Do not proceed with the concrete floor sealer installation until <br />unsatisfactory conditions are corrected.</p> <p>B.</p> <p>Assure before application that surfaces to be treated do not contain any kind of sealer <br />(sodium, potassium, etc.), chlorides, oil, grease, dirt, curing compounds, or any substance <br />that might act as a bond breaker.</p> <p>C.</p> <p>Existing slabs with unknown history or slabs with previous coating failures: Provide concrete <br />core analysis from independent lab for ION and IR analysis, recommended by SG2 <br />manufacturer. Do not proceed until manufacturer has analyzed test results.</p> <p>D.</p> <p>Anhydrous Calcium Chloride Testing as per ASTM F-1869, and/or RH as per ASTM F2170 <br />and/or concrete core analysis.</p> <p>07 26 19-3</p> <p>1. Before installation of concrete floor sealer (SG2): use tests carried out by <br />Architect/Engineer during study phase, and confirm by testing through installer or <br />independent laboratory. <br />3.2</p> <p>PREPARATION <br />A.</p> <p>Protect adjacent surfaces not designated to receive SG2 concrete floor sealer.</p> <p>B.</p> <p>Substrate/surface preparation: <br />1. Remove existing floor coverings, coatings and adhesives down to bare concrete, curing <br />compounds, efflorescence, dust, grease, laitance, etc. with steel shot blasting, abrasive <br />(sand) blasting or grinding using a diamond cup blade. Acid etching is not allowed. <br />2. Assure that all slabs have concrete surface profile ICRI CSP 3 - 5 for mechanical bond. <br />Smooth surfaces are not acceptable, they must be steel shot blasted. <br />3. Burn off reinforcing fibers and collect and vacuum remains. <br />4. Repair defective areas such as honeycombs, cracks or other defects with a suitable <br />repairing or manufacturer recommended mortar or crack mending resin for nonmovement cracks and joints. <br />5. Treat saw cut and expansion joints as per manufacturer’s application guideline. <br />6. Install cementitious underlayment, leveling mortars, flash patching, on top of surface <br />applied concrete floor sealer (SG2). <br />7. Contact manufacturer for recommendations for areas where a separation screed is <br />required. <br />8. Treat oil contaminated areas as per manufacturer’s recommendations. <br />9. Carefully rinse or pre-dampen several times all the surfaces to be treated with clean <br />water, leave no standing water.</p> <p>3.3</p> <p>INSTALLATION <br />A. Mix concrete floor sealer (SG2) material in proportions recommended by manufacturer’s printed <br />instructions. <br />B. Apply concrete floor sealer (SG2) material in quantities as per manufacturer's specifications and <br />recommendations. <br />1. Apply SG2 in one coat at 75 SF/gal = 160 SF/2.2 gal kit (~21 mils WFT). <br />2. Apply using roller or notched squeegee to the still moist substrate, and carefully scrub it into <br />the pores with a long handled scrub brush. Follow with a roller to achieve a uniform coverage. <br />C. Immediately (within 2 minutes) broadcast clean, dry, fresh water washed and dried #20-50 silica <br />sand (0.5 to 1.0 mm) to “rejection” (full broadcast) or at a rate up to 30-50 lb/100 SF (1.5 kg/m2) <br />into the fresh/wet concrete floor sealer (SG2). Walk over fresh/wet SG2 using shoes with <br />attached spikes. <br />D. Let fully broadcasted SG2 cure for minimum 12 hrs. as per manufacturer’s instructions, then <br />broom sweep and vacuum the surface to remove all loose sand. The clean, prepared surface of</p> <p>07 26 19-4</p> <p>the sand is the priming system for AQUAFIN and other self-leveling underlayment, epoxy coating <br />or other adhesives. No additional priming is required. <br />3.3</p> <p>FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br />A. It is not necessary to re-test the substrate for moisture emissions prior to installing the coating or <br />floor covering.</p> <p>3.4</p> <p>ACCEPTANCE <br />A.</p> <p>Remove left over materials and any foreign material resulting from the work from the site.</p> <p>B.</p> <p>Clean adjacent surfaces and materials. Protect the underlayment from abuse by other trades <br />with plywood, Masonite or other suitable protection materials. <br />END OF SECTION</p> <p>072619-5</p> <p>Project: ........ (04/17)</p>
