STAR MICRO-PAVE AVIATOR®
STAR MICRO-PAVE AVIATOR® is designed as a premium grade, Asphalt Emulsion (water based) sealcoating that is superior to other conventional mix design sealers. STAR MICRO-PAVE AVIATOR®, as supplied, contains the necessary amount of rubber similar to that specified by the FAA for airfield maintenance. The rubber is “Hot Blended” during the manufacturing process to ensure it is properly fused into the asphalt binder. Cold mixing simply does not achieve the same level of bonding to the asphalt binder particles. The superiority of STAR MICRO-PAVE AVIATOR® has been well established in the field for nearly two decades. STAR MICRO-PAVE AVIATOR® has toughness and flexibility at all temperatures as well as resistance to many chemicals and de-icing salts.

- Cure
- Heat Cure
- Dry 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.

- Recommended Uses
STAR MICRO-PAVE AVIATOR® is recommended for all airfield asphalt pavement surfaces including; runways, taxiways, fueling areas, aprons and vehicle parking lots.
- 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.
- Quality Standards
- Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Approved
- 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. Not recommended for steeply inclined surfaces, as they may become slippery when wet.
