STAR LTCA Low Temperature Cure Additive
Complementing its line of high-performance additives , STAR has introduced LTCA ( Low Temperature Cure Additive ), which is designed for sealcoatings to optimally cure under cooler ambient and surface temperatures , as encountered in early spring and late fall .
When sealer is applied at cooler temperatures , binder particles , being thermoplastic , become too stiff to sufficiently fuse and knit for the formation of a good , impervious film . Sealer film formed under such conditions are likely to have micro voids ( holes ), thus prone to be attacked by water and chemicals . The specialty chemicals in LTCA plasticize and coalesce binder and polymer components in the sealer for a complete film formation . LTCA is not a fast-drying additive . Contrarily , it keeps the sealer film sufficiently open for allowing the binder particles to soften and fuse , for forming a continuous , dense film .
STAR LTCA improves the overall color , performance , and durability of sealcoatings . It is recommended for sealcoating in early spring , late fall where
the ambient conditions of temperature , humidity and dew point are generally unfavorable for sealcoating application . It will extend your sealcoating season in early spring and late fall .
STAR LTCA was released after thorough research and field trials . Please contact STAR at 800-7591-1912 and visit www . starseal . com for literature and plant locations .
