A.Provide a sealer that consists of a wax -free low odor, high molecular weight methacrylate prime

coat. Use a prime coat resin that has a maximum volatile content of 30 percent when tested in accordance with ASTM D2369 before adding initiator. The resin m ust also conform to the following: Table 1045.4 -1. High Molecular Weight Methacrylate (HMWM) Resin Properties Property Requirement Test Method Viscosity* (Brookfield RVT with UL adapter, 50 RPM at 77ºF) 25 cps, maximum ASTM D2196 Specific Gravity* (at 77ºF) 0.90, minimum ASTM D1475 Flash Point* (oF) 180 minimum ASTM D1310 Vapor Pressure* (at 77ºF) 0.0193 PSI maximum ASTM D323 Tack Free Time (minutes at 77ºF) 400 min. maximum ASTM C679 PCC Saturated Surface -Dry Bond Strength (at 24 hrs. at 70±1ºF) 700 PSI minimum California Test CT551, Part 5 *Tested before adding initiator .

B.Use a prime coat promoter/initiator that consists of a metal drier and peroxide. If supplied

separately from the resin, do not mix the metal drier directly with the peroxide as a violent exothermic reaction will result. Store the containers in a manner tha t will not allow leakage or spillage from 1 material to contact the containers or material of the other.

The materials must have sufficient adhesive property or be applied with have primer tack coat. Use primer/tac k adhesive materials that maintain compatibility with the asphaltic membrane. Use per manufacturer’s recommen dation.

B.Additional requirements for traffic bearing membranes:

1045.6Aesthetic Stain

A.Provide a water based penetrating stain designed for exterior use. Provide a stain that is UV

resistant, weather resistant, and breathable. Provide a stain that complies with all local VOC regulations.

B.Provide a stain with a composition meeting the requirements listed below.

Table 1045.6 -1. Aesthetic Stain Composition Property Specification Requirement Solids Content by Weight ASTM D2832 30% Minimum Mildew Resistance FED Test Method STD 141 Method 6271.2 Resistant Weather Resistance ASTM G7 Passing at 2 years Color AMS -STD-595A Per contract Drying time (to touch) ASTM 1640 2 hours minimum CONCRETE COATINGS AND MEMBRANES SECTION 104 5 700 Drying time (to recoat) ASTM 1640 24 hours minimum

1045.7Li quid Membrane -Forming Compounds for Curing

A.Provide a Type 2 sprayable liquid membrane -forming compound for curing in accordance with

ASTM C309. Apply curing compound at the manufacturer's recommended rate of application. In the absence of manufacturer's recommendations, apply until the original col or of the concrete is effectively obscured by a uniform white appearance.
