About ICRI Guide], ina" == Prddoucers of this Guideline
The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI)
was founded to improve the durability of concrete
repair and enhance its value for structure owners.
The identification, development, andpromotion of
the most promising methods and materials are
primary vehicles for. accelerating advances in
repair technology. Working through a variety of
forums, ICRI members have the opportunity to
address these issues and to directly contribute to
improving the practice of concrete repair.
A principal component of this effort is to make
carefullyselected information on important repair
subjects readily accessible to decision makers.
During the past several decades, much has been
reported in the literature on concrete repair
methods and materials as they have been developed
and refined Nevertheless, it has been difficult to
find critically'reviewed information on the state of .
the art condensed into easy -to -use formats.
To that end, ICRI guidelines are prepared by
sanctioned task groups and approved by the ICRI .
Technical Activities Committee. Each guideline is
designed to address a speck area of practice
recognized as essential to the achievement of
durable repairs. A1IICRI guideline documents are,
subject to continual review by the membership and
may be revised as approved by the Technical
Activities Committee.

3.0 Exposure of

The practice of completely removing the concrete
(undercutting) from around the corroded
reinforcement, no matter what degree of corrosion
is found, is key to achieving long-term performance
of surface repairs. In most cases, complete
removal" Qf the concrete from around the
reinforcing steel is the best practice, where

chemical environment around the -reih orcirig-
steel. If noncorroded reinforcing steel is exposed
and the concrete is chloride contaminated,
removal of the concrete around the reinforcing
should occur or other corrosion -reducing means
should be considered. Reinforcing steel partially
embedded in chloride -contaminated concrete is
susceptible to future accelerated corrosion.
If, for structural reasons, the concrete cannot
be completely removed from around the corroded
reinforcing steel or if a corrosion inhibiting
system is not used, the repair may be compromised
due to continued corrosion. If there is a potential
trade-off between durability and structural
capacity, structural capacity should always take
priority. When reinforcing steel is not fully
exposed through the concrete removal and
preparation process, alternative corrosion inhib-
iting systems should be considered. These_
systems may include use of corrosion inhibitors,.
sacrificial anodes, or cathodic protection.
4.0 Anodic n ionn
(Halo) Effect
The existing concrete surrounding a repair area
in chloride -contaminated or low pH reinforced
concrete is susceptible to accelerated corrosion.
This is due to the electrical potential differential
between the chloride contaminated or low pH
existing concrete and the chloride -free or
high pH repair material. This anodic ring effect
:canres.iilt in accelerated corrosion of the
°siffrouniing reinforcing steel leading to future
concrete deterioration. To assess existing concrete
conditions beyond the repair area, chloride
content and pH of the concrete at the level of the
reinforcing steel should be determined. Where
the chloride content exceeds the threshold level
for the initiation of corrosion or where the
reinforcing steel is susceptible to corrosion as a
result of carbonation, a corrosion inhibiting
system should be considered to minimize future
corrosion. Other measures may also be considered,
such as the application of sealers and coatings, to
slow the corrosion process. In severely chloride -
contaminated or carbonated concrete, the
complete removal and replacement of the
contaminated concrete at and beyond the repair
area may be necessary to provide a successful
long-term repair.
5.0 Removal
Geometry , ,
Examples of the removal geometry for several
different types of reinforced concrete elements
are shown in Fig. 5.1 through 5.6. Repairs may
be located on horizontal, vertical, and/or overhead
surfaces. The removal in Fig. 5.5 and 5.6 is for
columns where the removal will not affect the
structural capacity of the column. Removal of
concrete within the reinforcing or to expose. the
reinforcing (concrete in compression) is a special
condition and is discussed in Section 10.

Deteriorated and delaminated concrete should be
located and marked prior to starting the removal
process. Delaminated concrete can be located using
sounding or other suitable techniques. The repair
area should extend a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm)
beyond the actual delaminated concrete. Note that
during concrete removal, repair areas can grow
in size beyond the areas identified due to incipient
delaminations that are not readily identifiable
by sounding. Repair configurations should be
kept as simple as possible, preferably square or
rectangular with square corners (Fig. 6.1). This may
result in the removal of sound concrete. Reentrant
corners should be minimized or avoided, as they
are susceptible to cracking.

