Floor areas inaccessible to the mobile blast machines shall be mechanically abraded to the <br />same degree of cleanliness, soundness and profile using diamond grinders, needle guns, bush <br />hammers, or other suitable equipment. <br /> c. Where the perimeter of the substrate to be coated is not adjacent to a wall or curb, a minimum <br />1/4 inch <br /> key cut shall be made to properly seat the system, providing a smooth transition between <br />areas. The <br /> detail cut shall also apply to drain perimeters and expansion joint edges. <br /> d. Cracks and joints (non-moving) greater than 1/8 inch wide are to be chiseled or chipped-out <br />and repaired per manufacturer’s recommendations. <br /> 4. At spalled or worn areas, mechanically remove loose or delaminated concrete to a sound concrete <br />and <br /> patch per manufactures recommendations. <br /> <br />3.3 APPLICATION <br /> <br />A. General <br /> <br /> 1. The system shall be applied in five distinct steps as listed below: <br /> a. Substrate preparation <br />b. Topping/overlay application with quartz aggregate broadcast. <br />c. Resin application with quartz aggregate broadcast. <br />d. Topcoat application <br />e. Second topcoat application. <br /> 2. Immediately prior to the application of any component of the system, the surface shall be dry and <br />any remaining dust or loose particles shall be removed using a vacuum or clean, dry, oil-free <br />compressed air. <br /> 3. The handling, mixing and addition of components shall be performed in a safe manner to achieve <br />the desired results in accordance with the Manufacturer's recommendations. <br /> 4. The system shall follow the contour of the substrate unless pitching or other leveling work has <br />been specified by the Architect. <br /> 5. A neat finish with well-defined boundaries and straight edges shall be provided by the Applicator. <br /> <br /> <br /> B. Topping <br /> <br /> 1. The topping shall be applied as a self-leveling system as specified by the Architect. The topping <br />shall be applied in one lift with a nominal thickness of 1/8 inch. <br /> 2. The topping shall be comprised of three components, a resin, hardener and filler as supplied by <br />the Manufacturer. <br /> 3. The hardener shall be added to the resin and thoroughly dispersed by suitably approved <br />mechanical means. SL Aggregate shall then be added to the catalyzed mixture and mixed in a <br />manner to achieve a homogenous blend. <br />4. The topping shall be applied over horizontal surfaces using ½ inch “v” notched squeegee, trowels <br />or other systems approved by the Manufacturer. <br />5. Immediately upon placing, the topping shall be degassed with a loop roller. <br /> 6. Quartz aggregate shall be broadcast to excess into the wet material at the rate of 0.8 lbs/sf. <br />7. Allow material to fully cure. Vacuum, sweep and/or blow to remove all loose aggregate. <br /> <br /> C. Broadcast <br /> <br /> 1. The broadcast coat resin shall be applied at the rate of 90 sf/gal (Q28) or 50 sf/gal (Q11). <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 775B89AF-3514-4D9E-B148-2FDE4EFF16C2
