STAR-SEAL SUPREME® is a premium grade asphalt pavement sealer for those discriminating jobs that demand outstanding performance & appearance year after year.

STAR-SEAL SUPREME® has an extraordinary degree of toughness & water repellency not accomplished thus far by any competitive sealer in the industry. The hot blending of catalyzed
rubber & select polymers with the refined coal tar in STAR-SEAL SUPREME® greatly enhances its toughness, flexibility at all temperatures & resistance to gasoline, oil, & chemicals.
The water repellency of the cured STAR-SEAL SUPREME® coating systems is the result of a very special blend of surface active agents which change the surface physical chemistry of the clays & make them hydrophobic.

FEDERAL SPECIFICATION RP-355e,
when tested in accordance with the following:
ASTM STANDARDS.
D 2939 - Bituminous Base Emulsions - Protective Coatings.
D 490-77 - Standard Specification for Road Tar.
D 3320-79- Standard Specification for Emulsified Coal-Tar Pitch .

APPLICATION
STAR-SEAL SUPREME® must be applied on structurally sound
pavement by professional applicators.
Coverage rates - 0.18 to 0.20 gal/sq. yard 2-coat application.
Coverage rates may vary depending upon the porosity
& texture of the pavement surface.
Aggregates Addition - Clean silica sand with an average grain
fineness between 50 - 70 shall be added for increased traction.
Method - Mechanical or spray applicators, brush or squeegee

RECOMMENDED SYSTEMS
1st coat: STAR-SEAL SUPREME® with 4-5 Ibs. of Sand per gallon.
Coverage rate: 0. 10 - 0. 12 gall*/square yard.
2nd coat: Composition same as for 1st coat.
Coverage rate: 0.09 - 0.11 gall/square yard.

CURING TIME
Will vary according to temperature & relative humidity at the time of
application. Under ideal drying conditions - 80 deg. F & 50% humidity.
*8-12 Hours between successive coats.
* 24 hours after the application of the last coat prior to opening to traffic.

WEATHER LIMITATIONS
Surface & air temperature should be a min. 50 degrees F. & rising.
Do not apply on rainy, foggy, & extremely humid days,
or when rain is in the forecast within 24 hours.

Star-Seal Asphalt Pavement Sealer's primary purpose is to
PROTECT your Asphalt. Star-Seal Asphalt Pavement Sealer
resists gas, oils, salt & chemical penetrations;
prevents the seepage of moisture from snow & rain;
stops oxidation from actinic rays in sunlight.
Drying to a Dark, Charcoal Black color, Star-Seal Asphalt Pavement
Sealer not only Beautifies & keeps pavements looking like new,
but it Enhances your Business Image & Property Values as well.

How Well Does Star-Seal Perform?
The cured films of sealcoatings frequently encounter rain, snow & sleet.
It is extremely important that these films retain
their performance properties under such conditions
& not be prematurely eroded by traffic.
The scrub resistance test has consistently proven Star-Seal to have
excellent durability under water.

Does Star-Seal Meet the ASTM Standards?...Yes...
Star-Seal Asphalt Pavement Sealer is a Heavy-Duty Refined
Coal-Tar Sealer, Manufactured to meet (ASTM) D 5727-00 Standards,
which replaces Federal Specification RP-355-e & (ASTM) D 5727-95.

A dilution rate with water of 25-40% is suggested depending on the
quality of the asphalt surface, as well as the type of
traffic it will experience. Sand should always be considered
in the mix design for application.
Star-Seal carries a variety of additives needed for the Sealer Mix.
