STAR-SEAL SUPREME was designed with increased levels rubber and performance boosting specialty chemicals to deliver unmatched performance. STAR-SEAL SUPREME has excellent resistance to gasoline, oil, chemicals and deicing salts. The combination of state-of-the-art technology in manufacturing and raw material selection translates into the following: OUTSTANDING PROPERTIES • Excellent Durability – STAR-SEAL SUPREME is know for its outstanding performance and consistency, properties that are demanded by professionals. • Industry Leading Longevity – A premium grade sealcoating that was designed, tested and proven to outlast 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. RECOMMENDED USES STAR-SEAL SUPREME is recommended for all asphalt pavements; home driveways, commercial parking lots, apartment complexes, restaurants, schools, gas stations, truck terminals, airfields/taxiways/airport shoulders, and many more. MIX DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Important – All mix designs must include clean, quartz, angular sand US METRIC STAR-SEAL SUPREME 100 Gal. 100 Liters Water (Clean, Potable) 25-30 Gal. 25-30 Liters Sand/Aggregate 50-70 AFS* 300-500 Lbs. 36-60 Kg. * Crushed slag (i.e. Black Beauty) may be used as the aggregate, provided it is clean, angular and within 50-70 AFS gradation. The use of an additive is optional, follow STAR’s recommendations 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 Areas Apply Two (2) Coats: 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 – 0.26 – 0.29 Gal./Sq. Yd. or 31 – 35 Sq. Ft./Gal. (0.76 – 0.86 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 – 0.37 – 0.40 Gal./Sq. Yd. or 22 – 24 Sq. Ft./Gal. (0.54 – 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 prior to opening to traffic. 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, by spreading water on the pavement. If the water does not bead, pavement is ready for seal-coating. Not recommended for steeply inclined surfaces, as they may become slippery when wet. CAUTIONS KEEP FROM FREEZING / KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN Contains REFINED COAL TAR. May cause skin irritation. Wear gloves and protective clothing. In case of contact, flush skin or eyes immediately with fresh water. If the product gets in the mouth or eyes see a physician immediately. Consult a Safety Data Sheet for details. PACKAGING & AVAILABILITY 5-Gallon plastic pails, 55-gallon drums & 275-gallon plastic totes, and bulk at all STAR plant locations.
