SAMPLE SPECIFICATIONS & TECHNICAL ARTICLES
This area contains technical publications and sample specifications. It is provided on a complimentary basis to assist the design/specification
professional in preparing specifications involving advanced materials for restoration and coating of concrete and masonry substrates.
Section 3133 Concrete Repair, based on SYSTEM 44, is a detailed concrete restoration specification, intended primarily for deck and horizontal concrete surface repair. It is
organized in a Section 3133 Concrete Repair format. The specification provides for such options as factory supervision/inspection of work in various stages, as well as for
product customization. Review these options carefully, and determine how these issues relate to the particular project before including them in any project specifications. The preparation section includes references to ICRI (International Concrete Repair Institute)
guidelines for removal and detailing involving existing unsound materials. Copies of technical guideline #03730 may be obtained from ICRI by calling the institute at 703-450
-0116 during normal east coast US business hours, or visit ICRI on line at http://www.icri.org.
Section 4065 Masonry Mortar (For Repointing).
Section 4065 Masonry Mortar, is a complete repointing specification based on Spec-Joint 46 prepackaged, custom-matched, lime-based repointing mortars.
Section 4902 Clay Masonry Restoration, based on Custom SYSTEM 45 patching compounds, Thin-Fill 55 Reprofiling Mortar, Spec-Joint 46 repointing mortars, and
various auxiliaries. NOTE: Projects of this type can be extremely diverse in regard to conditions, objectives and options for execution. For this reason, the spec should be
seen as a starting point only, and careful consideration should be given to the unique requirements of each project. Edison Coatings welcomes the opportunity to offer job-specific input as well.
Section 7700 Traffic Topping,based on FLEXI-DECK 500 traffic topping. This traffic
topping specification includes several different possible combinations of coatings, depending on traffic and temperature exposures. Edison Coatings encourages specifiers

SPEC-JOINT 46 Type N Repointing Mortar in Conjunction with EZ Spred Mortar
Admixture Laboratory Results for Evaluation of SPEC-JOINT 46 Type N Repointing Mortar in Conjunction with EZ Spred Mortar Admixture (by others), to Aid in Mechanical, High
-Volume Repointing. Detailed data on compressive strength and shrinkage are presented, based on work performed at the State University of New York at Buffalo,
Ellicott Complex. The admixture was tested for use in improving the flow characteristics of SPEC-JOINT 46 mortar through a Thin Line pump, to place repointing mortar at high
production rates. The conclusion was that Spec Joint 46N performed better when the additive was not used.
