Flexible Epoxy Membrane: Basis of Design RBC Inc., Elasto-Flex
Type: Fluidproof and crack dampening flexible epoxy membrane.
Application: Placed prior to the epoxy system to stop water and other fluids from penetrating cracks in the concrete substrate and minimizes "reflexive" cracking of the epoxy topping.
Control Joint Filler: Use manufacturer's recommended control joint fillers.
EXECUTION
EXAMINATION
Confirm vapor barrier has been installed below concrete slabs on grade.
Evaluate substrate condition, including substrate moisture transmission, quantity and severity of cracking, and the extent of repairs needed, and subfloor tolerances. Repair substrate imperfections after mechanical preparation of the substrate. Test concrete substrates to verify that the moisture vapor transmission of the substrate does not exceed the Flooring System manufacturers' recommendations.
Protect surrounding substrates and surfaces, as well as in-place equipment during surface preparation and system installation.
Do not begin installation until substrates have been properly prepared.
If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect of unsatisfactory preparation before proceeding.
Prior to commencing Work, examine underlying and adjoining surfaces and conditions upon which Work is in any way dependent for desired results. Report conditions which affect Work.
Commencement of Work constitutes acceptance of surfaces. Do not proceed unless acceptable test results are achieved.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Surface to be bonded must be clean and sound, requiring preparation in all cases.
Surface Evaluation:
Moisture: Test for moisture in slab using ASTM D4263, one test for every 500 square feet or other testing method acceptable to manufacturer. Submit report for moisture level in substrate to verify compliance with manufacturer's requirements. If tests exceed recommended levels, contact manufacturer for recommended treatment prior to installation of material.
Strength: 180 psi minimum direct tensile strength of the concrete substrate after preparation. Determine by a commercially available adhesion tester (such as Elcometer Adhesion Tester Module 106).
Contaminants: Detect presence of grease, wax, or oil by dropping a small quantity of muriatic acid onto the concrete surface; no reaction indicates contaminants that must be removed prior to grit-blasting.
Concrete Surface Cleaning Procedures:
Prepare surface in accordance with manufacturer's Concrete Substrate Surface Preparation instructions.
Remove grease, wax, and oil by scrubbing with an industrial grade detergent or degreasing compound followed by gritblasting or an approved method of mechanical removal.
Remove deteriorated concrete to sound concrete by bush hammering, gritblasting, scarifying, waterblasting, or other approved methods of mechanical removal.
Remove dirt, dust, laitance, and curing compounds by gritblasting, sanding, or other approved methods of mechanical removal. Use acid etching only when no other practical surface preparation method exists; acid etching may not remove wax curing compounds.
Follow gritblasting and mechanical removal by sweeping and vacuuming. If compressed air cleaning is used, the air must be oil-free (removal of oilier may be required).
INSTALLATION
General: Apply each component of the flooring system in compliance with manufacturer's written installation instructions and strictly adhere to mixing and installation methods, recoat windows, cure times and environmental restrictions.
Cure time will lengthen, and viscosity will increase as temperature drops.
If necessary, precondition material to above 60 degrees F. Hot material will have a drop in viscosity and corresponding decrease in working time.
Optimum application temperature of the concrete slab is 65 degrees F.
Do not apply if concrete slab temperature is below 50 degrees F.
Accessories: Install accessories required for complete flooring system in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
Integral Cove Base: Install where detailed on the Drawings.
Cracks: Repair in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations.
Smooth spalled and uneven concrete surfaces.
Slope concrete to drains, trenches, or sumps.
Isolation/Expansion and Other Joints Subject to Movement: Honor expansion joints through the flooring system
INSTALLATION, FLOORING SYSTEM
Install in accordance with manufacturer's proprietary installation guidelines for each system specified.
Install fluidproof and crack dampening flexible epoxy membrane prior to placing the epoxy flooring system when required or recommended by flooring manufacturer.
** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Retain the following Field Testing for HEF-Dielectric Amazite Electrical Insulating Flooring Systems.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL
Test installed system in accordance with ASTM D149.
CURING, CLEANING AND PROTECTION
Cure the flooring system materials in compliance with manufacturer's directions, taking care to protect floor from chemical exposure and abrasive wear during the first 7 days or as otherwise advised by the manufacturer based on curing temperatures.
Protect the flooring system from damage and wear during other phases of the construction operation, using temporary coverings as recommended by the manufacturer, if required. Remove temporary covering just prior to final inspection.
Clean the flooring system just prior to final inspection, using materials and procedures suitable to the system manufacturer.
