SteelGuard® Seal coating is fundamental to maintaining an asphalt surface. Applying a seal coat waterproofs and protects the asphalt from tire abrasion, sun, wind and mild chemical spills. In addition, hairline cracks on the asphalt surface are sealed before they can enlarge requiring a crack filler or sealer. SteelGuard® can be easily applied to the asphalt surface by using a broom or floor squeegee. SteelGuard is non hazardous and biodegradable; it is water based. SteelGuard is premixed and available in 5 gallon pails and 54 gallon drums. The application rate is one quarter (1/4) gallon per square yard of surface.
SteelGuard® is a single package, water dispersed, polymer modified, slate and mineral filled, black, cementious asphalt coating. ADVANTAGES: May
be applied above freezing and on most damp or dry surfaces. USES: Designed
for application as a permanent, protective asphalt top coating used as
playgrounds, parking lots, industrial warehouse floors, driveways, surface
streets and highways. APPLICATION: Apply only onto a clean, dry or damp surface from which all contaminates have been removed, i.e., buildup crankcase drippings, oil spots, loose traffic paint, etc. Areas upon which a high build up of grease or loose paint exists shall be scraped, wire brushed and then torch prepared to completely eliminate the contaminate from the underlying, sound asphaltic substrate. Prior to application it is recommended that these treated areas be further prepared by surface priming with PetroGuard®. NOTE: Where surface profile restoration of divots, depressions or slightly off grade areas is desired, undiluted SteelGuard® may first be mixed with 20 mesh sand to a thick past consistency then placed into the low areas and trowel smooth. These areas should be allowed to cure prior to surfacing the balance of the project. SteelGuard® is supplied in a high viscosity, semi-past consistency. This is necessary to insure anti-settling properties. SteelGuard purchased from Fossil Works, Incorporated is diluted and ready for use. BE SURE TO THOROUGHLY MIX STEELGUARD® BEFORE USING. Do not apply this product unless sufficient weather conditions exist to assure full cure prior to being subjected to snow, rain or heavy dew. The SteelGuard® is one of the fastest curing, single package, water borne road surfacing compound available; but its curing rates are still dependent upon evaporation of the minimal quantities of water contained within the formula. The atmosphere is the ‘pump’ which must provide a lower vapor pressure differential above the surface of the uncured coating for it to condense and dry. The combined effects of five physically measurable properties: surface temperature, air temperature, sun load, wind and humidity, will determine the water removal capabilities of this atmospheric ‘pump’ at any given moment. It is recommended to apply this product at spread rates less than ¼ gallon per square yard, during daylight hours, at surface and air temperatures above 500 F (and rising) with no snow, rain or heavy dew in the forecast for at lease 24 hours. Immediately clean tools, including hoses, with cool water after application. SteelGuard® may crosslink if left standing in sun exposed spray hoses. STORAGE AND HANDLING Keep
out of reach of children. |
