About this file
This document is a technical specification section (Section 09 67 13.05) for static control resinous flooring for the Additive Lab Addition at Joint Base McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst, New Jersey. The specification provides detailed requirements for installing a specialized epoxy flooring system designed for electrostatic discharge (ESD) control, with specific performance criteria for the materials. Key technical requirements include a two-part system consisting of an epoxy primer, a cured epoxy body coat, and a UV-resistant surface sealing coat. The body coat must meet stringent performance standards, including a compressive strength between 10,000-12,000 psi, Shore D hardness of 70-80, and electrical resistance between 1,000,000 and 1,000,000,000 ohms. The installation process involves careful surface preparation, precise application techniques, and specific environmental conditions, with requirements for moisture testing, temperature control, and maintaining a dust-free environment during installation.

3.1 PREPARATION
Prior to applying static control, resinous flooring material, inspect substrate and immediately report any unsatisfactory conditions that exist and repair.
Verify that the concrete substrates are dry and the moisture-vapor emissions are within acceptable levels according to the manufacturer's written instructions.
Relative Humidity Test: Use in situ probes, ASTM F2170. Proceed with installation only after substrates have a maximum 75 percent relative humidity level measurement.
3.1.1 Safety Precautions
Prior to application in confined spaces of toppings and coatings containing flammable or toxic properties, institute safety precautions recommended by the manufacturer of the product.
Erect "NO SMOKING" signs, and prohibit smoking or use of spark- or flame-producing devices within 50 feet of any mixing or placing operation involving flammable materials.
Provide the personnel required to handle, mix, or apply toppings containing toxic or flammable properties with such items of personal protective equipment and apparel for eye, skin, and respiratory protection as are recommended by the manufacturer of the product. Ensure all personnel are trained in the appropriate use and wearing of personal protection equipment.
3.1.2 Protection of Adjacent Surfaces
In addition to the protection of adjacent surfaces during installation, provide areas used to store and mix materials with a protective covering under the materials. After application of the sealer coats, protect finished flooring during the remainder of the construction period. In
SECTION 09 67 13.05 Page 6 areas of expected minimum or moderate traffic, cover floors with a 30-30-30 waterproof kraft paper, with strips taped together and edges secured to prevent roll-up. Place vegetable fiberboard, plywood, or other suitable material that does not mar the flooring over the paper to protect areas used as passages by workmen and areas subject to floor damage because of subsequent building operations. Upon completion of construction, remove the protection, clean flooring and, where necessary, repair, reseal, or both, at no additional cost to the Government.
3.1.3 Concrete Subfloor
3.1.3.1 New Concrete Floors
Do not commence installation of the floor topping until the concrete has cured a minimum of 28 calendar days. Verify that the concrete floor is straight, properly sloped, and has broom type finish. Ensure that the concrete is moist cured with burlap or polyethylene. Before applying the prime coat, clean the concrete surface by an approved method. Prepare floor as recommended by manufacturer.
3.1.4 Mixing Of Materials
Select the job mix proportions on the trial batch proportions used to prepare the floor topping samples as submitted and approved.
Use mechanical equipment for mixing of materials in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
3.2 APPLICATION
3.2.1 Areas of Application
Cover and/or mask surfaces not to receive the epoxy floor topping, such as equipment or cabinets installed prior to surface-preparation efforts and adjacent to the flooring installation.
***** AMENDMENT 0007 , 28 MAY 2025
3.2.2 Application of Prime Coat
Combine the epoxy binder components in the proportions specified by the manufacturer to form a compatible system immediately on mixing.
Ensure that the prepared subfloor surface is dry and at a temperature of not less than 60 degrees F when application of the floor topping is initiated. Immediately before application of the prime/scratch coat on the prepared surface, remove dust or other loose particles by blowing with compressed air or vacuum cleaned. Use only an air compressor equipped with an efficient oil-water trap to prevent oil contamination or wetting of surface.
Apply the epoxy body coat specified to the prepared subfloor prime coat.
Prior to application, fill cracks in the concrete per manufacturer's instructions. Provide nominal thickness of 16-22 mils.
Make provisions to maintain the work areas in a relatively dust-free environment during curing of the topping.
SECTION 09 67 13.05 Page 7
3.2.3 Sealer Coat
Apply UV resistant finish coat per manufacturer's recommendations.
Maintain topping areas in a relatively dust-free environment during curing of the sealer coats. Provide nominal thickness of 2-3 mils.
