Scope Of Work
The scope of the work shall be to repair and/or replace all damaged asphalt areas indicating oil penetration, required to obtain suitable base prior to cleaning, preparation, & application of two(2) coats of STAR-SEAL RefinedTar Emulsion Sealer to the entire parking areas. A third shall be applied to all heavy-traffic areas, entrance-ways, & intersections. Restriping of all existing traffic lines, arrows, symbols, letters, & speed bumps in compliance with local codes & ordinances.

Materials
The Sealcoating Material supplied by the Contractor shall consist of STAR-SEAL Refined Tar Emulsion containing not more than 50% solids, & conforming to (ASTM) D-5727-00 Specifications. The material shall be capable of application & complete coverage, by squeegee, brush, or spray, to the bituminous surface at a spreading rate of 2.0 gallons per 10 square yards in a Two Coat Application.

STAR Macroflex, a Polymeric Latex Additive shall be added to the Sealer. This additive is a Must: Its' purpose is to keep the Sealer, Water, & Sand suspended evenly. A ration of 2 - 4% of STAR Macroflex is recommended. Sand shall be clean, air dried, hard & irregular Silica Sand. Standard Sand #60/45 will be added to the Sealer at the ratio of 2-4 lbs./Gallon. Water shall be clean, not supplied from lakes or wells, within a temperature range of 50 - 80F & a 20 - 40% cut is recommended for STAR-SEAL. STAR Oil-SPOT Primer will be utilized to address any oil spots as specified. All traffic paint shall be 100% Acrylic based.

Sealcoat Application Guidelines
A two (2) coat system is required for all traffic areas,
a third (3) is required for all high traffic areas: including entrance areas, turning areas, & intersections.

The composition & order of the Mix Design is as Follows:

STAR-SEAL - 100 Gallons

Water - 40 Gallons

Macroflex - 3 Gallons

Sand - 400 Pounds

Application of Sealcoat
Coat the pavement edges first by pouring a continuous ribbon of the sealant mixture 6 to 12 inches away from the curbing & etc. & the spread carefully with a brush applicator around the carstops. Application can be by hand or machine. If by hand, a rubber squeegee should be used for the slurry coat & a brush should be used for the finish coat. The use of a mechanical, self propelled squeegee or hand spraying are both appropriate methods. Either method requires the applicator to deposit .12 gallons of Star-Seal per square yard for 1st coat & .06 gallons of STAR-SEAL per square yard for each succeeding coat. The coating shall be complete & free of pin-holes & voids. The finished surface shall present a uniform texture. Temperatures must be above 50 F with sunshine.

MOST IMPORTANT TO THE DURABILITY OF THE COATING IS THE DRYING TIME BETWEEN COATINGS & BEFORE TRAFFIC IS ALLOWED ON THE SURFACE!
NOT LESS THAN 4 - 6 HOURS BETWEEN COAT, BUT 24 HOURS IS THE PREFERRED DRYING TIME BEFORE TRAFFIC.

Pavement Marking Application
Given a sufficient amount of drying time, application of pavement markings is need to complete the job. If new lay-out, please follow submitted blueprints, as they should bring all marking up to Local, State, & Federal Code Regulations. Restriping of a previous layout should have prior approval from Property Owner, in case any changes are warranted. Application of Paint should be in accordance with Manufactures Specifications. Paint Manufacturer should advise as to application: Amount of drying time necessary to prevent bleeding, Proper Wet & Dry Mil Thickness, & proper curing time before letting traffic on it.
