About ICRI Guidelines
The International Concrete RepairInstitute (ICRI)
wasfounded to improve the durability ofconcrete
repair and enhance its valuefor structure owners.
The identification, development, andpromolion of
the most promising method� and materials are
primary vehicles for accelerating advances in
repair technology Working through a variety of
forums, ICRJ members have the opportunity to
address these issues and to directly contribute to
improving the practice ofc6ncrete repair
A principal component of this effort is to make
comfu fly se lec I ed informa t i on a n imp a rum t repair
subjects readily accessible to decision makers.
During the past several decades, much has been
reported in the literature on concrete repair
methods andmaterials as theyhave been developed
and refined Nevertheless, it has been difficult to
findcrilically reviewed information on the state of
the art condensed into easy-to-useformats.
To that end, ICRJ guidelines are prepared hy
sanctioned laskgroups and approved by the ICRt
TechnicalActivides Committee. Each guideline is
designed to address a specific area of practice
recognized as essential to the achievement of
durable repairs.,411 1CRIguidefine documents are
subject to continualreview by the membership and
may be revised as approv�d by the Technical
Activities Committee.

GUIDE FOR SURFACE PREPARATION FOR THE REPAIR OF DETERIORATED CONCRETE RESULTING FROM REINFORCING STEEL CORROSION 310.1 R-2008
I _\
[M
t
JIV =_I,
This guideline provides owners, design profes-
sionals, contractors, and other interested parties
with a recommended practice for the removal of
deteriorated concrete caused by the corrosion of
reinforcing steel, including the preparation of the
removal cavity to provide a clean sound surface
to bond a repair material.
This guideline outlines removal geometry,
configuration, removal process, edge preparation,
reinforcement repair, surface preparation, and
inspection prior to placing a repair material. An
engineer should evaluate the impact of concrete
removal on structural capacity prior to performing
concrete removal and repair. The repair methods
involve saw cutting and concrete removal using
impact tools, hydrodemolition, and other removal
techniques. Special caution should be taken to
locate and avoid cuffing or damaging embedded
reinforcing bars, prestressing strands, post -
tensioning tendons, or electrical conduits. Cutting
into these items can be life threatening and may
significantly affect structural integrity.
This guideline also contains a discussion of
concrete removal and preparation for the repair
of columns where the concrete is in compression.
Special consideration must be given to the repair
of concrete in compression as the load -carrying
capacity of the element may be permanently
compromised during the concrete removal and
preparation process,
While the procedures outlined herein have
been used to successfully remove concrete and
prepare the removal cavity on many projects, the
requirements for each project will vary due to
many different factors. Each project should be
evaluated individually to ascertain the applicability
of the procedures described herein. Refer to ACI
50611-05, "Guide to Shotcrete" for surface prepar-
ation prior to shotcrete application.

Anodic ring effect: Corrosion proc ss in which
the steel reinforcement in the concrete surrounding
a repaired area begins to corrode preferentially
to the steel reinforcement in the newly repaired
area (sometimes referred to as the halo effect).
Bruised surface (micro -fracturing): Asurface
layer weakened by interconnected microcracks
in concrete substrates caused by the use of high -
impact, mechanical methods for concrete
removal, and surface preparation; fractured layer

typically extends to a depth of 0.13 to 0.38 in.
(3 to 10 mm) and, if not removed, frequently
results in lower bond strengths as compared with
surfaces prepared with nonimpact methods.
Carbonation: The conversion of calcium ions
in hardened cementitious materials to calcium
carbonate by reaction with atmospheric carbon
dioxide. Carbonation reduces the pH of the
concrete and its ability to protect reinforcing steel
and embedded metal items from corrosion.
Chloride contamination: Contamination of
concrete with chloride ions commonly used in
deicing salts and accelerating admixtures such as
calcium chloride and sodium chloride. Chloride
contamination above the threshold for corrosion
can result in corrosion of the reinforcing steel.
Chloride threshold: The amount of chloride
required to initiate steel corrosion in reinforced
concrete under a given set of exposure conditions;
commonly expressed in percent of chloride ion
by mass of cement.
Corrosion: Degradation of concrete or steel
reinforcement caused by electrochemical or
chemical attack.
Microcrack: A crack too small to be seen with
the unaided eye.
Tensile pulloff test: A test to determine the
unit stress, applied in direct tension, required to
separate a hardened repair material from the
existing concrete substrate. The test may also be
used to determine the maximum unit stress that
the existing concrete substrate is capable of
resisting under axial tensile loading and the near -
surface tensile strength of a prepared surface
(refer to ICRI Technical Guideline No. 210.3-
2004 [formerly No. 037391 and ASTM C1583).
Substrate: The layer immediately under a
layer of different material to which it is typically
bonded; an existing concrete surface that receives
an overlay, partial -depth repair, protective coating,
or some other maintenance or repair procedure.
The practice of completely removing the concrete
(undercutting) from around the corroded
reinforcement, no matter what degree ofcorrosion
is found, is key to achieving long-term performance
of surface repairs. In most cases, complete
removal of the concrete from around the
reinforcing steel is the best practice, where
protection of the reinforcing steel within the

