A.Bond Strength (ASTM C882 Modified*) (Minimum) 14-Days 0 Hour Contact Time 2,000 psi 16 Hours Contact Time 1,500 psi *ASTM C882 is modified to allow for 16 hours contact time. Contact time is the time allowed between application of the bonding agent and placement of the plastic concrete.
826.03 PACKAGING. Package the 2 components in separate containers. Identify the
containers as “Component A - Contains Epoxy Resin” and “Component B - Contains Hardener.” Include on the container the following information:
1.Type, mixing directions, and usable temperature range.
2.Name of the Manufacturer.
3.Lot or batch number.
4.Date of packaging.
5.Type of pigmentation.
6.Quantity contained in pounds and gallons.
7.Potential hazards according to the Federal Hazardous Products Labeling Act.
826.04 CERTIFICATION. Submit manufacturer’s certification stating conformance to
the requirements of this Section for each shipment of approved epoxy resin system delivered for use on projects. Clearly state the manufacturer, product name, type, class, grade, and category; as appropriate for each epoxy resin system as listed in the Department’s List of Approved Materials. Identify the lot number(s), expiration date, and quantity of each component of epoxy resin system.
826.05 ACCEPTANCE. The Department will accept epoxy resin systems based on
verification of inclusion on the Department’s List of Approved Materials, compliance of the manufacturers certification and verification the epoxy resin system has not exceeded the expiration date. The Department reserves the right to sample and test epoxy resin systems, at the Engineer’s discretion, in accordance with the Department’s Field Sampling and Testing Manual. 826-2 SECTION 827 EROSION CONTROL MATERIALS
827.01 DESCRIPTION. This section covers the requirements for various materials used
for erosion control.
827.02 AGRICULTURAL LIMESTONE. Conform to the requirements and provisions
of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. The Department of Agriculture furnishes a test report and any required weight penalties to each agricultural limestone producer. Furnish the Engineer with a copy of the test report, curr ent within 9 months, as the basis of approval. The Engineer may sample any agricultural l imestone that appears to be of questionable quality upon visual inspection.
827.03 FERTILIZER. Provide commercial fertilizer that complies with the Kentucky
Fertilizer Law, and contains the plant nutrien ts of nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, and soluble potash as specified in the Contract. Ensure that bagged fertilizer displays the following information on the bag or on a sticker or tag attached to the bag:
