Surface Preparation Surfaces to be painted must be clean, dry, and free of dirt, dust, grease, oil, soap, wax, scaling paint, water soluble materials and mildew. Remove any peeling or scaling paint, and sand these areas to feather edges smooth with adjacent surfaces. Glossy areas should be dulled. Drywall surfaces must be free of sanding dust. Spot prime before and after filling nail holes, cracks, and other surface imperfections.

New plaster or masonry surfaces must be allowed to cure (30 days) before applying base coat. Cured plaster should be hard, have a slight sheen and maximum pH of 10; soft, porous or powdery plaster indicates improper cure.

Never sand a plaster surface; knife off any protrusions and prime plaster before and after applying patching compound. Poured or pre-cast concrete with a very smooth surface should be etched or abraded to promote adhesion, after removing all form release agents and curing compounds.

Remove any powder or loose particles.

Difficult Substrates: Benjamin Moore offers a number of specialty primers for use over difficult substrates such as bleeding woods, grease stains, crayon markings, hard glossy surfaces, galvanized metal, or other substrates where paint adhesion or stain suppression is a particular problem. Your Benjamin Moore® retailer can recommend the right problem-solving primer for your special needs.

WARNING! If you scrape, sand or remove old paint, you may release lead dust.

LEAD IS TOXIC. EXPOSURE TO LEAD DUST CAN CAUSE SERIOUS

ILLNESS, SUCH AS BRAIN DAMAGE, ESPECIALLY IN CHILDREN.

PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD ALSO AVOID EXPOSURE. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to control lead exposure. Carefully clean up with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424- LEAD or log on to www.epa.gov/lead.

Primer/Finish Systems

Regal Select is self-priming on most surfaces. On bare substrates two coats are required; previously painted surfaces can be finished with 1 or 2 coats. While the high quality of our products sometimes makes one-coat coverage achievable, Benjamin Moore recommends two coats of this product to achieve full color development and to maximize paint film performance. Special Note: Certain deep custom colors may require a Deep Base Primer tinted to a special prescription formula to achieve the desired color. Consult your retailer.

Application Mixing of Paint: Stir thoroughly before and during use. Apply one or two coats. For best results, use a premium Benjamin Moore® custom-blended nylon/polyester brush, premium Benjamin Moore® roller, or a similar product. Apply paint generously from unpainted area into wet area. This product can also be sprayed.

Thinning/Clean Up

Thinning is unnecessary, but if required to obtain desired application properties, a small amount of clean water may be added. Never add other paints or solvents. Wash painting tools in warm soapy water immediately after use. Spray equipment should be given a final rinse with mineral spirits to prevent rusting or follow state/local guidelines on solvent use.

USE COMPLETELY OR DISPOSE OF PROPERLY. Dry, empty containers may be recycled in a can recycling program. Local disposal requirements vary; consult your sanitation department or state-designated environmental agency on disposal options.

Environmental Health & Safety Information

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 CARPET

NOTE: If more than one carpet type is required for a project, a separate paragraph will be used for each carpet type. Each carpet type will be designated with a letter or number symbol. Use the same designations to key carpets to locations on the drawings and in Section 09 06 90 COLOR SCHEDULE.

ADA Requirements: Carpet must be securely attached;

have a firm cushion, or backing, or no cushion; and have a level loop, textured loop, level cut pile, or level cut/uncut pile texture. The maximum thickness should be 13 mm (1/2 in). Fasten exposed edges of carpet to floor surfaces and have trim along the entire length of the exposed edge.

Nylon fiber is typically abrasion resistant and durable in all pile configurations using filament fiber, has good stain removal characteristics, and is recommended for commercial installations.

Triexta (PTT) fiber is recommended for both commercial and residential installations. For commercial installations, triexta offers excellent durability, resiliency and crush resistance that is suited for high-traffic areas. Permanent stain resistance, bleach resistance and colorfastness built right into the fiber, make triexta carpets easy to clean and will extend the life of a commercial carpet. Residential installations will benefit from these attributes as well as softness and comfort under foot. Additionally, some triexta fibers contribute to the biobased material requirement.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) recycled polyester fiber has permanent fade resistance, is permanently colorfast, has a permanent stain resistance which is higher than other type fibers, is impervious to harsh chemicals, and has the lowest static buildup.

PET type polyester carpet, once crushed under continued high pressure, is less likely than nylon carpet to rebound. PET carpet is not recommended for severe and moderate wear level areas and should be limited to light wear areas.

Wool is a natural fiber, which is inherently flame resistant, forming a char that will neither melt nor drip. Wool is also rapidly renewable and resilient, SECTION 09 68 00 Page 10 and due to the scaly character of its fiber it scatters optical light, thus reducing soiling visibility. Wool is highly recommended for shipboard use due to it being inherently flame resistant.

Wool, cotton, jute, hemp and sisal carpets may not meet accepted performance requirements of commercial carpet. Designer must verify suitability, availability and adequate competition before specifying these products.

Flexible and modular components, like carpet tile, reduce the labor and materials costs related to operations and maintenance, churn, and future renovations.

The 2002 Farm Bill - Section 9002, Federal Procurement of Biobased Products, requires each Federal Agency to develop a procurement program which will ensure that items composed of biobased products will be purchased to the maximum extent practical and which is consistent with applicable provisions of Federal procurement law.

Continuous dye process uses two to three times less water than batch dyeing during manufacture.

Furnish first quality carpet; free of visual blemishes, streaks, poorly dyed areas, fuzzing of pile yarn, spots or stains, and other physical and manufacturing defects. Provide carpet materials and treatments as reasonably nonallergenic and free of other recognized health hazards.

Provide a static control construction on all grade carpets which gives adequate durability and performance. Submit manufacturer's catalog data and printed documentation stating physical characteristics, durability, resistance to fading, and flame resistance characteristics for each type of carpet material and installation accessory. Submit manufacturer's catalog data for 1) Carpet, 2) Carpet Cushion, and 3) Moldings. Also, submit samples of the following:

a. Carpet: [Two] [_____] "Production Quality" samples 450 by 450 mm 18 by 18 inches of each carpet proposed for use, showing quality, pattern, and color specified