INTERNATIONAL

repair cavity is achieved by providing a uniform
chemical environment around the reinforcing
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.
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
can result in accelerated corrosion of the
surrounding 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.

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
delarninations that are not readily identifiable
by sounding. Repair configurations should be
kept as simple as possible, preferably square or
rectangularwith square comers (Fig. 6.1). This may
result in the removal of sound concrete. Reentrant
comers should be minimized or avoided, as they
are susceptible to cracking.

the repair material to the full circumference of the
reinforcing steel will secure the repair structurally.
Provide a minimum of 0.75 in. (19 turn) clearance
between exposed reinforcing steel and surrounding
concrete or 0.25 in. (6 mm) !hrger than the coarse
aggregate in the repair material, whichever is
greater. Sound concrete may have to be removed
to provide proper clearance around the reinforcing
steel. If impact breakers are used for partial depth
concrete removal, the breaker should not exceed
30 lb (12 kg). A 15 lb (7 kg) breaker is preferred

to minimize damage to the substrate, reinforcing
steel, and surrounding concrete.
Concrete removal should extend along the
reinforcing steel until there is no further delam-
ination, cracking, or significant corrosion and the
reinforcing steel is we - 11 bonded to the surrounding
concrete. Care should be taken to avoid significant
and sudden changes in the depth of concrete
removal, as the repair material is more susceptible
to cracking at these locations.
If'noncorroded reinforcing steel is exposed
during the removal process, care should be taken
to not damage the bond to the surrounding
concrete. If the bond between the reinforcing
steel and concrete is broken, undercutting of
the reinforcing steel is required.
Remove all deteriorated concrete and additional
concrete as required to provide the proper
configuration and/or the minimum required
thickness of repair material as required by the
manufacturer of the repair material and/or the
project specifications.
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 recom�mendations, a saw cut depth
less than 0.75 in. (19 min) 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.
Remove the bruised layer and bond -inhibiting
materials such as dir� concrete slurry, and loosely
bonded concrete by, oil -free abrasive blasting
(Fig. 7.3) or high-pressure water blasting. The
4-310.lR-200B GUIDE FOR SURFACE PREPARATION FOR THE REPAIR OF DETERIORATED CONCRETE RESULTING FROM REINFORCING STEEL CORROSION
saw -cut edge of the repair area should also be
blasted to roughen the polished vertical surface
caused by the saw -cutting.
All concrete, corrosion products, and scale
should be removed from the reinforcing steel by
oil -free abrasive blasting or high-pressure water
blasting. Verify that the reinforcing steel and
concrete surface are free from dirt, oil, cement
fines (slurry), or any material that may interfere
with the bond of the repair material. Inspect the
repair cavity to verify that all delaminations and
deterioration have been removed. If hydro -
demolition is used, cement fines (slurry) must be
completely removed from the repair surface. A
tightly -bonded lightrustbuild-up onthereintorcing
surface is usually not detrimental to bond. If a
protective coating is applied to the reinforcing
steel, follow the coating manufacturer's recom-
mendations for steel surface preparation.
Loose reinforcement should be secured in its
original position by tying to secure bars or by
other appropriate methods to prevent movement
during placement of repair material.
If reinforcing steel has lost cross -sectional
area, a structural engineer should be consulted.
Repair reinforcing steel by, I either replacing the
INS TIT 'i T E

