  4. Slip Resistance: Static coefficient of friction shall be 0.6 for level floors and 0.8 for ramped surfaces as defined by the ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG).
  5. Testing shall be in accordance with ASTM C1028 or use of similar devices recognized by ADAAG.

1.4DELIVERY, STORAGE, AND HANDLING

  1. Deliver materials in original packages and containers, with seals unbroken, bearing manufacturer's labels indicating brand name and directions for storage and mixing with other components.
  2. Store materials to prevent deterioration from moisture, heat, cold, direct sunlight, or other detrimental effects.

1.5PROJECT CONDITIONS

  1. Environmental Limitations: Comply with resinous flooring manufacturer's written instructions for substrate temperature, ambient temperature, moisture, ventilation, and other conditions affecting resinous flooring application.
  2. Lighting: Provide permanent lighting or, if permanent lighting is not in place, simulate permanent lighting conditions during resinous flooring application.
  3. Close spaces to traffic during resinous flooring application and for not less than 24 hours after application, unless manufacturer recommends a longer period.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1PREPARATION

  1. General: Prepare and clean substrates according to resinous flooring manufacturer's written instructions for substrate indicated. Provide clean, dry, and neutral Ph substrate for resinous flooring application.
  2. Concrete Substrates: 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.
  3. Roughen concrete substrates as follows:
  4. Shot-blast surfaces with an apparatus that abrades the concrete surface, contains the dispensed shot within the apparatus, and recirculates the shot by vacuum pickup.
  5. Surface texture shall be similar to 100 grit sandpaper.
  6. Comply with ASTMC811 requirements, unless manufacturer's written instructions are more stringent.
  7. Repair damaged and deteriorated concrete according to resinous flooring manufacturer's written recommendations.
  8. Verify that concrete substrates are dry .
  9. Perform anhydrous calcium chloride test, ASTMF1869. Proceed with application only after substrates have maximum moisture-vapor-emission rate of 3 lb of water/1000 sq. ft. of slab in 24 hours.
  10. Perform plastic sheet test, ASTMD4263. Proceed with application only after testing indicates absence of moisture in substrates.
  11. Perform additional moisture tests recommended by manufacturer. Proceed with application only after substrates pass testing.
  12. Verify that concrete substrates have neutral Ph and that resinous flooring will adhere to them. Perform tests recommended by manufacturer. Proceed with application only after substrates pass testing.
  13. Resinous Materials: Mix components and prepare materials according to resinous flooring manufacturer's written instructions.
  14. Use patching and fill material to fill holes and depressions in substrates according to manufacturer's written instructions.
  15. Treat control joints and other nonmoving substrate cracks to prevent cracks from reflecting through resinous flooring according to manufacturer's written recommendations.

3.2APPLICATION

  1. General: Apply components of resinous flooring system according to manufacturer's written instructions to produce a uniform, monolithic wearing surface of thickness indicated.
  2. Coordinate application of components to provide optimum adhesion of resinous flooring system to substrate, and optimum intercoat adhesion.
  3. Cure resinous flooring components according to manufacturer's written instructions. Prevent contamination during application and curing processes.
  4. At substrate expansion and isolation joints, provide joint in resinous flooring to comply with resinous flooring manufacturer's written recommendations.
  5. Apply joint sealant to comply with manufacturer's written recommendations.
  6. Apply primer over prepared substrate at manufacturer's recommended spreading rate.
  7. Apply topcoats in number of coats indicated for flooring system and at spreading rates recommended in writing by manufacturer.

3.3CLEANING AND PROTECTING

  1. Protect resinous flooring from damage and wear during the remainder of construction period. Use protective methods and materials, including temporary covering, recommended in writing by resinous flooring manufacturer.
