STAR MACRO-DECK

CONCRETE PROTECTOR

STAR MACRO-DECK D.O.T. formulation

for application on Concrete bridge decks, superstructures, and concrete control barriers.

What destroys concrete: The irreversible effects of weathering water, deicing salts, and other elements commonly damage concrete. Deicing salts, used for roads, produce severe spalling, map cracking, crumbling and

moderate fracturing of concrete structures. Additionally, deicing salts permeate through

concrete and corrode reinforcing bars (rebars) and thus destroy the load bearing capacity of the overall concrete structure. Over time, this can lead to the

complete catastrophic structural failure.

How can concrete be protected? Concrete can be effectively protected by a specialty treatment that will stop salt penetration and reduce

concrete deterioration by other damaging elements.

What is STAR MACRO-DECK? STAR MACRO-DECK is a specialty product, which penetrates and protects concrete. It shields against any damage produced from deicing salts. It also provides a barrier against various petrochemicals and oils. STAR MACRO-DECK is water thin and is easy to apply.

How does it work? STAR MACRO-DECK is based on specialty polymers and concrete saturants. It quickly penetrates into concrete surfaces and forms a rubber matrix network inside the physical concrete structure. This rubber matrix network stops water, deicing salts, and other damaging elements.

What are the major advantages?

· Shields and protects against the irreversible effects of salt and chemical damage to concrete.

· Improves flexural and tensile strength of the concrete.
