CarbonPlex™ Liquid Sealant is filled with an
engineered hydrocarbon additive which is an asphalt derived, emulsified,
high molecular weight thermoplastic. It exhibits a high softening point,
good low temperature ductility and excellent hydrolytic stability to a broad
range of emulsion systems including; (trackless) tack coats, fog seals and
seal coats.
For the past several years industry applicators and property owners
recognizing the inherent health problems associated with coal tar based
sealers have searched for a more user friendly, qualified replacement. In
addition to the industry, public agencies are aware of the cancer causing
ingredients commonly identified as Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s**)
and have gone as far as to ban the use of such products containing these
chemical compounds, as found by the U.S. Geological Survey’s 20 year study,
to be contaminating local watersheds. Can there be a sealer free of such
harmful ingredients?
Yes! Recently, a CarbonPlex HB (Hard Base) sealant was formulated to
eliminate PAH’s within it’s chemical make-up while proving to maintain or
improve characteristics versus that of a coal tar sealant (FAA fuel
resistance, scrub test longevity). Initial independent lab testing of
this formulation displayed no detectable PAH’s!
**PAH’s are toxic to humans and other mammals, birds, fish, amphibians,
invertebrates and plants, according to the
U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.

CarbonPlex Advantages:
 |
Excellent substrate wet-out assures infill
and sealing of micro capillary surfaces |
|
NO Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons
(PAHs) |
|
Chemical resistance, rate of cure, final
surface hardness and skid characteristics can be modified to meet a
variety of specifications |
|
Fog coat applications of binder emulsion
cures in as little as five minutes, in sunny conditions, to a track
free surface |
|
High molecular weight (HMW) raises
cohesive strength at all temperatures; with much improved abrasion
resistance |
|
Very high softening point for some
applications (>200ºF) |
|
Improved ductility in cold climate |
|
Rapid rise in early green strength |
|
HMW binder passes kerosene resistance
test, making sealants useful for airports and fueling ramps |
|
HMW binder much more UV/Infrared resistant
for longer lasting black surface |
|
Cured adhesive and sealant films are
highly water resistant immediately after “breaking”, even under
nighttime cure conditions and high humidities |
|
Safe to handle and store |
|
Not DOT regulated |
|
Easy clean up with water |
|
Cured container residue safe for municipal
landfill |
