STAR MACRO-DECK D.O.T. formulation for application on:
- Concrete bridge decks
- Superstructures
- 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.
that will stop salt penetration and reduce concrete deterioration by other damaging elements.
What is STAR MACRO-DECK? It 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.

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.
