PART 2.0 PRODUCTS

2.1 MATERIALS

A. Waterproofing materials needed for this system shall be cementitious

powder, consisting of 38 active chemicals, wherein crystals are formed
once in contact with water. These crystals will follow the water through
15 Inches of solid concrete structure, thus filling the voids and capillary
tracts with their crystalline, resulting in the prevention of seepage of water
in the area while still allowing the substrate to breathe. Use (PRODUCT)as
distributed by Man’s Work Trading or approved equal.

B. The waterproofing effect is produced by the active chemicals in the

(PRODUCT) coating that reacts with the free lime of the concrete, hence,
producing a non-soluble crystal. The crystallization process in the
capillaries produces a barrier from water and thus (PRODUCT) becomes
an integral part of the structure. (PRODUCT) is effective in any direction
of water or osmotic pressure, which means it may be applied to either
Internal or external surface. However, wherever possible, it Is preferable
to apply (PRODUCT) to the surface with which water is in direct contact.
This will create an accelerated rate of penetration and crystallization into
the concrete structure.

PART 3.0 EXECUTION

3.1 SURFACE PREPARATION:

A. All concrete must be structurally sound. All forms of scale, oil, form release
agents, laltance, and any foreign materials, which will Impair the bond,
penetration, and performance of the (PRODUCT) waterproofing must be

blasting, if necessary. Rout visible cracks exceeding 0.01'' in size 314 ''
deep, also honeycomb pockets and faulty construction joints. Form tie
holes shall be left approximately 1'' back of surface. Rinse all surfaces
thoroughly with water the day prior to the application. All surfaces to
receive integral (capillary) waterproofing shall be poured to slope to drain
to avoid additional concrete for leveling screed.

B. Moisture must be present in the concrete strata to assure maximum

chemical penetration. Surfaces shall be moist only, not wet when
(PRODUCT) coating is applied.

previously plastered.

C. Before plaster or stucco work is started, wet masonry and concrete

surfaces thoroughly with a fine fog spray of clean water to produce a
uniformly moist condition. Check metal grounds, corner beads, screeds,
and other accessories carefully for alignment before the work is started.
Check expansion and control joints and supporting metal structures to
ensure that expansion and control joints can move unrestrained.

3.2 APPLICATION OF PLASTER AND STUCCO:

A. GENERAL: Plaster and stucco may be applied by hand or by machine.

When a plastering machine is used, the fluidity of Portland cement plaster
and stucco shall be controlled to have a slump of not more than 2 1/2-
inches when tested using a 2-by 4-by 6-inch high slump cone. Subsequent
to determining water content to meet this slump, do not add additional water
to the mix. Conduct the slump test according to the following procedure.

(1) Place cone on level, dry, non-absorptive base plate.

(2) While holding cone firmly against base plate, fill cone with plaster taken
directly from the hose or nozzle of the plastering machine, tamping with
a metal road during filling to release air bubbles.

(3) Screed off plaster level with top of cone. Remove cone by lighting it
straight up with a slow and smooth motion.

(4) Place cone in a vertical position adjacent to freed plaster sample, using
care not to jiggle base plate.

(5) Lay a straightedge across top of cone, again being careful not to vibrate
cone. Measure slump in inches from the bottom edge of the
straightedge to the top of the slumped plaster sample.

B. WORKMANSHIP: Apply plaster and stucco in three coats, except as

follows:
Provide scratch coat, or scratch coat with leveling coat as backing for
ceramic tile. Apply base coats with sufficient pressure and plaster and
stucco shall be sufficiently plastic to provide a good bond to bases. Work
base coats into screeds at interval of 5-to 8-feet. Plaster shall not be
continuous across expansion and control joints occurring in walls,

ID 418 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INTERIOR DESIGN

partitions, and ceilings. Plaster work shall be finished level, plumb square,
and true, within a tolerance of 1/8 inch in 8 feet, without waves, cracks,
blisters, pits, crazing, discoloration, projections, or other imperfections.
Form plaster work carefully around angles and contours, and well-up to
screeds. Special care shall be taken to prevent sagging and consequent
dropping of applications. There shall be no visible junction marks in finish
coat where one day’s work adjoins another. Plastered surfaces to which
vinyl or wood base boards will be applied shall extend to ground, indicated
as backing for base. Plaster will not be required behind built-in cabinets and
equipment.

3.3 PORTLAND CEMENT PLASTER AND STUCCO: Apply base coats with
sufficient pressure to curl the keys around the back of metal lath or wire
fabric and to provide good bond on masonry or concrete bases.

A. PLASTER AND STUCCO EXCEPT SCRATCH COAT FOR CERAMIC

TILE BACKING: Apply in three coats to a thickness of not less than 7/8
Inch. Apply the scratch coat not less than 3/8-inch thick, lightly score
horizontally, and moist cure for not less than 24 hours. Apply the brown
coat after the scratch coat has been aged at least 24 hours in addition
to the moist curing period. Apply the brown coat to bring the base coat
out to the screeds, compact and straighten to a true surface with rod
and darby, and float to receive the finish coat. After the brown coat has
been moist cured for not less than 24 hours and aged at least an
additional 5 days, apply the finish coat to a thickness of not less than
1/8 inch. Where any previous coat has become dry, dampen the
surface evenly with water, prior to the application of the next coat.