damaged/deteriorated steel or placing supple-
mental reinforcing steel in the affected section
(Fig. 8. 1). Supplemental reinforcing steel maybe
lap -spliced or mechanically spliced to existing
reinforcing steel. The supplemental reinforcing
steel should extend (lap length) beyond the
damaged/deteriorated area in accordance with
ACI 318, "Building Code Requirements for
Structural Concrete."
4 A!du11;41RJtD1-
Immediately prior to placing the repair material,
inspect the repair cavity to verify that all bond -
inhibiting materials (dirt, concrete slurry, loosely
bonded aggregates, or any material that may
interfere with the bond ofthe repair material to the
existing concrete) have been removed. If bond -
inhibiting materials are present, the repair cavity
should be recleaned as previously described.
To verify the adequacy of the prepared
concrete surface and completeness of bond -
inhibiting material removal, a tensile pulloff test
(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 best pnictice
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 he
concrete within the column reinforcing st !el
(Fig. 10.2) can greatly increase the compress ve
stress in the reinforcing steel and the remain g
concrete. Upon concrete removal, compres ve
load paths redistribute 'around the repai . r
(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 �vill 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 further,
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
preparation process. In normal concrete repai . r
(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-term 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 hot 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.

The repair of deteriorated concrete resulting from
reinforcing steel corrosion is necessary to extend
the service life of the structure. Performing
concrete repairs using industry -best practices will
ensure the success and longevity of the repair.
Understanding the existing conditions and cause
of corrosion will assist the engineer in specifying
the type and extent of the repair required, and the
type of corrosion mitigation systems and/or
preventative measures that should be considered
to protect the structure from future deterioration.

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
donebyhigh pressure water blast, scabbler, or other appropriate mechanical meanstoobtain
an exposed aggregate surface with a minimum surface profile of ±1/8 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

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 carnpcund is recomended.
Limitations ae Application thickness: Minimum 1 in. (25 mm); Maximum 8 in. (200 mm)
to Minimum ambient and surface temperatures 45'F (7*C) and rising at time of application.
ea Using Sikat-atexa, SikaLatexO R or similar products will result in loss of slump and slump
retention. Field tests for suitability are strongly recommended.

ation ConcretelMortar: 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 pressure water blast, scabbler, or other appropriate mechanical means to
obtain an exposed aggregate surface With a minimum surface profile of ±1116 In. (CSP-5) Saturate surface
with clean water. Substrate should be saturated surface dry (SSD) with no standing water during applica-
tion.
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 Sika
Armatec 110 EpoCern (consult Technical Data Sheet).
Priming
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.

Me FerroGard 903
Sika FerroGar& 903
Penetrating, corrosion inhibiting, impregnation
coating for hardened concrete
Description 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 903 forms a protective layer on the steel surface which inhibits
corrosion caused by the presence of chlorides as well as by carbonation of concrete.
iiovv It Works Bike 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 comosion and greatly reduces the overall corrosion activity.
Sika FerroGard 903 protects the embedded steel by depositing a physical barrier in the to" of a protective
layer on the surface of the steel reinforcement. This barrier inhibits corrosion of the steel.
�h.r.t. uses Sika FerroGard 903 is recommended for all steel -reinforced, prestressed, precast, post tensioned or marine
concrete. Use of Ska FerroGard 903:
w Steel -reinforced concrete, bridges and highways exposed to corrosive environments (deicing salts. Weathering)
u Building facades and balconies
n Steel -reinforced concrete in or near a marine environment
w Parking garages
iii Piers, piles, and concrete dock structures
iii As part of Sike's system approach for buildings and civil engineering structures
Advantages Sika FerroGard 003 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 reinforced concrete structure.
• Protects against the harmful effects of corrosion by penetrating the surface of even the most dense con-
crete and diffusing to the steel to inhibit corrosion.
• Enhances the durability of reinforced concrete.
• Does not require concrete removal.
• Environmentally sound.
• Does not contain calcium nitAte.
• Easily applied by either spray or roller to all existing reinforced concrete.
• Can be applied to reinforced concrete that already exhibits corrosion.
iii Adds additional benefits when used prior to protective coatings in concrete restoration systems.
u Water based for easy handling and application.
iii Not a vapor barrier; allows vapor diffusion.
iii FerroGard has been proven effective In both laboratory (ASTM 31 09/Cracked Beams) and field analysis.
. ANSIMSF 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.2/gal. Therefore, more than two coats may be required
to achieve the total application rate: 100 11.21gal.
Packaging 5 gallon pails with spout, 55 gallon drums.

