9.1.2 CRU Color: The standard color for CRU coating shall be light gray semi-gloss (satin), or white semi-gloss, unless specifically stated differently in individual task order specifications/plans. Line markings, text, and other signs are defined in section 1000, para. 15. Tow lines and restricted area lines shall be of a higher gloss characteristic so as to contrast the rest of the floor, but retain their chemically resistant properties. Submittals are required (see AF Form 66).

9.1.3 Other Materials: All materials required to complete the contract shall be furnished by the Contractor. All coatings, chemicals, and sealants that are used shall be products that are approved by the manufacturer of the reflective coating system.

9.1.3.1 Materials for Surface Preparation: Various chemicals are used in the surface preparation of the concrete prior to the coating application, see Para 10. These include alkaline detergents for cleaning, solvents for oil and grease removal and acids for etching of the surface. These chemicals cannot go down drains and must be vacuumed and hauled off the site.

9.1.3.2 Materials for Sealing of Joints: Joint sealants shall be a solvent resistant polysulfide, polyurethane or epoxy materials and shall conform to TT-S 002227. Joint sealants shall be compatible with existing asphaltic material and must be approved by contracting officer or contracting officer’s representative (see AF Form 66).

9.1.3.3 Grit Material: Use aluminum oxide as recommended by the coating system manufacturer. Grit. Alumina grit (Nos. [36][46][54]) is preferred and must be mechanically broadcast into the wet-applied midcoat.

Note: To obtain even distribution, grit may be applied in any 0.023 square meters (36 square inches) as follows: Grit No. 36 at 250 particles; Grit No. 46 at 500 particles; Grit No. 54 at 750 particles. Grit No. 46 bleached alumina is suitable for a typical aircraft maintenance hangar floor. For a floor that is more slip resistant but will lose grit more easily in rough or even normal usage, Grit No. 36 alumina can be used. Grit No. 56 alumina can be used for a less slip resistant floor, but is easier to clean and maintain.

9.1.3.4 Striping Coatings: Traffic Markings and other Striping coatings shall be CRU coatings or moisture-cured urethane coatings. Traffic marking paints for roads or runways are not acceptable.

9.2 The concrete CRU Floor Surfacing System shall provide resistance to chemical spills no more than 7 days after application, with no effect or a limited adverse effect from exposure to: battery acids, citric or acetic acids, alkaline cleaning solutions, JP4, JP5, JP8, gasoline, aromatic solvents, and miscellaneous chemicals such as chlorine bleach, SAE #20, brake fluid, Skydrol 500B, hydraulic fluid, tire marking/staining, and ethylene glycol.

10. MATERIALS AND METHODS: All materials and methods of CRU applications shall be in strict accordance with the recommendations of the manufacturer of the products used. Complete product data on all products to be used shall be presented to the Contracting Officer or authorized representative to include a material safety data sheet or OSHA, Form 20, on solvents, thinners, etc. (see AF Form 66).

10.1 Surface Preparation: The Contractor shall thoroughly clean all surfaces to be coated before application of the coating system. The Contractor shall be responsible for correcting any damage to the concrete floor during the surface preparation. The surface preparation instructions of the manufacturer of the reflective coating system shall be followed.

10.1.1 Removal of Absorbed Contaminants: The concrete floor surface shall be made free of any curing compound, sealants, and any oil or grease or similar contaminants with solvents and surface active agents assigned to remove these contaminants. The cleaning mixture shall soak for 30 minutes before being dry vacuumed, swept, or removed by another means approved by the Contracting Officer or authorized representative. The procedure shall be repeated as often as necessary. Special attention shall be given to the expansion joints, as indicated below.

10.1.2 Preparation of Expansion Joints: CAUTION: Care shall be taken to avoid applying CRU coating directly over control/expansion joints and crack filler compounds which have not been properly prepared per manufacturer’s recommendations. When working adjacent to, or over an asphaltic expansion joint, and the sealer from the joint continues to contaminate the areas near the joint, the joint shall be removed and the joint sealer shall be replaced with a solvent resistant two-component sealer. Contaminated expansion joints that are not compatible with the CRU coating shall be removed and replaced. Any joint removed and replaced, as approved by the Contracting Officer, will be paid for by the separate contract line item for expansion joint replacement.

10.1.3 Expansion Joint Repairs: Any joints determined to need repair shall be routed out and completely cleaned. The contractor shall install new backer rod and reseal all joints.

10.1.4 Surface Repairs: After the removal of contaminants, any cracks/spalls that are approximately 1/16 inch wide and larger shall be filled with epoxy patching compounds approved by the floor coating manufacturer. This type of repair shall be paid for by the separate contract line item for spall repair. Any cracks/spalls under 1/16 inch wide shall be corrected and considered overall floor preparation. It is the desire to have a final product where the concrete is smooth and free from any floor imperfections.

10.1.5 Cleaning of Floor: The floor shall be swept and free of debris and shall be cleaned with a mechanical scrubber and a heavy duty alkaline detergent. The detergent solution shall soak for 20 minutes before final scrubbing and shall be vacuumed to remove any residue. This process shall be repeated until all floors are clean and approved by the Contracting Officer or authorized representative. All grease, oils, and other contaminants must be removed.

10.1.6 Existing Coating Removal: The present floor coating shall be removed to the specification of an on-site manufacturer’s representative or technician. The contractor shall guarantee that the floor is sufficiently clean to receive the new coating. Clean the entire substrate area of existing coat system materials so that the chosen method of coating removal will provide a floor surface that is sound, dry, free of dust, dirt, grease, paint, oil, and other foreign substances. If mechanical removal of paint is to be utilized, such removal shall not significantly alter the surface texture of the concrete. If the concrete surface texture is changed due to mechanical removal, the surface of the concrete shall be restored to its original surface texture with a compatible material designed for concrete repair. The removal equipment shall be a dry, closed-cycle with residue and abrasive vacuumed up or otherwise recycled. During removal, airborne dust, debris, or other particulate matter shall be fully contained. Equipment shall be suitable for use in sensitive areas where airborne contaminants are not acceptable.

11. COATING SYSTEM APPLICATION: The Contractor shall carefully supply the coating system in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of the reflective coating system. Apply the coating over the entire floor surface including joints. The floors must be completely dry and all masking completed to provide a sharp demarcation between coated and un-coated surfaces. Coatings shall be applied under conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of any conflicts between manufacturer instructions and the following general instructions before work begins.

11.1 Preliminaries: It shall be ascertained that there will be no interference in the coating operations from other trades, that doors operate properly for adjusting of ventilation and that applicable general instructions have been met. It shall be ascertained that the concrete is sufficiently dry for the primer application which for solvent-based coatings requires a Delmhorst moisture reading of no more than 18% using the probe and scale intended for wood. Water dispersed primers may require less drying. The floor shall be vacuumed or swept as required to provide a clean surface.

11.2 Application of Primer and Top Coats: Two component coatings shall be completely mixed prior to application and any pigmented component shall be mixed separately before the hardener, activator, catalyst, or part is added. No more materials shall be mixed than can be used in a 3-hour period. A 1-minute induction period shall be allowed before the mixing coating is applied. No thinner shall be added unless specified for a first coat. The mixed coating shall be applied with a medium nap roller or by another suitable method. All coats shall be cut fully to edges, around pipes, structural supports, conduits, and other items not to be coated. The manufacturer’s minimum recommended drying times should be observed. If any coat dries more than 24 hours before re-coating, the surface shall be buffed with No. 1 steel wool or with No. 100 sandpaper and shall be vacuumed or swept thoroughly before re-coating. Apply floor-marking striping as shown on drawings.
