MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II APPLICATION PROCEDURES

To be performed by a Registered Trained Applicator

IDENTIFY

Indications of moisture migration on bare concrete surfaces: Spalling, structural cracks and joints, dusting, efflorescence and alkali. Mats or boxes left on floor become wet or damp in a short period of time.

Indications of moisture migration in concrete where flooring materials have been installed.

Warping, curling, cracking, seam separation, discoloration, mold or mildew. Bubbling, peeling, a lumpy surface, or cracks visible through flooring materials. Efflorescence or alkali present at flooring joints and chemical attack on the adhesive bond.

TESTING

There are many tests which are applicable prior to the application of MFSII. The ones most practical for non-destructive testing are: ASTM D4263 - Mat Test, a Dew Point Hygrometer may be used in conjunction to obtain quantitative results. The electrical probe, and the anhydrous calcium chloride test. All are applicable PRIOR to the application of MFSII. Humidity and temperature play a key role in the test results.

CONCRETE SUBSTRATE PREPARATION

Remove any existing flooring materials, finishes, wax, grease, surface sealers, paints, floor adhesives or any other materials. Beadblast, scarify, or sandblast to expose an adsorptive surface. Acid etching is not acceptable and not effective.

CRACKS & EXPANSION JOINTS

Cracks, structural cracks, saw cuts, and expansion joints must be repaired. MOXIE 2000 Super Patch is required. Refer to the MOXIE 2000 Super Patch Technical Specifications sheet. Cracks under 1/4" in width must be ‘V’ grooved to provide adequate bond.

Perform the penetration test.

Apply two applications of MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II, full strength, according to the following:

Apply the first coat of MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II using a low pressure Hudson sprayer or by pouring and brooming, evenly over the concrete substrate. Apply second application when the surface appears to have a dry look.

Do not to leave any puddling in low areas of the concrete. Product must absorb evenly and dry to the touch within 45 minutes. If allowed to cure in low areas MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II will become very hard and difficult to remove. Brooming around from the low to high areas with a stiff bristle broom will ensure even absorption.

Mist with clean clear water immediately after the second application has dried. Proper and complete absorption will indicate an even, drying look.

After 24 hours saturate thoroughly with clean clear water. Broom out any puddling. After 36 hours proceed with the ASTM D4263 - Plastic Sheet Test. Refer to MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II - TESTING PROCEDURES.

ASTM D4263 - Plastic Sheet Test

Due to the chemical properties of MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II, the only applicable test is this ASTM test. A Dew Point Hygrometer may be used in conjunction with the plastic sheet to provide quantitative results. If there is no dampness, discoloration, or damp odor, after 72 hours, flooring may be installed.

The following tests are not applicable AFTER the concrete has been sealed with MOXIE FLOORING SEALANT II and may not be used.

A. The calcium chloride test is not acceptable and will remove approximately 50% of the moisture from the 1" top of the concrete making this area void of the necessary moisture to complete the chemical process.

B. An electrical conductivity or probe test is not acceptable. The problem moisture is initially converted into a colloidal gel which will indicate a flow of current. In many cases this colloidal gel may indicate an erroneously high reading.

Perform a pH test to confirm compatibility with adhesives. Ensure adhesive to be used is suitable for a NON-POROUS, IMPERMEABLE and NON-ABSORPTIVE SURFACE. Additionally, comply with adhesive manufacturers requirement for proper trowel notch depth, width and spacing.