Surface Preparation
Before applying Sika FerroGard 903 be sure the surface is clean and sound. Remove all dirt, dust, oil,
grease, efflorescence or existing coatings from concrete surface by steam cleaning, waterblasting or slightly
sandblasting. Alow concrete surface to dry prior to application of Ska FerroGard 903. The dryer the surface
the better the penetration and effectiveness.

Application Sika,FenroGard 903 is applied by roller, brush or spray on concrete surfaces. When spraying, use a conven-
tional airiess 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 SlIka FerroGard 903 is at least
I 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
mating, Silkafloor 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.
Horizontal surfac:es require pressure washing (2,000 psi minimum) to remove the residue. Vertical surfaces
may be rinsed vilth 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-
rommental conditions, absorbency of the substrate and maximum recommended moisture content for the
subsequently applied system.
Limitations at Minimum ambient and substrate temperatures 35*F.,
n Do not apply when temperature is expected to fall below 35'F within 12 hours.
. If the applied surfaces mill be submerged after the ai�pljcation of Sika FerroGard 903, a waterproofing
coating must be applied prior to submersion.
w Substrate should be as dry as pjossible prior to the application.
lit Protect glass, wood, brick, galvanized steel, copper and exposed aluminum during the application.
a Maximum chloride content of concrete structures intended to be treated with Sika FerroGard 903 is 6 lbs./y3
(measured at the level of the reinforcing steel). For levels up to 10 Ibs./y3, consult technical service.
Irritant - Skin and eye irritant. Vapors may cause respiratory tract irritation. Use only Win adequate ventili
tion. Use of safety goggles and chemical resistant gloves is recommended. Remove contaminated cloth-
iri� I
First Aid In case of skin contact, wash thoroughly with soap and water. For eye contact, flush immediately with plenty
of water for at least 15 minutes; contact physician immediately. For respiratory problems, remove person to
fresh air. Wash clothing before re -use.

Sikagard'5 701W
Solvent -free, siloxane emulsion concentrate
Description
Sikagard 701W is a solvent -free concentrate ' of silane modified siloxane emulsion. When di-
luted, the liquid forms a water and chloride -ion repellent impregnation specifically formulated
to seal absorbent cementitious surfaces and other masonry substrates.
Where to Use
When diluted, use Sikagard 701W as a colorless, non-vapor-barder, 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 701W is both an economical and simple -to -use sealer. Because of its unique
ability to decrease water and chloride intrusion, Sikagard 701W helps reduce the danger of
rebar corrosion.
Silkagard 701W.
• Meets thestandards 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.
• Does not act as a vapor barrier.
• May be applied to alkaline substrates.
• Will not degrade 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.

How to Use
Surface Preparation
Before applying Sikagard 701W, 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.
z
Preparation Work: Concrete and masonry surfaces, sandblast, high pressure water blast or
use other mechanical means.
Mixing
Dilute Silkagard 701W 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 701W should be remixed if unused 24 hours after blending With water.
'.3, App ication
I'
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
,7
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
It Adjacent surfaces such as window frames, glass, stainless steel, aluminum, etc., must be
masked before application.
sit Do not apply at a temperature below 40*17. ,
it Do not apply when substrate temperature exceeds 120'F.
It Material is not recommended for below -grade waterproofing.
Do not apply through standing water.
If Material is not intended to seal visible cracks or crevices from moisture intrusion.
ir Material is not intended for waterproofing under hydrostatic pressure.
. Performance and penetration depth are dependent upon the surface composition.
x Do not use on green concrete.
A.
. When overcoating: an on -site adhesion test is essential to determine actual compatibility.
N Sikagard 701W is not a carbonation barrier.
Caution
Warning Irritant; May cause skin/eye/respiratory irritation. Avoid prolonged contact. Use of safety
goggles 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-
toms persist, 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, comta�111, 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.

