It improves water resistance, water repellency, and surface properties of cementitious materials, including concrete. Reduces risk of coating failures associated with moisture migration and outgassing. Concrete surfaces treated with Premera HLT-SR last longer, cost less to maintain, and resist wear, abrasion, and dusting.
          b.Premera HLT-SR is recommended for use as a pre-priming surface treatment on floorings, liners in immersion application, and adhered waterproofing membranes - including structures under hydrostatic pressure.

          PART 3EXECUTION
 
          3.1EXAMINATION
 
          A.Do not begin installation until the substrates have been properly constructed and prepared.
          1.Do not apply to surfaces that are frozen, dirty, or have standing water, grease, oil, or other contaminants.
          2.Intended concrete surfaces must be clean, dry, absorbent and structurally sound.
          a.Confirm surface absorbency with a light water spray.
          b.Intended surface should wet uniformly.
          1)If the surface does not wet uniformly, use a recommended cleaner, auto scrubber, power washer or other process to remove surface contaminants.
          c.Surface must be clean and dry prior to application.
 
          B.If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect in writing of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
 
          3.2PREPARATION
 
          A.Clean surfaces thoroughly prior to installation.