7.2 Preparation of the
Repair Perimeter
The perimeter of the repair area should be saw
cut 0.75 in. (19 mm) deep to provide a vertical
edge (Fig. 7.2) for the repair material. This will
avoid featheredging of the repair material.
Depending on the repair material selected, the
depth of the existing reinforcing and the
manufacturer's recommendations, a saw cut depth
less than 0.75 in. (19 mm) deep may be sufficient.
Care should be taken to avoid cutting the existing
reinforcing steel.
7.3 Cleaning of the
Concrete Surface and
Reinforcing Steel
The use of high -impact, mechanical methods to
remove deteriorated concrete will result in a
surface layer weakened by interconnected micro -
cracks in the concrete substrate. The fractured
(bruised) layer can extend to a depth of 0.125 to
0.375 in. (3 to 10 mm) into the resultant concrete
substrate and may result in reduced bond strength.

should be recleaned as previously described.
To verify the adequacy of the prepared
concrete surface and completeness of bond -
inhibiting material removal, a tensile pullofftest
(ICRI Technical Guideline No. 210.3 2004 or
ASTM C1583) should be considered to evaluate
the bond strength, capacity and tensile strength of
the existing concrete substrate. This test may also
'be performed after the repair is complete. The
pulloff strength requirement should be established
by the engineer and included as a performance
specification for the repair.

Undercutting of reinforcement is a beSY-prdctide
in tensile zones of concrete. In columns, the
primary loading condition is compression. From
a design perspective, the concrete section
contained within the reinforcing cage is considered
to carry the compressive loads (Fig. 10.1). The
concrete outside ofthe reinforcement is considered
as protective concrete cover for fire and corrosion
protection of the reinforcement. Removing the
concrete within the column reinforcing steel
(Fig. 10.2) can greatly increase the compressive,
stress in the reinforcing steel and the remaining
concrete. Upon concrete removal, compressive
load paths redistribute around the repair
(deteriorated) sections.(Fig.10.3). Depending on
the size of the concrete removal area behind the
column steel, buckling of the column vertical.
reinforcing bars can occur. In the majority of
cases, shoring systems will not unload the
.compressive stress in the column section.
When new repair material is placed in the
prepared area, the new material cures and most
materials undergo drying shrinkage, which results
in the new material being put into a tensile stress
state. The new material will not carry compressive
loads until the original concrete compresses fiurther,
forcing the repair material into compression. If
further compression is beyond the capacity of the
existing concrete, failure of the column may
occur. This key concept affects the concrete
preparations process. In normal concrete repair
(other than columns), removal of the concrete
surrounding the corroding reinforcement (also
known as undercutting) is a normal and necessary
process to provide for a long -tern durable repair.
To remove concrete around vertical reinforcing
steel in a column (removing concrete inside the
reinforcing bar cage) can cause the remaining
concrete and/or reinforcement in the column to
become overstressed. From a structural point of
view, this condition may not be desirable. If
concrete is to be removed inside the reinforcement
cage, a qualified structural engineer should
determine the impact of the repair on potential
reinforcement buckling and overall structural
capacity of the column. Note that the discussion
in this section is also applicable in concept to
compression zone portions of other structural
members such as beams, slabs, and walls (with
or without compression reinforcement) where
on -going compressive stress exists and where
adequate shoring cannot be installed prior to
repairs to prevent displacements and corresponding
stress redistributions during repairs.

