Part 3 EXECUTION 3.01 Site Inspection and Testing A. B. If substrate preparation is the responsibility of another installer, notify Architect or General Contractor if preparation is unsatisfactory before proceeding. Ensure that environmental and site conditions are suitable for application and curing. Temperature of the surface to be coated must be at least 5 degrees above dew point temperature of the air. Check dew point in accordance with ASTM E-337 or by using approved digital instrument. Surfaces to receive coatings must be structurally sound, thoroughly dry before coatings are applied. Report in writing to Architect / Engineer, with copy to manufacturer, of deficiencies that could impair work. Do not proceed with coating application until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. LINE-X polyurea coatings will follow the contours of the substrate. Notification that the substrate is ready to be coated indicates the Owners acceptance of the substrates levelness, pitch to drains, etc.

Cleaning; SSPC SP-11 Power Tool Cleaning to Bare Metal; SSPC SP-15 Tool Commercial Grade Power Cleaning). C. D. 3.04 Repair damage metal and if required install flashing to tie in wall and floor surfaces together. Ensure all surfaces are dry.

Priming A. B. C. Pre-treat Aluminum, Galvanized or Stainless Steel Surfaces with Metalast TCP-HF. Prime metal surfaces with 1-3 mils dry film thickness of XPM or FCP primer. Once primer is applied, polyurea coating must be applied within the window as specified by the manufacturer. Failure to meet this window requires a light sanding and dust removal. Seal with approved caulk to perimeter of all penetrations, supports, etc., and at all inside corners at changes in plane (i.e. wall/slab intersections).

Installation A. Apply coating system in a single application in accordance with manufactures recommendations to an approximate total average thickness of 125 mils or greater. Average thickness shall be determined using the calculated average thickness from five sites per square foot. Prior to arriving at site: 1. Apply XS-350 to Advantech board 60-70 mils. Apply using the properly sized heated plural component equipment. Maintain an even distance from surface providing a uniform application with a 25% overlap from one pass to the next. 2. Prime the Advantech board with XS-350 with XPM about 4-hours prior to the planned installation time. C. D. E. F. Apply FCP on the walls to a height at least 2 inches above the expected Speed Cove height. Install coated panels, primed side up, using Sikaflex 1A and stainless steel screw fasteners. Install Speed Cove to walls using Sikaflex 1A and stainless steel screw fasteners. Apply XS-350 coating system in a single application in accordance with manufactures recommendations to an approximate total average thickness of 60 mils or greater. The coating shall extend up the wall beyond the top Speed Cove a minimum of 2 inches.

G. Repairs or re-coating after recoat window: 1. Abrade surface to be repaired and 6 beyond the repair area to roughen and dull surface. 2. Scrub with MEK and allow to dry. 3. Reapply primer system. 4. Reapply topcoat system within the primer window. Upon completion of subfloor, install threshold at entry for transition to subfloor.

H. 3.06

Cleaning A. Unmask and dispose of masking materials. Remove any overspray from surrounding substrates as needed, being careful not to scratch or damage surfaces.
