Ensure all personnel are trained in the appropriate use and wearing of personal protection

SECTION 09 67 23.13 Page 6 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 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 floor topping until concrete has cured a minimum of 28 calendar days. Verify concrete floor is straight, properly sloped, and has type finish as required by flooring manufacturer. Ensure concrete is moist cured with burlap or polyethylene. Prior to applying the prime coat, clean concrete surface by an approved method.

3.1.4 Mixing Of Materials

Select 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.

Use rotating paddle-type masonry mortar mixers for pre-blending the sizes and color pigment, if any, of the aggregate and addition of the mixed epoxy resin binder. Ensure mixing times are as recommended by the materials supplier(s), provided mixing times result in homogeneous mixtures. Limit quantity of material mixed at one time to that which can be applied and finished within the working life of the mixtures. Verify temperature of materials at the time of mixing are between 65 and 85 degrees F.

3.2 EXAMINATION

a. Verification: Verify that all substrate and environmental conditions are in compliance with requirements discussed during Pre-Installation Conference.

b. Mandatory Testing of Floor Slabs:

(1) Prior to the installation of flooring, it is mandatory that all surfaces are tested for moisture content, pH, and alkalinity levels that would be detrimental to the adhesion of coating materials. For tests to be accurate, temperatures and humidity levels should be stabilized for a minimum of 72 hours. NOTE:

TESTING PERFORMED BY ANY METHOD IN UNCONDITIONED SPACES WILL NOT

YIELD CONSISTENT RESULTS.

SECTION 09 67 23.13 Page 7

(2) Employ a radio frequency moisture meter to determine that residual un-combined moisture content of concrete slab is less than five

(5) percent by weight. Conduct ASTM F2170 to record the Relative Humidity. Do not apply high performance floor coatings to floor slabs that exceed 85 percent RH content per ASTM F2170 unless otherwise approved by the material manufacturer, or unless treated using manufacturer's approved moisture vapor barrier system, at Contractor's expense. Install moisture vapor barrier system per manufacturer's written instruction.

c. Testing Activities During Resinous Coating Application:

(1) Material Sampling: Owner's representative may at any time and any number of times during resinous coating application require an independent testing agency, hired by GC with Owner's approval, to collect material samples for testing for compliance with requirements.

(a) Material samples will be taken, identified, sealed, and certified in presence of installer.

(b) Testing agency will test samples for compliance with requirements at the cost to the Owner, using applicable referenced testing procedures in addition to testing procedures listed in manufacturer's product data.

(2) If test results show applied materials do not comply with specified requirements, installer shall correct all deficiencies of coating system in a method and manner acceptable to the manufacturer's recommendations.

3.3 PREPARATION

a. General: Prepare and clean substrates in accordance with manufacturer's written instructions for substrate indicated. Provide clean, dry, and neutral pH substrate for resinous floor/wall application.

b. Concrete Floors: Provide sound concrete surfaces free of laitance, glaze, efflorescence, curing compounds, form-release agents, dust, dirt, grease, oil, and other contaminants incompatible with resinous flooring. Floor slabs shall be prepared as follows:

(1) Mechanically remove all finishes, mastics, adhesives and other compounds down to sound substrate. Demolition shall be in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations and written procedures. (Note: If during the demolition a setting bed is found beneath the existing flooring materials, manufacturer will provide written recommendation whether to remove it or leave it in place. If removal is required, installer will provide a change order to replace the setting bed with manufacturer's recommended material to provide proper sloping for drainage and to ensure proper adhesion of the specified coating system.)

(2) Profile sound surfaces for proper adhesion. For thin-film coatings and floors under 1,000 sf or with limited access:

Diamond grind to expose concrete matrix and profile concrete floor surfaces to a classification of CSP2 ( ICRI 310.2R -2013).

SECTION 09 67 23.13 Page 8

(3) For all other floor systems: Shot blast all concrete floor surfaces to a classification of CSP5 ( ICRI 310.2R -2013).

(4) Visually inspect shot blasted or grinded surfaces to make sure that profiled surfaces are free of contaminants. Areas that are stained or visually contaminated shall be treated with a 15 percent by volume solution of aqueous trisodium phosphate (TSP) or other de-greasing agent as recommended by the coatings manufacturer. Rinse and dry all floor surfaces scheduled to receive high performance floor system finish prior to commencement of resinous flooring application.

