SURE-FLEX
RUBBERIZED ASPHALT EMULSION PATCHING
COMPOUND
DESCRIPTION
STAR SURE-FLEX, RUBBERIZED
ASPHALT EMULSION PATCHING COMPOUND, is a heavy bodied patching and repair
product that was specially designed for repairing excessively cracked
asphalt surfaces. Formulated with high polymers, reinforcing fibers,
rubber, specialty chemicals and asphalt emulsion, STAR SURE-FLEX exhibits
outstanding toughness and flexibility which translates into superior
performance and longevity. It protects the pavements by stopping water
and damaging chemicals from seeping into cracks. It is ideal for repairing
cracks as well as surface imperfections (bird baths, depressions, etc.)
in ASPHALT pavements.
OUTSTANDING FEATURES
- Tough, Flexible and Durable,
it is rubberized with polymers and reinforced with specialty chemicals
and minerals.
- Cold-Pour and Ready to
use. Being asphalt emulsion based, STAR SURE-FLEX does not require any
pre-heating and is ready to use straight from the container without
extensive mixing.
- Compatible with both coal
tar and asphalt emulsion based sealers.
- Safe to apply and water
clean up. Will not burn. Tools can be easily cleaned with water.
RECOMMENDED USES
STAR SURE-FLEX is recommended
for repairing badly alligatored asphalt surfaces that would be too extensive
for crack filling. Some of the typical uses are for play areas, tennis
courts, running tracks, driveways, walkways, etc.
COVERAGE
Bird baths and other surface
depressions shall require approximately one gallon for 13 sq. feet area
with 1/8" depression.
75 - 80 linear feet per gallon
for cracks with 1/2" x 1/2" cross section. Coverage rates will vary
with varying widths and depths of cracks.
DILUTION
None required. For finer
cracks the viscosity can be slightly reduced by adding small quantity
(max. 5% by volume) of clean potable water.
APPLICATION
1. Clean dust and dirt and
backfill the cracks with sand or backer rods if deeper than 1 '. Do
not back fill cracks less than 1/2" deep. Bird baths and other imperfect
surfaces shall be primed for good adhesion with STAR ONE STEP, if they
appear oxidized and excessively gray. Asphalt emulsion (SS-1 -H), pre-mixed
with 5 volumes of water can be used alternatively for tack coat.
2. Stir the contents in the container to
re-disperse any minor separation of the material. Apply with a suitable
tool. Trowel, flexible rubber squeegee (24 - 30" width, 50 Shore durometer
hardness rubber) etc. can be used. Areas to be repaired (cracks and
depressions) shall not have any free standing water, though can be damp.
3. Allow to cure before seal coating
and / or opening to traffic. The cure time will vary according to weather
conditions. Under ideal conditions (80 deg. F. and 50% Relative Humidity),
the crack filler will cure within 4 hours to be suitable for seal coating.
PRECAUTIONS
- Do not apply if rain is
imminent within 8 hours.
- Wash tools immediately with water. Use paint thinner to
clean the tools if the material has dried and hardened.
- Do not apply if ambient and or surface temperatures are
below 50 deg. F.
- Keep from freezing.
- Do not store in direct sunlight or temps.. exceeding 100
deg. F.