How to Use
Substrate Concrete, mortar, and masonry products.
Surface Preparation Concrete: Remove all deteriorated concrete, dirt, oil, grease, and all bond -inhibiting materials
from surface. Be sure repair area is not less than 1 in. in depth. Preparation work should be
done by high pressure water blast, scabbler, or other appropriate mechanical means to obtain
an expos.6d.a6gregatesurf6ce;with a minimum surface profile of t1/8 in. (CSP-7). Saturate
surface with clean water.''Substrate should be saturated surface dry (SSD) with no standing
water during application.
Reinforcing Steel: Steel reinforcement should be thoroughly prepared by mechanical cleaning
to remove all traces of rust. Where corrosion has occurred due to the presence of chlorides, the
steel should be high-pressure washed with clean water after mechanical cleaning. For priming of
reinforcing steel use SikeArmate& 110 EpoCem (consult Technical -Data Sheet).
Priming For priming of reinforcing steel use Sika®ArmatecP 110 EpoCem (consult Technical Data Sheet).
Mixing Place 4/5 of 1 gallon water in mixing container. Add Sikacrete® 211 while continuing to mix.
Add additional water up to 1 gallon total. Mix to a uniform consistency, maximum 3 minutes.
Mechanically mixwith a low -speed drill (400-600 rpm) and paddle or in appropriate size mortar
mixer or concrete mixer.
Application Form and pour or pump applications: Pre -wet surface to SSD. Ensure good intimate con-
tact with the substrate is achieved. To accomplish this, material should be scrubbed into the
substrate or other suitable means should be employed such as vibration of the material or
pumping under pressure. Vibrate form while pouring or pumping. Pump with a variable pres-
sure pump. Continue pumping until a 3 to 5 psi increase in normal line pressure is evident
then STOP pumping. Form should not deflect. Vent to be capped when steady flow is evident,
and forms stripped when appropriate.
Tooling & finishing As per ACI recommendations for portland cement concrete, curing is required. Moist cure
with wet burlap and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or a water based" compatible curing
compound. Curing compounds adversely affect the adhesion of following layers of mortar,
leveling mortar or protective coatings. Moist curing should commence immediately after fin-
ishing. Protect newly applied material from direct sunlight, wind, rain and frost.
*Pretesting of curing compound is recommended.
Limitations ■ Application thickness: Minimum 1 in. (25 mm); Maximum 8 in. (200 mm)
■ Minimum ambient and surface temperatures 450F (7°C) and rising at time of application.
■ Using SikaLatex®, SikaLatex® R or similar products will result in loss of slump and slump
retention. Field tests for suitability are strongly recommended.

