5 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

5.1 Concrete Flooring with oil/chemical resistant epoxy paint


This part covers epoxy floor screed with high compressive strengths, high abrasive resistance and
good chemical resistance.
5.1.1 Surface Preparation
After concreting, the floor surfaces to be coated or treated shall be thoroughly prepared
mechanically by removing concrete latency, grout and fine mortar coats to free the core concrete,
which is capable of carrying the coating.
When applying the first part of the coating system (primer), the moisture of concrete must not be
more than 4%.
When applying the coats, the surface to be coated must further be dry and dust-free. Sand being
used for cleaning has to be thoroughly removed (also from trays and deepening), oil stains (on
machines) have to be removed. In case compressed air is used for blowing off, it must be free of
oil and water.
Coating works shall in general be carried out as recommended by the manufacturer.
5.1.2 Application of Primer
The surfaces to be coated shall be dry, dust and oil-free. The primer shall be of a non-pigmented,
solvent-free two-component material), based on modified epoxy resins and subject to
TAQA/ADDC/AADC’s approval. It shall be applied by spraying (air or airless) or by roller as
well as by brush.
Maximum air and / or surface temperature for application should not exceed + 40 oC, and the
relative humidity should in no case exceed 85%. Approx. 400 g/m2 pure material shall be applied,
depending on the absorptive capacity of the substrate.
If required, holes, broken-out parts, unevenness etc., shall be repaired with a solvent-free and
pigmented epoxy mortar. This mortar shall be mixed according to the film thickness required.
5.2 Concrete Flooring with non-slip epoxy paint
This part covers epoxy floor screed for external areas with non-slip properties.

5.3 Concrete Floors with Dust proof sealer
This part covers concrete floors with a dust binding coating.
5.3.1 Floor Hardeners
For normally loaded areas and where specified, the top surfaces of fresh concrete floors shall be
hardened by application of an approved hardening compound. The method and rate of application
shall be in accordance with the Manufacturer's recommendations.
5.3.2 Dust Sealer
Where specified, and for areas below the false floors, the surfaces of concrete floors shall further
be treated with an approved dust binding coating compound. The method and rate of application
shall be in accordance with the Manufacturer's recommendations.
5.4 Repair of Existing Concrete Floors
Where required, existing floors shall be repaired as follows:
• Protect all surrounding mechanical and electrical equipment dust-proof
• Remove weak and any loose parts of the screed with wire brush plus spatula, or by means of light
sand-blasting (if so, decided by TAQA/ADDC/AADC)
• Sweep off all loose material, utilise vacuum cleaner
• Apply two-pack epoxy floor paint, containing solvents (first colourless epoxy primer, second two
times epoxy topcoat, both polyamide cured)
• For crates and holes larger than 0.3 mm, on the other hand, use a two-pack solvent free epoxy resin,
colourless, usage approx. 400 g/m2, depending on the absorptive capacity of the concrete
• After approximately 10-15 minutes work ‘wet-on-wet’ to fill cracks and holes with a two-pack
solvent-free epoxy resin mortar 1:1 by volume with silica sand 0 - 0.3 mm
• Where the reinforced concrete structure is damaged to such an extent that the reinforcement is already
attacked by corrosion, reinforcement shall be exposed and the concrete as well as the steel shall be
repaired by methods suggested at an early Contract stage and subject to approval by
TAQA/ADDC/AADC.
5.5 Concrete Walls, Plastered Walls and Ceilings
