Star Aviator
Sealcoating for Airport Projects Based on Asphalt Emulsion
Superiority in performance
STAR AVIATOR is an outstanding sealer that is far superior to the conventional asphalt emulsion based sealers.
Our FAA formulation is delivered to the airport with the proper amount of latex and water.
You have no job-site mixing other than sand and FAA officials can rest assured that the formulation is exact.
Many contractors know that most airport projects requires sealcoating systems to meet certain performance criteria, prior to use on the project and they know the difficulty of post adding latex and still meeting water dilution requirements, materials are often too thick to apply causing 'mud cracking.'
Sealcoating professionals have been struggling with mix designs and pre-qualification tests. FAA projects have been, in general, considered bothersome with too many requirements and controls.
· STAR AVIATOR, as supplied, already contains the rubber and specialty chemicals, which impart an outstanding performance. The rubber is hot-blended during the manufacturing process.
The superiority in performance has been established in field performance on several airport projects.
Application is normal sealcoating procedures.
STAR AVIATOR Benefits:
Is a unique product with an unconventional technological approach.
Has far superior performance to the conventional asphalt emulsion based sealers.
Does not need excessive amounts of water in the mix design.
The conventional sealers, after adding rubber latex, become excessively thick and require large amounts of water for viscosity control.
Allows mix design control- Rubber is the most critical component in FAA mix designs. Factory blending of the rubber in STAR AVIATOR assures the accuracy of the mix.
Certified to meet and/ or exceed FAA specifications.
Performs better than mix designs where the rubber latex is added on the job. Has far superior performance to the conventional FAA, mix designs.
Is Cost Effectiveness & performs better than mix designs containing much higher rubber latex e.g. at 7% and 10% levels.
Savings in Labor Costs. In fewer coats - No need for special equipment, e.g. drag box, etc. - Time saved by not adding rubber on the job.
STAR AVIATOR Summary:
Mixing is hot blended at the factory, superior mixing technology means product characteristics exceeds all FAA specifications. FAA Certified by independent laboratory.
Far superior in performance than conventional mix designs where rubber is mixed on the job.
Meets and/ or exceeds airport performance tests & specifications.
Contains the required rubber and specialty chemicals which are hot blended in the sealer.
No on the job blending of rubber latex and excessive amounts of water (for viscosity control).
Minimal time needed for the preparation of the mix for the job.
No on-the-job inspection (for rubber amounts) is needed.
Pre-shipment certification may be issued by STAR.