Concrete, mortar, and masonry products.
Iparation Concrete/Mortar: Remove all deteriorated concrete, dirt, oil, grease, and all bond -inhibiting materials from
surface. Be sure repair area is not less than 1/8 inch in depth. Preparation work should be done by high pres-
sure water blast, scabbler, or other appropriate mechanical means to obtain an exposed aggregate surface
With a miniritrrhSufface.profile-of't1./16tn: (CSP-5) Saturate surface with clean water. Substrate should be
saturated surface dry (SSD) with no standing water during application.
Reinforcing:4teel: Steel reinforcement should be thoroughly prepared by mechanical cleaning to remove all
traces of rust. Where corrosion has occurred due to the presence of chlorides, the steel should be high-pressure
washed with clean water after mechanical cleaning. For priming of reinforcing steel use Sika® Armate& 110
EpoCem (consult Technical Data Sheet).
Concrete Substrate: Prime the prepared substrate with a brush or sprayed applied coat of Sika® Armatec
®110 EpoCem{consult Technical Data Sheet). Alternately, a scrub coat of Sika Top 123 can be applied prior
to placement of the mortar. The repair mortar has to be applied into the wet scrub coat before it dries.
Pour Component'A into mixing container. Add Component'B'while mixing continuously. Mix mechanically With
a low -speed drill (400 - 600 rpm) and mixing paddle or mortar mixer. Mix to a uniform consistency, maximum 3
minutes. Manual mixing can be tolerated only for less than a full unit. Thorough mixing and proper proportion-
ing of the two components is necessary.
SikaTop® 1:23 PLUS must be scrubbed into the substrate, filling all pores and voids. Force material against
edge of repair, working toward center. After filling repair, consolidate, then screed. Material may be applied in
multiple lifts. The thickness of each lift, not to be less than 1/8 inch minimum or more than 1.5 inches maximum.
Where multiple -lifts are required score top surface of each lift to produce a roughened surface for next lift. Allow
preceding lift to reach final set, 30 minutes minimum, before applying fresh material. Saturate surface of the
lift with clean Water'. Scrub fresh mortar into preceding lift. Allow mortar or concrete to set to desired stiffness,
then finish with wood or sponge float for a smooth surface.
inishing As per ACI recommendations for portland cement concrete, curing is required. Moist cure with wet burlap
and polyethylene, a fine mist of water or a water based, compatible curing compound. Curing compounds
adversely- affect th'P adhesion of following lifts of mortar, leveling mortar or protective coatings. Moist curing
should commencei.mmediately after finishing. If necessary protect newly applied material from direct sunlight,
Wind, rain and frost.
*Pretesting of curing compound is recommended.
■ Applicationthic�ness: Minimum 1/8 inch (3 mm). Maximum in one lift -1.5 in. (38 mm).
■ Minimum ambient and surface temperatures 45"F (7°C) and rising at time of application.
in Do not Use solvent -based curing compound.
■ Size, shape and depth of repair must be carefully considered and consistent with practices recommended
by ACI. For additional information, contact Technical Service.
in For additional information on substrate preparation, referto ICRI Guideline No.03732 Coatings, and Polymer
Overlays".
■ If aggressivemeans of substrate preparation is employed, substrate strength should be tested in accordance
With ACI 6..03 ARpendix A prior to the repair application.
■ As with alinement based materials, avoid Contact with aluminum to prevent adverse chemical reaction and
possible -product failure. Insulate potential areas of contact by coating aluminum bars, rails, posts etc. with
an appropriate epoxy such as SikadurO Hi -Mod 32.

Sika FerroGard 003
Sika Ferra air O 903.
Penetrating, corresisn inhibiting, impregnation
coating for hardenied concrete
How It Works
Sika FerroGard 903 is a corrosion inhibiting impregnation coating for hardened concrete surfaces. It is
designed to penetrate the surface and then to diffuse in vapor or liquid form to the steel reinforcing bars
embedded in -the concrete. Sika FerroGard 963 forms a protective layer on the steel surface which inhibits
corrosion caused by the presence of chlorides as well as by carbonation of concrete.
Sika FerroGard 903 is a combination of amino alcohols, and organic and inorganic inhibitors that protects
both the anodic and cathodic parts of the corrosion cell. This dual action effect dramatically delays the initia--
tion of corrosion and greatly reduces the overall corrosion activity. • .
Sika FerroGard 903 protects the embedded steel by depositing a physical barrier in the form of a protective
layer on the surface of the steel reinforcement -This barrier inhibits corrosion of the steel.
Where to use
Sika FerroGard 903 Is recommended for all steel -reinforced, prestressed, precast, post tensioned or marine
concrete. Use of Sika FerroGard 903:
■ Steel-reinforcedconcrete, bridges and highways exposed to corrosive environments (deicing salts, weathering)
■ Building faeades and balconies
■ Steel -reinforced concrete in or near a marine environment
■ Parking garages
■ Piers, piles, and concrete dock structures
■ As part of SiM% system approach for buildings and civil engineering structures
Advantages
Sika FerroGard .903 offers owners, specifiers, port authorities, DOTS, and engineers, a new technology in
corrosion inhibition that can easily be applied to the surface of existing concrete to extend the service life of
any reinforcedconcrete structure.
■ Protects against the harmful effects of corrosion by penetrating the surface of even the most dense con-
crete andA&, sing to the steel to inhibit corrosion.
■ Enhances=the durability of reinforced concrete.
■ Does not require concrete removal.
■ Environmentally sound.
■ Does noVeentain calcium nitrite.
■ Easily applied by either spray or roller to all existing reinforced concrete.
■ Can be:applied to reinforced concrete that already exhibits corrosion.
■ Adds adjtonal benefits when used prior to protective coatings in concrete restoration systems.
■ Water tSas, for easy handling and application.
■ Not a vap;q barrier; allows vapor diffusion.
■ Ferro6ardlas been proven effective in both laboratory (ASTM G109/Cracked Beams) and field analysis.
■ ANSI/NSE'Standard 61 potable water approved
Coverage
For normal concrete, application is 200 ft 2/gal. each coat. A minimum of two coats is always recommended.
For dense=concrete, application may exceed 300 ft?/gal. Therefore, more than two coats may be required
to achieve4hie,total application rate: 100 ft.'/gal.
Packaging
5 gallon pails with spout, 55 gallon drums.
How to Use
Surface Preparation
Before apply kj4ka FerroGard 903 be sure the surface is clean and sound. Remove all dirt, dust, oil,
grease, effioi'escence or existing coatings from concrete surface by steam cleaning, waterblasting or slightly
sandblasting. Allow concrete surface to dry prior to application of Sika FerroGard. 903. The dryer the surface -
the better the: penetration and effectiveness.

