1. Masonry control joints.

2. Flooring joints.

3. Isolation joints, between structure and other elements.

4. Joints at the penetrations of walls, decks and floors by piping and other services and equipment.

1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Obtain elastomeric materials from only manufacturers who will, if required, send a qualified technical representative to the project site, for the purpose of advising the Installer of proper procedures and precautions for the use of the materials.

B. Installer: A firm with a minimum of 5 years’ successful experience in the application of the types of materials required.

1.4 SUBMITTALS

A. Manufacturer's Data, Sealants and Caulking: Submit manufacturer's specifications, recommendations, and installation instructions for each type of sealant, caulking compound and associated miscellaneous material required in accordance with Div 1, Submittals. Include manufacturer's published data, or letter of certification, or certified test laboratory report indicating that each material complies with the requirements and is intended generally for the applications shown. Show by transmittal that one copy of each recommendation and instruction has been distributed to the Installer.

B. Samples, Sealants and Caulking: Submit 3, 12" long samples of each color required (except black) for each type of sealant or caulking compound exposed to view. Install sample between two strips of material like or representative of typical surfaces where sealant or compound will be used, held apart to represent typical joint widths. Samples will be reviewed by Architect for color and texture only. Compliance with all other requirements is the exclusive responsibility of the Contractor.

C. Guarantee, Sealants: Submit in accordance with Div. 1, Submittals copies of written guarantee agreeing to repair or replace sealants which fail to perform as air-tight and water-tight joints; or fail in joint adhesion, cohesion, abrasion resistance, stain resistance, weather resistance, extrusion resistance, migration resistance, or general durability; or appear to deteriorate in any other manner not clearly specified by submitted manufacturer's data, as an inherent quality of the material for the exposure indicated.

Provide a guarantee signed by the Installer and Contractor.

D. The guarantee period is two years.

1.5 JOB CONDITIONS

A. Condition of Other Work: The Installer must examine the joint surfaces, backing, and anchorage of units forming sealant rabbet, and the conditions under which the sealant

JOINT SEALANTS 079000 - 4

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.1 JOINT SURFACE PREPARATION

A. Clean joint surfaces immediately before installation of sealant or caulking compound.

Remove dirt, insecure coatings, moisture, and other substances which would interfere with bond of sealant or caulking compound.

B. For elastomeric sealants, do not proceed with installation of sealant over joint surfaces which have been painted, lacquered, waterproofed, or treated with water repellent or other treatment or coating unless a laboratory test for durability (adhesion), in compliance with Paragraph 4.3.9 of FS TT-S-00227 has successfully demonstrated that sealant bond is not impaired by the coating or treatment. If laboratory test has not been performed, or shows bond interference, remove coating or treatment from joint surfaces before installing sealant.

C. Etch concrete and masonry joint surfaces to remove excess alkalinity unless sealant manufacturer's printed instructions indicate that alkalinity does not interfere with sealant bond and performance. Etch with 5% solution of muriatic acid; neutralize with dilute ammonia solution, rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry before sealant installation.

D. Roughen joint surfaces on vitreous coated and similar non-porous materials, wherever sealant manufacturer's data indicates lower bond strength than for porous surfaces.

Rub with fine abrasive cloth or wool to produce a dull sheen.

3.2 INSTALLATION

A. Comply with sealant manufacturer's printed instructions except where more stringent requirements are shown or specified and except where manufacturer's technical representative directs otherwise.

B. Prime or seal the joint surfaces wherever shown or recommended by the sealant manufacturer. Do not allow primer/sealer to spill or migrate onto adjoining surfaces.

C. Install sealer backer rod for liquid elastomeric sealants, except where shown to be omitted or recommended to be omitted by sealant manufacturer for the application shown.

D. Install bond backer tape wherever shown and wherever required by manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that elastomeric sealants will perform properly.

E. Employ only proven installation techniques, which will ensure that sealants will be deposited in uniform, continuous ribbons without gaps or air pockets, with complete "wetting" of the joint bond surfaces equally on opposite sides. Except as otherwise indicated, fill sealant rabbet to a slightly concave surface, slightly below adjoining surfaces. Where horizontal joints are between a horizontal surface and a vertical surface, fill joint to form a slight cove, so that joint will not trap moisture and dirt.

F. Install sealants to depths as shown or, if not shown, as recommended by the sealant manufacturer but within the following general limitations, measured at the center (thin) section of the bead.

G. For normal moving joints sealed with elastomeric sealants, but not subject to traffic, fill joints to a depth equal to 50% of joint width, but neither more than 1/2" deep nor less than 1/4" deep.

H. For joints sealed with non-elastomeric sealants and caulking compounds, fill joints to a depth in the range of 75% to 125% of joint width.

I. Spillage: Do not allow sealants or compounds to overflow or spill onto adjoining surfaces, or to migrate into the voids of adjoining surfaces including rough textures such as exposed aggregate panels. Use masking tape or other precautionary devices to

SOLICITATION NO. VEAS23046C

JOINT SEALANTS 079000 - 5

prevent staining of adjoining surfaces, by either the primer/sealer or the sealant/caulking compound.

J. Remove excess and spillage of compounds promptly as the work progresses. Clean the adjoining surfaces by whatever means may be necessary to eliminate evidence of spillage, without damage to the adjoining surfaces or finishes.

3.3 CURE AND PROTECTION

A. Cure sealants and caulking compounds in compliance with manufacturer's instructions and recommendations, to obtain high early bond strength, internal cohesive strength, and surface durability.