The finish coat for plaster shall have a trowelled finish. Finish coat for
stucco shall be of the color and texture selected. Moisten plaster and
stucco for 24 hours using fine fog spray of water and apply to the finish
coat as frequently as required to prevent dry-out of the plaster or
stucco. Do not saturate the plaster and stucco to the point where free
water stands on the surface. Prevent staining of the finish coat. Provide
moist curing.

B. SCRATCH COAT FOR CERAMIC TILE BACKING: Apply scratch coat

and keep continuously damp for not less than 24 hours before tile is to
be set. Scratch coat shall be applied in the thickness indicated or as
necessary to bring the face of the tile to the required plane, but not
less than 1/4 Inch from the face of the material it is being applied to,
and with a level surface within a tolerance of 1/4 Inch In 8 feet. Apply
scratch coat after substantial grounds, plugs, hangers, and other such
accessories have been installed for plumbing fixtures, electrical outlets,

ID 418 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INTERIOR DESIGN

and other fixtures and fittings have been installed that are to be secured
to tiled surfaces. Apply scratch coat with sufficient pressure to ensure
a proper bond and key with the base and a proper base for the setting
bed. While the mortar is still plastic, cut the scratch coat with a trowel
at internal vertical angles to the depth of the coat for the full height of
the tile bed. Score horizontally or on one-inch centers for the extent of
the tile bed. Score horizontally or cross-scratch on coats within one
hour after mixing, and at no time shall the mortar be re-tempered.
Protect scratch coat and keep moist during curing period. A leveling
coat of the same mix specified for the scratch coat when the surface of
the scratch coat is not level within the specified tolerance or when a
base coat thickness of more than 3.4 inch is required. Scratch leveling
coat and cure for not less than 24 hours.

3.4 PATCHING AND POINTING

on different stair finishes for approval.

PART 2.0 PRODUCTS

2.1 MATERIAL: Material shall be thin liquid, ready for use, combined decorative,
water repellant and wood preserving stain, which soaks into softwood,
hardwood, etc., and emphasizes the grain and natural characteristics of the
wood. It shall be a solvent-based decorative treatment that dries to a silk-
matte finish. Use Xyladecor decorative wood preservative as manufactured
by Bayer/Pacific Paint & Oil Manufacturing on all exposed wood materials,
such as T & G eaves, posts, window and door frames and other exposed wood
parts, including indigenous materials as indicated.

2.2 PROPERTIES

A. Water repellent: provides protection against wood rotting fungi, wood-

boring insects, mold and sap (blue) satin. The XYLADECOR type U473
ensures In addition preventive protection against TERMITE attack (test
certificate available upon request).

B. Pigments are non-obliterating and light fast .

C. As XYLADECOR does not form a surface coating it cannot peel, crack,

flake or blister.

D. The moisture regulating properties of XYLADECOR permit the evaporation

of excess moisture from the wood without impairing the efficiency or
appearance of the treatment.

2.3 FLAMMABILITY: Flash point Is above 55 C (131°F). During handling and

application keep away from naked flames and lights. When dry, there is no

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INTERIOR DESIGN

3.2 APPLICATION

A. Do not use knotting, primers or undercoats. Apply directly to bare wood.

B. Apply by brush, spray or by dipping in an open trough or tank to achieve the

total covering rate (or loading).

C. Thoroughly shake the can before and during use. Keep the fluid in tanks,
troughs and cans stirred during use.

D. By brush: Apply in at least two full brush coats laying the XYLADECOR on to
the wood rather than brushing out (as for example, with paint). Leave each
coat for about 30 minutes, depending on the weather, absorption rate, etc.,
and lightly brush or wipe over once In the direction of the grain to remove
excess material and to smooth out any runs.

E. By dipping: Dip the timber in the preservative for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes varying
the time required according to the absorbency of the wood (due to moisture
content, species, etc.). Stand the timber on end and allow to drain. If
necessary, lightly brush the surface once In the direction of the grain before
it is dry. After fixing the timber in site, apply a further coat of the preservative
to the exposed external faces of brush.

F. By spray: Use a coarse nozzle (about 1.5 mm giving a stream of material

rather than a fine atoming type paint spray). Use at a working pressure of
approximately 3.1 kg / sq.cm. (44 lbs. / sq.in.). Apply the material in a similar
manner to (D) above. Spraying is not generally recommended for planed
surfaces.

G. If a very even color finish is requested on wood with varying degrees of

absorbency, apply colorless before treatment with pigmented preservative.
Colorless is not recommended for use on its own on woodwork exposed to
weathering. It will not prevent the gradual graying of wood, even with tropical
hardwoods.

H. Softwood outside: Apply pigmented preservative in at least 2 coats. If

necessary, apply once for pre-treatment.

I. Hardwood outside: Apply pigmented preservative at least 3 coats; these

woods take up only a small amount of material per application. No pre-
treatment with colorless.