Sika FerroGard 903 is applied by roller, brush or spray on concrete surfaces. When spraying, use a conven-
tional airless spray system or hand -pressure equipment. A minimum of two coats Is always recommend-
ed. Dense substrates may require more coats. Waiting time between coats of Sika FerroGard 903 is at least
1 hour. Allow a minimum of one day to allow Sika FerroGard 903 to dry and penetrate.
When Sika FerroGard 903 is used prior to the application of a repair mortar, concrete overlay, protective
coating, Sikafloor system or any other application, care must be taken to remove any residue remaining on
the surface from the application of Sika FerroGard 903. Clean the substrate in such a manner (i.e. push the
water in one direction away and off from the surface to be overcoated) to completely remove any residue.
Horizontalcsurfaces require pressure washing (2,000 psi minimum) to remove the residue. Vertical surfaces
may be rinsed!with water or pressure washed. The use of Sika Armatec 110 EpoCem as a bonding agent
prior to the application of repair mortars or concrete overlays is suggested. Drying times depend on envi-
ronmental-coi ditions, absorbency of the substrate and maximum recommended moisture content for the
subsequently applied system.
■ Minimum arhtiient and substrate temperatures 35°F.
■ Do not-applywhen temperature is expected to fall below 35°F within 12 hours.
■ If the applied surfaces will be submerged after the application of Sika FerroGard 903, a waterproofing
coating must be applied prior to submersion.
■ Substrate should be as dry as possible prior to the application.
■ Protectglass, wood, brick, galvanized steel, copper and exposed aluminum during the application.
■ M'aximu, Mchlodde Content of concrete structures intended to be treated with Sika FerroGard 903 is 6 Ibs./y3
(measured�at the level of the reinforcing steel). For levels up to 10 lbs./y3, consult technical service.
Irritant - Skin and eye irritant. Vapors may cause respiratory tract irritation. Use only with adequate ventila-
tion. Use of safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves is recommended. Remove contaminated cloth-
ing.
In case of skin. Contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. For eye contact, flush immediately with plenty
of water for atleast 15 minutes; contact physician immediately. For respiratory problems, remove person to
fresh air. Wash clothing before re -use.
In case of•spiils or leaks, wear suitable protective equipment, contain spill, collect with absorbent material,
and transferto a suitable container. Ventilate area. Avoid contact. Dispose of in accordance with current,
appiicable'locai, state, and federal regulations.