(5) Remove and legally dispose of all debris and contaminants produced by the demolition and surface preparation process. Steel media resulting from the shot blasted floor slab surface shall be removed from cracks, slab edges, construction joints, and corners by magnets, magnetic broom, air blast, vacuum, or stiff bristle broom.

3.4 APPLICATION

3.4.1 Areas of Application

Anchor plates set with the top surface at or above the finished epoxy floor level do not require coverage with this flooring material. Extend flooring under equipment, except when the equipment base is indicated to be flush against the structural floor. 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.

3.4.2 Application of Base Coat and Troweling

Combine the epoxy binder components A and B in the proportions specified by the manufacturer to form a clear compatible system immediately on mixing. Cure combined components to a clear film possessing a glossy, non-greasy surface at relative humidities less than 80 percent, having the following properties after curing 24 hours at 77 degrees F, followed by 24 hours at 125 degrees F.

Ensure 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 prior to 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 a thin roller coat of the epoxy binder specified to the prepared subfloor as a prime coat. As an aid to placing, compacting, and finishing the floor topping, form a scratch coat by sprinkling a minimum quantity of the walnut shell aggregate on the prime coat surface immediately following the prime coat application. Prior to application of the prime/scratch coat, fill cracks in the concrete, and make provisions to keep control or expansion joints open.

Place the floor topping prior to final gelling of the prime/scratch coat.

Immediately after the materials are mixed as specified, dump the mixture

SECTION 09 67 23.13 Page 9 in the placement area and spread to prolong troweling life. Screed or rough trowel placed materials to the specified thickness and then compact by the use of a smooth roller prior to finish troweling to a nominal thickness of 3/16 inch plus or minus 1/16 inch. Ensure all finished surfaces are free of ridges, hollows (bird-baths), trowel marks, and smoothness varies no more than 1/8 inch when tested with an 8-foot straightedge. Make provisions to maintain the work areas in a relatively dust-free environment during curing of the topping.

3.4.3 Sealer Coat

After the floor topping has set firmly (approximately 6 to 16 hours depending on subfloor temperature) in a relatively dust-free environment, apply two thin coats of the sealer coat, by means of brush, roller, squeegee, or notched trowel to provide a pore-free, easy-to-clean surface. At the time of sealer application, ensure the surface is dust-free. Depending on relative humidity, allow the applied sealer to cure to a tack-free condition in 2 to 4 hours. Do not apply second coat until after the initial coat has cured to a tack-free, hard film.

Maintain topping areas in a relatively dust-free environment during curing of the sealer coats.

3.4.4 Integral Cove Base

Provide a 4 inch high cove base to all wall surfaces as indicated on the Drawings. Install so as to provide a 1/2 inch radius at the juncture of the floor and the wall. Provide stainless-steel metal edge trim at the top.

3.5 CURING

a. Cure resinous flooring components according to manufacturer's written instructions. Prevent contamination during curing processes.

(1) Temperatures shall be maintained at 70 degree F - 80 degree F if at all possible.

(2) Water leaks must be prevented as they will compromise epoxy components ability to set properly - water drips may compromise or stain finishes.

(3) Steam or any airborne contamination will adversely affect curing.

3.6 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL

3.6.1 Repairing

Remove and replace damaged or unacceptable portions of completed work with new work to match adjacent surfaces at no additional cost to the Government.

3.7 ADJUSTING AND CLEANING

Clean surfaces of the new work, and adjacent surfaces soiled as a result

SECTION 09 67 23.13 Page 10 of the work. Remove all equipment, surplus materials, and rubbish associated with the work from the Site.

3.7.1 Cleaning

a. Work area shall be left clean with all trash, equipment, and leftovers removed.

b. Floor and walls may be cleaned prior to final inspection, providing complete curing has taken place. Refer to Product Data Sheets for curing information for each product. Generally, non-chlorinated detergents should be used for the first month after curing is complete.

c. For optimum coating performance and cleanability, manufacturer recommends the use of liquid soaps to prevent caking on epoxy surfaces caused by bar soaps.

3.7.2 Protection

Protection from damage and wear during the construction process is recommended. Comply with manufacturer's recommendations for protective materials and their method of application. Remove temporary protection prior to final inspection. Protection from welding, impact from heavy tools and other abuse is anticipated, the Contractor doing the work shall take extra care in protecting the floor with impact resistance and if necessary, flame resistant coverings. Removal of any temporary or protective material is not the responsibility of the Installer.