HOWTO APPLY
SURFACE PREPARATION
1. Substrates must be sound and level and the
surface free from protrusions, large pores,
honeycombs, gaping cracks, and ridges.
Concrete substrates should be cured 28 days
before MasterSealO 550 application.
2. Sandblast or waterblast substrates to remove
all t races of water repellents, bitumen,
form oils, grease, paint, and other foreign
matter from substrate that could act as a
bondbreaker.
3. Any edges must be rounded. Form coves
with regular site -mixed mortar and round to
a minimum radius of 1 1/2" (38 mm).
MIX114G
i. MasterSeal 550 is supplied in precisely
proportioned units ready for mixing. When
using MasterSeal 550 in cooler climates or if
a thicker consistency is desired, reduce the
amount of Part A (liquid) in the mixture by
approximately 1 quart (0.9 Q.
2. Precondition material to 70* F �50 (21 0 C
±2'),for easier mixing and application.
3. Slowly add Part B (powder) to Part A while
mixing with a 3/4" drill and mixing paddle.
4. Mix to a uniform, smooth, lump -free
consistency. If a looser consistency is
desired, add the remaining portion of Part A
liquid. Overmixing may entrap air.
5. Mix for 3-5 minutes while blending
components and 1-2 minutes after all
components have been blended.
6.The'pot life of MasterSeal 550 is
approximately
30-90 minutes depending on ambient
conditions.
APPLICATION
1. The substrate must be saturated surface -dry
(SSD) with no standing water.
2. MasterSeal 550 is applied only to the positive
side (source of moisture) of the substrate in
1 or 2 void -free coats. Allow 24 hours before
second coat. Thoroughly work the material into
the substrate. Make sure the rounded edges
are fully coated. Apply at 80 wet mils, using a
1/8' (3 mm) square -notched trowel, yielding
60 dry mils (1 /16' or 1.6 mm).
3. Embed fiberglass tape wherever dissimilar
makidals join. Also, treat surface cracks less
than 1/8" (3 mm) wide and areas where
unilerlayment panels meet.
4. In most cases, one coat is sufficient without
reinforcing mesh. If reinforcement is necessary,
embed an appropriate mesh into the still -wet
first coat and use a trowel to work the material
up and through the mesh until it is completely
embedded. Material that is too thick is subject
to drying or shrinkage cracking. Be certain to
cover all reinforcement material.
5. Smooth over With the flat trowel edge, creating
a smooth, void -free membrane.
DRYING TIME
1. Prevent premature drying of the green
application and protect it from extreme heat,
direct sunlight, wind, rain, and frost for at least
three days. (Curing time varies with humidity.
temperature, and substrate porosity.)
2. Tile can be applied after 3 days.
3. Do not allow surface to become wet before
curing is complete. Protection boards may be
needed to avoid puncturing membrane while
installing tile.
CLEAN UP
Wash tools with water immediately after
use. Cured material may only be removed
mechanically.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
• Do not apply at temperatures below 400 F
(40 Q or above 900 F (320 C).
• Do not dilute with water.
• Do not use additives of any kind.
• Do not apply thicker than 1/16" (1.6 mm).
• Do not over trowel.
• Use caution under extremely hot or windy
conditions; they will shorten the pot life and
reduce trowelability. Call Technical Service for
recommendations.
• MasterSeal 550 is not a vapor harder.
• This p[oduct is not recommended for
application over lauan, presswoods, particle
board, masonite, chipboard, plywood, asbestos
board, or any other unstable materials.
• Do not use as an adhesive to install ceramic tile
or natural stone.
• Allow coating to harden sufficiently (not less
than 3 days) before tiling over it.
• Do not puncture membrane while seffing tiles.
• Concrete substrates should be cured 28 days
before MasterSeal 550 application.
• Concrete substrates should be wet cured;
remove any membrane curing compounds.
• Radlant-heated floors must not be in operation
24 hours before, during, or 72 hours after
installation. Follow Ceramic Tile Institute
(CTI) recommendations for tiling over radiant -
heated floors.
• If MasterSeal 550 weathers for more than 28
days, a recoating is recommended to ensure
adhesion of subsequent coatings or overlays.
• Do not add water or fresh mortar to MasterSeal
550 that has already begun to set.
• Two void -free coats are necessary when used
for water containment.
• Allow 14 days cure before submersion.
• Make certain the most current versions of
product data sheet and MSDS are being used;
call Customer Service (1 -800-433-9517) to
verify,the most current versions.
• Proper application is the responsibility of the
user. Field visits by BASF personnel are for the
purpose of making technical recommendations
only and not for supervising or providing quality
control on the jobsite.

