Carbon Plex H-25 Preservation Coating Installed at John Wayne Airport

$10,000 per minute penalty is all the motivation pavement preservation crew needs to complete night runway project
runway reconstruction
The runway reconstruction specifications included the requirement for protecting 68,000 square yards of runway shoulder and aprons with a protective coating - Carbon Plex H-25 by Ecostar Science & Technology was selected.
John Wayne Airport (JWA) in Los Angeles recently completed reconstruction of its primary runway.
Because the airport is in close proximity to a neighborhood, its usually closed between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. This presented the challenge of developing and installing a protective coating that could be placed and achieve full cure within this time window, so heavy jet traffic could resume operations.

Stage Three will occur over the coming months and years, to see how well the product performs under the insult of hot jet exhaust, unspent J5 vapor, salty fog and a hot Southern California solar bake.
