing dark charcoal color that enhances the value of the property. Snow removal becomes easier and traffic markings last longer.

• Resistant to re-emulsification in the presence of de-icing salts.

• Non-Irritating, Non-Toxic and Nearly Odorless – No noxious fumes or skin irritation during application. No solvent fumes, easy to handle, store and clean up. STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO BLEND is a low VOC product.

RECOMMENDED USES

STAR MICRO-PAVE PRO BLEND is recommended for all asphalt pavements; home driveways, commercial parking lots, apartment complexes, restaurants, schools, walkways, recreational/play areas, theme parks, airfields/taxiways/ airport shoulders, and many more.

Application Rates

Must be applied to structurally sound pavements. Do not apply over chip seal or gilsonite sealed surfaces. The application rates shall be dictated by the traffic pattern and usage.
1 For Low to Medium Traffic:
a) Concentrated Sealer – the total coverage rate of 0.18 – 0.20 Gal./Sq. Yd. or 45 – 50 Sq. Ft./Gal. (1.1 – 1.22 Sq. Meter/Liter).
b) Mixed Sealer – 0.27 – 0.30 Gal./Sq. Yd. or 30 – 33 Sq. Ft./Gal. (0.73 – 0.81 Sq. Meter/Liter).

2 For High Traffic Areas Apply Three (3) Coats:
a) Concentrated Sealer – the total coverage rate of 0.25 – 0.28 Gal./Sq. Yd. or 32 – 36 Sq. Ft./Gal. (0.8 – 0.9 Sq. Meter/Liter).
b) Mixed Sealer – 0.38 – 0.42 Gal./Sq. Yd. or 21 – 24 Sq. Ft./Gal. (0.51 – 0.59 Sq. Meter/Liter).

Application Tools

• Use conventional tools; Brush, rubber squeegee or spray rig.
• Clean up with Water. Do not discard washings in the bodies of water or down sewer drains.
• Dried sealer on tools – Wire brushing, scarping and peeling.
• Keep stored containers sealed tightly.

Curing Time

Cure time will vary according to temperature and humidity at the time of application. Insufficiently cured films wear prematurely. Lower temperatures, high humidity and lack of direct sunlight will prolong the cure time. Higher temperatures, lower humidity and direct sunlight accelerate the cure process. If a second coat is to be applied, allow the first coat to dry sufficiently to withstand light vehicular and pedestrian traffic without damaging or scuffing the coating. After the application of the last coat, allow the coating to cure at least 20-24 hours under good drying conditions.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Apply only on unsealed asphalt or surfaces previously sealed with either Asphalt Emulsion or Refined Tar based sealers. Do not apply over surfaces sealed with gilsonite and other solvent based seal coatings. New asphalt pavements must be allowed to cure at least 90 days in hot weather. Perform a water break free test to confirm that the surface oils have dissipated. Not recommended for steeply inclined surfaces, as they may become slippery when wet.

CAUTIONS

KEEP FROM FREEZING / KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