HOW TO APPLY
SURFACE PREPARATION
CONCREFE
1.Concrete must be fully cured (28
days), structurally sound, clean and dry
(ASTIVI D 4263). All concrete surfaces (new and
old) must be shot blasted to remove previous
coatings, laitance and all miscellaneous surface
contamiriation and to provide prorfile for proper
adhesion. Abrasive shot blasting must occur
after concrete repair has taken place. Acid
etching is not parraitted. Proper profile should
be a minimum of ICRI CSP-3 (as described in
ICRI document 03732.)
iRepair voids and delarniflated areas with BASF
branded cementitious and epoxy patching
materials. For application when fast -turn repairs
are required, MasterSeal M 265 can be used
to repair patches up to 1 " (25 mm) in depth.
Please refer to Technical Service for proper
application techniques.
3.All units must be applied within the
specified pot life.
SURFACE PRE -STRIPING AND DEWUNG
1.For nortmoving joints and cracks less than !46"
(1.6 mm) wide, apply primer when required, I
followed by 25 wet mills (0.6 mm) pre-strip!ng of
MasterSeal M 200. MasterSeal M 200 must be
applied to fill and overlap the joint or crack 3"
(76 mm) on each side. Feather the edges.
2.Dynamic cracks and joints %6" (1.6 mm) and
greater wide must be routed to a minimum of
% by 114" (6 by 6 mm) and cleaned. Install bond
breaker tape to prevent adhesion of sealants
to the bottom of joint. Prime joint faces
only with Master -Seal P 173 (see Form No.
1017962). Fill joints deeper than Y4" (6 mm)
with appropriate backer rod and MasterSeal
SL 1 '/ SL 2- (slope grade or seif-leveling) or
MasterSeal NP 1'/ NP 2- sealants. For cracks,
sealant should be flush with the adjacent
concrete surface. For expansion joints, sealant
should be slightly concave. Once the sealant Is
cured the lines should be prestriped with base
coat MasterSeal M 200, ovedap the joint 3"
(76 mm) on each side.
3.Sealad joints 1 " (25 mm) or less can be coated
over with MasteuSeal TrAc 1500. Expansion joints
exceeding 1 " (25 mm) Vida should not he coated
over with MasterSeal Traffic 1500 so that they can
perforni Independently of the deck coating system.

4.Wheni the coating system will be terminated
and no wall, joint or other appropriate break
exists, cut a %" x 1/4" (6 x 6 mm) keyway into
the concrete. Fill and coat keyway during
application of MasterSeal M 200.
5.Forrd a sealant cant into the comer at the
juncton of all horbOontal and vertical surfaces
(wall sections, curbs, columns). Prime
with MasterSeal P 173 and apply a X-1
(13-25 mm) wide head of MasterSeal NP 1 or
MasterSeal NP 2 sealants. Tool to form a 45
degree cant Apply masking tape to the vertical
surfaces 4-5" (102-127 mm) above the sealant
cant,to provide a clean termination of the vertical
detail coat. After the sealant has cured, apply
25 mils (0.64 mm) of MasterSeal M 200 over
the cured Gant up to the masking tape and 4"
(I 02.mm) onto deck surface.
6.11`1 locations of high movement such as wall
and slab intersections, a reinforcing fabric is
required. After the sealant cant bead is applied
and cured, apply 25 wet mile of MasterSeal
M 20 ' 0 (0.64 mm) over the sealant and embed
MasterSeal 995 reinforcing fabric into the wet
detail coat
UNCOATED METAL SURFACES
1.Remove dust, debits, and any other

