appearance. All edges that terminate at walls, floor discontinuities, and
other embedded items shall be sharp, uniform, and cosmetically
acceptable with no thick or ragged edge. The contractor shall work out an
acceptable masking technique to ensure the acceptable finish of all edges.
D. See Paragraph 3.3 and/or 3.07 for number and thicknesses of each
coat/layer in each system.

Methacrylate based acrylic liquid). Equivalent materials of other
B. Applicator Qualifications:
1. Pre-qualification requirements: Each bidder for this project shall be pre-
qualified and approved by the material manufacturer at the time of bid
submittal. Acceptability will include judgment on equipment, history, and
financial strength. In no case will BASF Building Systems permit the
application of any of its materials by untrained, non-approved
Contractor or personnel.
2. Each approved applicator shall have been trained by the Manufacturer
in all phases of surface preparation and application of the specified
flooring system(s). Approved applicator must possess proper surface
preparation equipment as recommended by manufacturer.
3. Each approved applicator must have five years experience of installing
the specified flooring system and submit a list of five projects/references
as a prequalification requirement. At least one of the five
projects/references must be of equal size, quantity, and magnitude to
this project as a prequalification requirement. Owner has the option to
personally inspect the projects/references to accept or reject any of the
Contractors prior to bid time as a prequalification requirement.
C. Acceptance Sample:
1. A minimum one-foot square representative sample of the specified
flooring system shall be prepared by the Manufacturer's representative
and submitted to the Owner prior to the bidding phase of the project. All
bidders shall inspect the "acceptance sample" before submitting their
bids.
09670-2
2. The installed flooring system shall be similar to the acceptance sample
in thicknesses of respective film layers, color, texture, overall
appearance and finish.
D. Bond Testing:
1. Surface preparation efforts shall be evaluated by conducting Bond Tests
at the site prior to application of the flooring system(s).
2. See paragraph 3.03 or consult with Material Manufacturer for specific
procedure.
E. Pre-Job Meeting
1. Owner requires a Pre-Job Meeting with representatives of Owner,
Contractor/Applicator, and Material Manufacturer in attendance. The
agenda shall include a review and clarification of this specification,
application procedures, quality control, inspection and acceptance
criteria, and production schedules. Applicator is not authorized to
proceed until this meeting is held or waived by Owner.

machine such as BLASTRAC, as manufactured by Wheelabrator Corp., or
approved equivalent. All surface and embedded accumulations of paint,
toppings, hardened concrete layers, laitance, power trowel finishes, and
other similar surface characteristics shall be completely removed leaving a
bare concrete surface having a profile similar to 40 grit sandpaper and
exposing the upper fascia of concrete aggregate.
2. Floor areas inaccessible to the mobile blast cleaning machines shall be
mechanically abraded to the same degree of cleanliness, soundness, and
profile using vertical disc scarifiers, starwheel scarifiers, needle guns,
scabblers, or other suitably effective equipment.
3. After blasting, traces or accumulations of spent abrasive, laitance, removed
toppings, and other debris shall be removed with brush or vacuum.
4. Conduct Bond Tests to check adequacy of surface preparation. See
Paragraph 3.03 - B (Bond Testing).
5. Application of the respective specified material system(s) must be
completed before any water or other contamination of the surface occurs.
3.04 INSTALLATION:
C. Measure, add, and mix the initiator (MasterTop SRS 100HD) into the respective
resin components in the proportions recommended by the Material
Manufacturer. Pot life is short, so mix only as much material at a time as can be
easily and efficiently applied.
1. Surface Preparation
A. If concrete walls are to be painted prior to installation of cove base, the bottom
portion of the walls shall remain un-coated to the height of the cove base to
insure a proper bond to the concrete wall.
B. If walls are constructed of a non-compatible material or if a coating exists, a
backer board of ¼” plexiglass or ½” cement board cut to the desired height of
the cove base needs to be installed. The top of the backer board should be cut
at a 45 angle to create a “beveled” edge.
C. If a backer board needs to be installed it shall be fastened using a high grade
construction adhesive as well as counter sunk screws or concrete masonry
anchors.
2. System Description
A. Cove base shall be installed according to manufacturers recommendations and
shall be one of two systems:
1. MasterTop 1815 SRS CB or MasterTop 1815 SRS RG cove base
system consisting of “spooned in” radius and brush on body coat.
2. Trowel-On Cove Base consisting of a trowel applied radius/base mix
with a termination strip installed at the top of the base.
B. Cove base will receive a top coat consistent with flooring system.
A. Measure, add, and mix the MasterTop 1817 SRS PC (MasterTop SRS 17RS
Part A resin and MasterTop SRS 17RS Part B powder component), and
necessary aggregate (if required) in the proportions recommended by the
Material Manufacturer.
09670-9
B. Use mixture to repair any damaged concrete, or to slope any areas as needed.
3.04.4 TOPPING
A. Size the batches, and mix according to Manufacturer's instructions. The entire
batch should be poured and spread at once (i.e. do not let material set in pail).
B. Spread the topping material with a gauge rake set to a depth of 1/8”. Lightly
trowel to a uniform thickness of 1/8” as necessary.
C. Immediately after application, roll with a porcupine roller available from the
Manufacturer to release any trapped air from the topping.
D. Allow the topping to cure.
3.06 CLEANING
A. Applicator shall remove any material spatters and other material that is not
where it should be. Remove masking and covers taking care not to
contaminate surrounding area.
B. Applicator shall repair any damage that should arise from either the application
or clean-up effort.