Product Data Sheet
Edition 5.3.2011 .
.Sikagard 701 W
Sikagard.O 7,'4k 11W
Solvent -free, silaxain�e emulsion concentrate
Description
Sikagard 701W is a solvent -free concentrate of silane modified siloxane emulsion. When di-
' luted, theoliquid forms a water and chloride -ion repellent impregnation specifically formulated
to sear absorbent cementitious surfaces and other masonry substrates.
Where to Use
■ When diluted, use Sikagard 701 W as a colorless, non -vapor -barrier, water and chloride
ion -repellent impregnation for absorbent materials.
■ Treat concrete bridges, roadways, runways, parapet walls, precast, beams, columns,
curbing, retaining walls, pavers, etc.
■ Treat both new and existing structures.
■ Treat masonry brickwork, stucco, etc.
■ Porous architectural curtainwall panels.
■ Use on steel -reinforced structures to reduce the corrosion and latent damage potential of
chlorides.
Advantages
Sikagard 701 W is both an economical and simple -to -use sealer. Because of its unique
ability to decrease water and chloride intrusion, Sikagard 701 W helps reduce the danger of
rebar corrosion.
Sikagard 701 W
■ Meets4h. estandards of acceptability for concrete sealers established in NCHRP Report#244.
■ Enhances concrete integrity.
■ Reduces efflorescence.
■ Improves resistance to frost and deicing salts (chloride ion).
■ Reduces dirt penetration.
■ Doesnot act as a vapor barrier.
■ May be. applied to alkaline substrates.
Willt notdegrade under UV exposure.
Coverage
100-250 sq. ft./gal., (diluted concentrate) depending on porosity of substrate. For proven
results against chloride -ion intrusion, 125 sq. ft./gal. is recommended.
Packaging
5 gal. pail.
A300
How to Use
Surface Preparation Before applying Sikagard 701 W, be sure surface is clean and sound. The best impregna-
tion is achieved on a dry, very absorbent substrate. Remove all grease, curing compounds,
surface treatments, coating, oils, etc.
Preparation Work: Concrete. and masonry surfaces, sandblast, high pressure water blast or
use other nechanicai means.``
Mixing Dilute Sikagard 701 W concentrate with tap water in an appropriately sized mixing container.
Mix with a low speed (400-600 rpm) drill with Sika paddle or comparable drum mixer until
uniformly blended. Make sure paddle is completely covered so as not to entrain air. For best
results, Sikagard 701 W should be remixed if unused 24 hours after blending with water.
Application Apply by roller, brush (horizontal surfaces), or spray. Any pooling of water repellent indicates
overdosing on a dense substrate while rapid absorption indicates a porous substrate. Varia-
tions in concentration down to 8:1 for dense substrates or coverage area, and/or multiple
wet -on -wet applications for porous substrates may be utilized to achieve optimal substrate
treatment. Preliminary site test application is recommended to determine effective coverage
and performance. Maximum water repellency is generally realized in 72 hours, but may
take longer depending on surface and atmospheric conditions.
Limitations ■ Adjacent surfaces such -as window frames, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, etc., must be -
masked before application.
■ Do not -apply at a temperature below 40°F.
■ Do not: apply when substrate temperature exceeds 120°F.
■ Material is not recommended for below -grade waterproofing.
■ Do not -apply through standing water.
■ Material is not intended to seal visible cracks or crevices from moisture intrusion.
■ Material is not intended for waterproofing under hydrostatic pressure.
■ Performance and penetration depth are dependent upon the surface composition.
■ Do not use on green concrete.
■ When overcoating: an on -site adhesion test is essential to determine actual compatibility.
■ Sikagard 701 W is not a carbonation barrier.
Caution
Warning
Irritant, May cause skin/eye/respiratory irritation. Avoid prolonged contact. Use of safety
goggle&and chemical resistant gloves is recommended. In case of PELs are exceeded, use
an appropriate, properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator. Remove contaminated clothing.
First Aid
In case of -skin contact, wash immediately and thoroughly with soap and water. If symp-
tomspersist, consult a physician. For respiratory problems, remove person to fresh air; if
Symptoms persist, contact a physician. In case of ingestion, dilute with water and consult a
physician. Remove contaminated clothing.
Clean Up
In case of spills or leaks, wear suitable protective equipment, contain spill, collect with absor-
bent material, and transfer to suitable container. Ventilate area. Avoid contact. Dispose of
in accordance with current, applicable local, state, and federal regulations. Uncured material
can be removed with water.

