preparation, application, temperature, re-coat times, and product limitations.
B.
The Contractor shall review product health and safety precautions listed by the
manufacturer.
C.
The Contractor shall be responsible for enforcing on site health and safety requirements
associated with the Work.
D.
Ensure that surfaces to receive coating are dry immediately prior to application.
E.
Ensure that moisture-retaining substrates to receive coating have moisture content within
tolerances allowed by coating manufacturer.
F.
Examine surfaces to receive coatings for surface imperfections and contaminants that could
impair performance or appearance of coatings.
G.
Correct conditions that could impair performance or appearance of coatings in accordance
with specified surface preparation procedures before proceeding with coating application.
SURFACE PREPARATION
09980-9
3.3
3.4
A.
All cleaning and surface preparations specified herein are minimums.
B.
All surfaces to be coated shall be free of cracks, pits, fins, projections, or other imperfections
that would interfere with the formation of a uniform, unbroken coating film.
C.
All oil and grease shall be completely removed with biodegradable degreasers prior to
mechanical cleaning begins.
D.
New concrete shall have cured for a minimum 30 days prior to coating application. If a cure
and seal agent was added to the concrete or applied after initial cure, the concrete must be
abrasive blast cleaned or mechanically abraded to remove the sealer and expose fresh
concrete.
E.
Concrete surfaces shall be acid etched, mechanically abraded, or abrasive blast cleaned to
remove all laitance to provide a uniform surface profile with a profile depth of 1 1/2 - 3 mils or
CSP Level 3.
F.
The coating contractor is to examine the substrate to determine if it is in satisfactory
condition to receive the specified floor system. Obtain coating contractor's written report
listing conditions detrimental to performance of work in this specification. Do not proceed
with the application of specified floor coating until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected.
MIXING AND THINNING
A.
