Epoxy Installation Instructions


                   Overview

                          The following section details the procedure recommended by Enviroguard
                          for the application of the epoxy protective coating system to horizontal
                          concrete.  In cases where there is a procedure difference between this
                          and any other specification or standard referred to, both the other
                          specifications’ author and Enviroguard should be consulted.  The
                          applicator should review this specification and consult Enviroguard
                          regarding its interpretation, disapproval or request for procedure changes.
                          Deviations from this specification should be discussed and agreed to by
                          Enviroguard.

                          The coating material manufacturer’s current product data sheet is to be
                          used in conjunction with and become a part of this manual.  The applicator
                          should adhere to all accommodations of product shelf life, mixing ratios
                          and acceptable thinners.  The applicator should use industry standard
                          inspection equipment, quality control and inspection policies in regards to
                          the application of this product.

                          It is the responsibility of the applicator to adhere to industry standard
                          application and inspection procedures for record keeping purposes.  The
                          coating system is to be applied in a minimum of a nominal film thickness
                          of 30 mils.

                          It is the applicator’s responsibility to compute and supply adequate
                          ventilation to prevent toxicity hazard conditions as prescribed by standards
                          of good safety practices, local and  state regulations, OSHA and other
                          federal regulations.

                          NOTE: Epoxy floor coating cannot be used for tile applications.  Tiled
                          floors must be removed and concrete must meet the specifications
                          given below prior to application of epoxy floor coating.

                   Material Information

                          Material shall be SEMSTONE 140 as manufactured by Enviroguard.

                          Store materials in an approved area within a temperature range of 70 to