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 EXAMINATION
A. Concrete: Verify that the work done under other sections
meets the following requirements:
1. That the concrete deck surface is free of ridges and
sharp projections. If metal forms or decks are used
they should be ventilated to permit adequate drying
of concrete.
2. That the concrete was cured for a minimum of 28
days.(Minimum of 3,000 psi compressive strength).
Water -cured treatment of concrete is preferred. The
use of concrete curing agents, if any, shall be of the
sodium silicate base only; others require written
approval by NEOGARD®. r
3. That the concrete was finished by a power or hand
steel trowel followed by soft hair broom to obtain
light texture or "sidewalk" finish.
4. Thatdamaged areas ofthe concrete deckbe restored
to match adjacent areas. Use 70714170715-09 clear
100% solids epoxy and. sand for filling and leveling.
3.2 PREPARATION
A. Cleaning: Surfaces contaminated with oil or grease shall
be vigorously scrubbed with a stiff bristle broom and
a strong non-sudsing detergent such as NEOGARDO
8600 BioDegradable Cleaner. Thoroughly wash,
clean, and dry. Areas where oil or other contaminants
penetrate deep into the concrete may require removal
by mechanical methods.
B. Shot -Blasting: Required surface preparation method
for remedial construction is also the preferred method
for new construction. Mechanically prepare surface by
shot-blastingto industry standard surfacetexture (ICRI's
CSP3-CSP4) without causing additional surface defects
in substrate. Shot-blasting does not remove deep
penetrating oils, grease, tar or asphalt stains. Proper
cleaning procedures should be followed to ensure proper
04-15-14 07 1813-2 Pedestrian Traffic Coatings
bonding of the deck coating.
C. AltematetoShot-Blasting:lfshot-blastingis�notpracticd,
hydro blasting using minimum 4,000 psi at within 6"
of substrate is acceptable." Propercleaningprocedures
,;must be followed to ensure proper bonding: of the deck
coating.
D. Cracks and Cold Joints: Visible hairline cracks (less
than 1 /16" in width) in concrete and cold joints shall be
cleaned, primed as required and treatedwiththoroughly
mixed FC7500/FC7960 base coat material minimum
distance of 2" on each side of crack to yield a total
thickness of 30 dry mils. Large cracks (greater than
1/16" in width) shall be routed and sealed with 70991
or 70995 sealant. Sealant shall be applied to inside
area of crack only, not applied to deck surface. Detail
sealed cracks with thoroughly mined FC75001FC7960
base coat material a distance of 2" on each side of
crack to yield a total thickness of 30 dry mils.
E. Control Joints: Seal control joints equal to or less than
1" in width with 70995 urethane sealant. Depending
on the width to depth ratio of the joint, backing material
and a bond breaker may be required. Install sealants
in accordance with ASTM C 11 93'and manufacturer's
instructions. Detail sealed joints with thoroughly mixed
FC7500/FC7960 base coat material a distance of 2" on
each side of joint to yield a total thickness of 30 dry mils.
F. Flashing Tape: Install 88218 flashing tape and 86220
reinforcing fabric where indicated on the drawings
and/or where required by the manufacturer prior to the
application of base coat
G. Surface Condition: Surface shall be dean and dry prior
to coating.
3.3 APPLICATION
A. Factors That Affect Dry Film Thickness: Volume of
solids, thinning, surface profile, application technique
and equipment, overspray, squeegee, brush and roller
wet out, container residue, spills and other waste are
among the many factors that affect the amount of wet'
coating required to yield proper dry film thickness. To
ensure that specified dry film thickness is achieved,
use a wet mil gauge to verify actual thickness of wet
coating applied, adjusting as needed for those factors
which directly affect the dry film build.
Series :
a. Primer. Where required, thoroughly mix primer
and apply at a rate of 300 sf/gal (D.33 gal/100
