825.05 CERTIFICATION. Submit manufacturer’s certification stating conformance
to the requirements of this section for each shipment of deicer delivered for use. Clearly state the manufacturer, product name, actual test results showing conformance to the stated requirements, date of compliance analysis to 40 CFR 261 for leachable heavy metals and quantity of deicer.
825.05 ACCEPTANCE. The Department will accept deicers based on compliance of
manufacturer’s certification and visual inspection by the Engineer. The Department reserves the right to sample and test deicers, at the Engineers discretion, in accordance with the Department’s Field Sampling and Testing Manual. The Department will conduct testing of calcium chloride deicers in accordance with KM 64-222 and of sodium chloride deicers in accordance with KM 64-225. 825-1 SECTION 826 - EPOXY RESIN SYSTEMS
826.01 GENERAL. Conform to ASTM C 881, except as specified in Subsections
826.01 01, 826.01.02, and 826.01.03. Provide materials, of all types, of the Grade and Class
required for the intended use. Types are as follows:
A.Type III. Use in epoxy-sand slurry, as a binder in epoxy mortars or epoxy concretes.
A.Type IV. Use for installing dowels into hardened portland cement concrete or hardened Portland cement concrete to hardened Portland cement concrete.
A.Type V. Use for bonding plastic portland cement concrete to hardened portland cement concrete.
826.01.01 Epoxy-Sand Slurry for Concrete Bridge Deck Overlays. Conform to
ASTM C 881, Type III or AASHTO M 200, Class II.
826.01.02 Reinforcing Bar Grout Adhesives. The Department will allow reinforcing
bar grout adhesives, from the Department’s List of Approved Materials, as an alternate to Type IV epoxies for doweling reinforc ing bars into hardened concrete.
A.Category I. Conform to KM 64-209 utilizing a maximum one-hour cure time.
B.Category II. Conform to KM 64-209 utilizing a maximum 24-hour cure time.
826.01.03 Structural Adhesives with Extended Contact Time. The Department
will allow structural adhesives, from the Depart ment’s List of Approved Materials, as an alternate to Type V epoxies for bonding plastic portland cement to hardened portland cement concrete.
826.02 APPROVAL. The Department will approve epoxy resin systems based on review
of required independent laboratory data and Department conducted testing. Submit independent laboratory data conducted within one year of the date of product submittal for Department approval. Obtain Department approval for each epoxy resin system every five years.
826.02.01 ASTM C881 Epoxy. The Department will approve ASTM C881 epoxy
for Type, Class, and Grade based on the ma nufacturer’s submission of independent laboratory data showing the actual test values for the ASTM specification requirements and submission of a product sample from a production lot for testing. C881 Type IV analysis shall include re-bar pull testing in accordance with KM64-209.
826.02.02 AASHTO M 200. The Department will approve AASHTO M200 epoxy
based on the manufacturer’s submission of independent laboratory data showing the actual test values for the AASHTO M 200 specification requirements for Class II and submission of a product sample from a production lot.
826.02.03 Reinforcing Bar Grout Adhesives. The Department will approve non-
epoxy Reinforcing Bar Grout Adhesives based on testing conducted by the Department in accordance with KM64-209.
826.02.04 Structural Adhesives with Extended Contact Time. The Department
will approve Structural Adhesives with Exte nded Contact Time based on the manufacturer’s submission of independent laboratory data showing the actual test values for the ASTM C881 specification requirements for Type V, with the following modifications and submission of a product sample from a production lot.