APPLICATION OF PRIMER
PRIMER
NOTE: When primer is required on a job, follow
these steps. When applying Traffic 1500 Without
using a primer, proceed to Application.
1.After thoroughly vacuuming the surface, apply
MasterSeal P 222 or P 220 to all the property
prepared deck surfaces at the rate of 20G-
250 ft2/gal (4.M.1 m2/Q. Using a roller pan
and a short- to medium -nap roller cover, force
[he primer into pores and voids to eliminate
pinholes. Do not apply over pre -striping. Use
only solvent -resistant tools and equipment.
2.Allow primer to dry until tack -free. M 200 must
be applied the same working day.
MASTERSEAL M 200
1.All. preparatory work must be completed before
applicabon begins. Be certain the substrate is
clean. dry, stable and property profiled. Sealants
and pre-stiping should be properly cured.Apply
the base, mid and finish coats with a property sized
sq I ueegee to am . ve at the required mil thicknesses.
zApply MasterSeal M 200 at 25 wet mils thick
(0,64 mm) using a proper notched squeegee to
entire deck surface, and back roll, overcoaffing the
properly prepared cracks, joints and flashings. For
sloped areas, use slope -grade MasterSeal M 200.
Do not coat expansion joints over 1 " (25 mm) wide.
3.Adlow curing time of overnight It 6 hour minimum).
Slightly extend the curing time in cool or dry
weather rondiboins. The surface at MasterSeal
M 200 should have a slight tack. If the ooaHflg
has been exposed for a prolonged period, consult
Technical Service for recommendations.
APPLICATION METHODS OF SYSTEMS
MasterSeal Traffic 1500 can be installed in
several configurations, depending upon the
degree of traffic to which the system is exposed.
In areas of extreme traffic (turning lanes, pay
booths entrances and eAts), apply the Extra

35 lbs/100 ft2 (1.0-1.75 kglm�. Immediately
after the aggregate broadcast and while the
coating is still wet, blow any excess aggregate
via a portable blower forward into the wet
coating. Do not over apply aggregate: it is
acceptable to have localized wet spots In the
aggregate surface after completion of this
method. This process requires coordination
between all of the members in the work crew.
The blower operator, wearing clean spiked
shoes, should blow the excess aggregate
forward towards the freshly applied and back
rolled topcoat. In this method, the coating
should not accept additional sand, minimal
excess aggregate is on the surface, less
aggregate is used and the textured appearance
should be fairly uniform.
4B.BROADCAST AND BACKROLL METHOD
Immediately broadcast MasterSeal 941 or -

MAINTENANCE
I.Portions of the membrane that exhibit wear are
considered a maintenance item, and are not
considered a warrantable item.
7 Surfa&es may be cleaned with commercial
detergents. BASF recommends that a
maintenance agreement be established
between the owner and applicator.
3.Ped0fo inspection and repair of damaged
surfa�es will greatly prolong the performance
and Iffe of the system.
4.Remo've all sharp debris such as sand, gravel
and piIetal on a regular basis to avoid damage
to the coating.
5.When removing snow, avoid the use of metal
blades or buckets that may damage the coating.
CLEAN UP
Clear�all tools and equipment with MasterSeal
990 or xylene.
FOR BEST PERFORMANCE
• Concrete should have a minimum compressive
strength of 3.000 psi (20.7 MPa) and be cured
for a minimum of 28 days.
• Do not apply to concrete that is out -gassing
• Be sure to allow for movement in the deck by
the proper design and use of expansion and
control joints.
• When applying sealants, use backing materials
acc6rding to industry standards.
• Do not apply when substrate temperatures are
over 1100 F (320 C) or under 40* F (4' C).
• When applying MasterSeal 1500 at Interior or
contained spaces, provide adequate ventilation
with a minimum of six air changes per hour.
• When adequate ventilation for use of MasterSeal
Traffic 1500 cannot be maintained, consider the
use of MasterSeal 2500 Traffic coating system,
Form No 1017917.
• Be certain that all aggregate not properly
encapsulated is thoroughly removed.
• On steep ramps in excess of 15%, contact your
loca(BASF representative.
• Substrate temperature must be more than 5
degrees above dew point during application and
cure.
-Do not apply MasterSoal Traffic 1500 to
concrete slabs on grade, unvented metal
pin decks and split slab applications with a
membrane between slabs.
• Select the proper amount of aggregate to
promote slip resistance.
• The best method to ensure average wet film
thickness is the use of a grid system. Divide
the surface area to he coated into grids and
calculate the square footage of each. For
example, one pail of MasterSeal M 200 applied
at 55-60 fia/gal should cover approximately
275-300 sq It or a minimum grid of 16 x 16 ft
at 25 wet mills. The wet film thickness Gan also
be verified with a wet film thickness gauge.
Verify coverage via site mockup.
• Pro -stripe to level out recessed sealant joints Oass
than 1 " [25 mmD for optimal aesthetic appearance.
• Avoid application of MasterSeal Traffic 1500
when inclement weather is present or imminent.
• Do not apply MasterSeal Traffic 1500 to damp,
wet, or contaminated surfaces.
• MasterSeal Traffic 1500 is not suitable for use
where chained or metal -studded bras will be used.
