Defi nitions5Bleeding: The autogenous fl ow of mixing water within, or its emergence from, newly placed concrete or mortar as caused by the settlement of the solid materials within the mass. Also called water gain. (FCC)Broadcast Flooring: Usu
15、ally neat (unfi lled) resins or slurries (aggregate fi lled) applied over a fl oor into which aggregate is blown by specialized equipment or thrown by hand, in a raining fashion, into the wet, uncured matrix and allowed to cure.Broadcast to Saturation: Aggregate broadcast into a wet matrix until the
16、 surface does not show wetness of the resinous layers below.Carbonation: Reaction between carbon dioxide and a hydrox-ide or oxide to form a carbonate, especially in cement paste, mortar, or concrete. The reaction with calcium compounds to produce calcium carbonate. (FCC)Capillary space: Microscopic

(FCC)Hydration (of Cement): The reaction of water with the calcium silicate, aluminate, or aluminum/ferrite components of fi ne Portland cement grains necessary for the setting and curing of concrete
18、. Hydration results in the formation of calcium hydroxide and colloidal gels that occupy a larger volume than the original cement.Keyed (Key in): The process of removing the concrete sub-strate in order to create a durable termination border for a fl uid-applied fl ooring system. Lap Length: The len
19、gth of overlapping of steel rein-forcing bars.Planarity: The general evenness of a substrate in an intended dimension. Planarity should not be confused with levelness. A sloped area, for example, should be “in plane,” without low or high spots, but is not level.Pozzolan: A siliceous or siliceous and

28、installation sequence, the joining of additional material to material already placed.4. Pre-Application Procedures4.1 Condition Surveys: Accurate and thorough condition surveys should be performed by experienced and qualifi ed fi rms or personnel prior to specifi cation preparation. Surveys should b
29、e carried out according to referenced standards, including but not limited to ACI 201.1R-92 and ICRI Guideline 03732. Appendix A provides background information about charac-teristics of concrete designed for resinous fl oor coating ap-plication.4.2 General Concrete Substrate Requirements: Proper de
30、sign and placement of the underlying concrete are essential to the proper performance of any resinous surfacing system. Appendix A addresses critical issues that should be considered in the composite system of concrete and its surfacing, but is not all-inclusive. Detailed concrete and concrete subst
31、rate requirements are discussed at length by ACI 364.1R-94, ACI 201.2R-01, ACI 546R-96; ICRI Guidelines 03730, 03731 and 03732; and The Fundamentals of Cleaning and Coating Con-crete, as well as a host of other standards and publications.5. General Surface Preparation5.1. Treatment for Alkali Silica
32、 Reaction: Sections of surfaces with unacceptable levels of Alkali Silica Reaction (ASR) should be treated either by application of a mitigating surface treatment approved by the surfacing manufacturer or by removal and replacement according to specifi cations or using methods as described in ICRI 0
33、3730. See Appendices A.2.2.1 and B.2.1 for discussion of ASR and remediation procedures.5.2 Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate: If the moisture vapor transmission rate exceeds 3 lbs per 1,000 ft2in 24 hours as tested in accordance with ASTM F 1869 or E 1907 or exceeds the minimum moisture levels recom
34、mended by the surfacings manufacturer, coatings or surfacings should not be applied until moisture levels meet required limits. If the project schedule must be expedited, moisture levels may be adequately reduced by various commercial surface treatments. (See Appendices A.2.2.2 and B.2.2 for discuss
35、ion of MVT and its mitigation.)5.3 Following rehabilitative treatments, the surface should be retested in accordance with ASTM F 1869 or ASTM E 1907.5.4 The surface should be checked for the presence of chlorides, sulfates, and other soluble salts in a manner accept-able to the owner or surfacing ma
36、nufacturer. See Appendix B.2.3 for more details. Soluble salt samples used for testing should be extracted and analyzed according to procedures established in the procurement documents or per the coat-ing manufacturers recommendations. If soluble salt removal is required but no method for extraction
37、 and analysis of test results is specifi ed or stated by the owner, agreement between contracting parties on acceptable methods of testing for soluble salt contamination should be reached prior to starting the job, in a manner acceptable to the surfacing manufacturer. 5.5 All surface imperfections s
38、hould be repaired before surfacing. Repair materials and methods should comply with specifi cations and/or manufacturers instructions. Generally, surface repairs are made with mortars of the same or similar resin bases as the fl oor surfacing to be placed. For example, epoxy mortars should be used f
39、or substrate repair over which an epoxy surfacing is to be applied; urethane mortars where ure-thane fl ooring will be applied; vinyl ester mortar where vinyl ester fl ooring will be applied, etc. As an alternative, polymer modifi ed concrete can be used for repairs based upon manufacturers recommen
40、dations. Appendices B.3 and B.5 provide information on repair procedures, as does ICRI Guideline 03733.5.6 The concrete surfaces to which repair material will be applied should be sound and solid, free of dust, dirt, greases, and oils. Appendix B.4 provides information on removal of oil and grease.5
41、.7 Surface Profi le: Surfacings and coatings generally form a bond through mechanical attachment during the curing process. A profi led substrate surface will gain maximum adhe-sion. ICRI Guideline 03732 provides comprehensive, informative guideline tools that are useful in determining required prof
42、i ling methods. Plastic replicas of typical surfaces produced by these methods are useful in correlating specifi ed profi le to that which is produced or required in the fi eld. Optimum profi le is required to produce proper adhesion and performance of coatings and surfacings; too little or too much
43、 substrate profi le may be detrimental to performance of a specifi c overlay system. See Appendices B.8 and B.9 as well as SSPC-SP 13/NACE No. 6 for additional details on surface preparation of concrete. 5.8 Masking and Protection: Surfaces adjoining or ad-jacent to the area being fi nished that are
44、 not intended to be coated or surfaced should be protected from trowel, power trowel, roller spatter, overspray and other misplacement of materials, as well as from dirt, dust or debris generated by the application operation (see Appendix B.11.1).6. Application of Thick Film Coatings and Surfacings
45、6.1 Pre-Application Procedures: The work area should be checked to ensure environmental conditions for application are within specifi cations, that the work area layout facilitates ease of application, that traffi c control procedures are in place, and that adequate lighting is provided (see Appendi
46、x B.10.4).6.2 Mixing: Most resins (unless mixed by an application unit) and aggregate blends should be mixed in accordance with SSPC-TU 10December 1, 2002Editorial Revisions November 1, 200410-134specifi cations and the surfacing manufacturers requirements. See Appendix B 11.2 for more detail.6.3 Pr
47、iming: Most manufacturers fl oor coating and surfac-ing systems require use of primers to enhance adhesion of the system to the prepared substrate and to minimize outgassing, the release of air from concrete as concrete temperature rises (see Appendix B.11.3).6.4 Examination for Contaminants: The su
48、rface should be inspected for other contaminants which may have formed during or following cure, such as dirt, dust and other forms of debris, as well as for oils or other substances which may have collected on the surface. Depending upon the facility or operation, the ongoing processes may generate
49、 dust, dirt, or oily mists that may collect on a cured surface. People may walk over cured or uncured surfaces, especially after applica-tors leave the project, tracking contaminants on the surface. Detection and removal of contaminants prior to next applica-tion is required for adhesion. Under certain conditions epoxy primers or intermediate coats may develop amine blush, which must be removed prior to application of subsequent coatings or surfacings. Inspection for and removal of all contaminants prior to any subsequent application of coatings or surfacings is necessary for their
