PART 3 APPLICATION
3.01 SURFACE PREPARATION
A. Sweep entire area thoroughly;
B. Degrease and/or neutralize areas as needed;
C. Thoroughly route all moving cracks and joints;
D. Create a surface profile with a steel shot blast machine and dust-free diamond grinders for
edges;
E. Sweep and vacuum profiled area until completely clean. Verify that profiled surface is dry
and free of all oil, grease, detergent film, sealers and/or curing compounds. Degrease and/or
decontaminate areas as need. Thoroughly wipe freshly cleaned areas with Acetone;
3.02 CRACK & DRAIN REPAIR
A. Adhere strictly to manufacturer's current written instructions. Refer to Product Data Sheet &
Product Manufacturer Safety Data Sheet before using materials;
B. Fill moving cracks and joints with ARCTHANETM;
C. Fill holes, static cracks and other damaged areas with EE-95;
D. "Key in" all drains, edges and transition points with EE-95;
E. Allow filled areas to cure a minimum of 2 hours @ 75掳F;
F. Optional; Install a 4" integral cove base at perimeter walls.
3.03 FLOOR APPLICATION
A. Apply prime coat of EE-80 @ 1-3 mils by 1/4鈥? nap roller. Allow to cure a minimum of 4
hours @ 75掳F or until tack-free.
B. Apply wet coat of EE-75 @15 mils with notched squeegee.
C. Broadcast Color Quartz aggregate to excess (i.e. until all wet spots disappear, typically 1# of
quartz per square foot). Allow curing a minimum of 8 hours @ 75掳F.
D. Sweep up excess aggregate with clean, sturdy bristle floor broom.
F. Apply a second wet coat of EE-75 with 1/4鈥? roller sufficient to wet out quartz. This is a tight
roll and should leave no puddling of product.
G. Broadcast Color Quartz aggregate to excess (i.e. until all wet spots disappear, typically 陆 # of
quartz per square foot). Allow curing a minimum of 8 hours @ 75掳F.
H. Sweep up excess aggregate with clean, sturdy bristle floor broom.
I. Top Coat with EE-75 using a 1/4鈥? nap roller. Apply sufficient material to provide the level of
non-slip desired by the client. A tight roll with a 1/4鈥? nap roller will provide a very aggressive
non-slip. A light pressure roll with a 3/8鈥? nap will give a smoother finish.
J. Allow finished floor to cure a minimum of 8 hours @ 75掳F before subjecting to light use i.e.
foot traffic. Allow curing for 24 hours before subjecting to medium duty i.e hand truck; allow
curing for 48 hours before subjecting to heavy use i.e. fork truck.