J. Wood inside: Apply one or several coats, depending on the color effect
desired. Mixtures with colorless are possible in any ratio.

K. Exterior doors: Apply pigmented preservative in at least 3 coats. The color

shades Teak, Nut-tree, Mahogany, and Chestnut are preferred.

L. Wood subjected to severe weathering: Three coats of pigmented preservative

are required since a minimum amount of pigment is necessary to protect the

ID 418 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Bachelor of Science in Interior Design - University of San Agustin, Iloilo
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INTERIOR DESIGN

timber surface against the adverse effect of sunlight.

M. Strongly resinous wood: Prior to treatment, it Is recommended to wash down

surface with nitro-thinner.

N. Exposed end-grains shall be protected against penetration of water by

applying several coatings of preservative or of a varnish in same color tone.
When using on external timber cladding of naturally colored wood adjacent to
plaster or masonry surfaces beneath, care should be taken to apply the
material very carefully on all sides, including sealing of the end-grain with a
pigmented varnish (at least two coats). This is to prevent the natural dyes
contained in the wood to be washed out, run down or stain adjacent surfaces.
XYLADECOR, however, is not subject to leaching or washing out when
completely dry; there is no risk of adjacent surface being stained.

0. Close cans and cover dipping tanks well after use. In case of longer standstills,
fill back into tightly closed containers. Partly-used cans have a limited life.

3.3 DRYING TIME

A. 1 to 2 days

B. Warm, dry weather and conditions, where there is a good air movement, will
accelerate drying.

C. Cold, damp conditions and badly ventilated areas will retard drying, as will
excessively damp and absorption-resistant wood.

3.4 MOISTURE CONTENT: Preservative may be used on wood with a moisture

content of up to 25% on softwood and 20% on hardwood. To ensure dimensional
stability of windows, moisture content should not exceed 15%.

3.5 ODOR: After drying and airing, preservative must be odorless.

3.6 ADJACENT MATERIALS

A. Preservative should not corrode nor adversely affect metals, masonry, brick,
plaster, etc., but splashes should be removed with white spirit whilst wet to
prevent staining.
B. Cover polystyrene and similar plastic materials to prevent damage and
staining.

3.7 GLUE

A. Preservative should not upset existing glue lines.

B. Wood treated with preservative may be glued after the preservative is

completely dry. Because differing factors (such as types of glue, variable
drying periods caused by differing uptake of preservative etc.) may influence
the efficiency of the glue bond, a trial is strongly recommended In cases of

ID 418 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Bachelor of Science in Interior Design - University of San Agustin, Iloilo
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INTERIOR DESIGN

uncertainty.

3.8 FILLERS: XYLADECOR can be applied to plastic wood, exterior quality stopper
and conventional wood fillers.

3.9 CARE OF EQUIPMENT

A. Clean brushes, spray equipment etc., immediately after use with white spirits,
turps substitute or similar material.

B. Do not let preservative dry off on equipment or material lines.

3.10 BLEACHED FINISH: Use wood bleach solution #1 and 2, Nation, as

manufactured by Pacific Paint and Oil Manufacturing, prior to application of 3
coats decorative for all exterior woodworks. (Group B).

3.11 USE ON WOOD PREVIOUSLY PAINTED, CREOSOTED, ETC.

Preservative may be used on wood, which has been painted, varnished,

creosoted, etc., provided the following points are observed:

1. Painted or varnished wood: All surface coatings and primers must first be
completely removed by chemical stripper and/or by sanding or burning, taking
care not to scorch the wood. It is good practice to lightly scrape the wood
surface, thus exposed after stripping surface coats, to remove ingrained
particles of paint and varnish.

2. Surface coatings left on the wood will impair the effect and efficiency of
preservative.

3. If in any doubt, apply to a trial area first.

Creosoted or preservative-stained wood: Wood previously treated with

creosote or tai-oil-type products may be treated with preservative provided
they have weathered. The darker preservative colors are usually preferred in
such cases. Where it is intended to use lighter colors, and in cases where the
creosote etc., has not “weathered out” to a great extent, apply preservative
first to a trial area.

Wood treated with other proprietary brands of wood preservative again which
has “weathered out” may generally be treated with preservative, but in cases
of doubt a trial application is recommended.

3.12 USE OF VACUUM PRESSURE-TREATED WOOD

A. Where it is intended to use preservative on timber, which has been treated by

a vacuum pressure preservative and/or salt-type flame retardant system
(including double vacuum systems), this is suitable subject to the moisture
content of the wood at the time of treatment. (See heading 7)

B. The use of preservative on timber, which has been treated by a vacuum

ID 418 PROJECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
Bachelor of Science in Interior Design - University of San Agustin, Iloilo
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
INTERIOR DESIGN

pressure preservative, will be satisfactory, provided that oil-type

preservatives have been used or those types of salt, which are fixed to the
wood fiber. The use of preservative on exterior timber, which has been treated
with ‘mobile’ salts, is not recommended because discoloration can be
expected.

3.13 OVERPAINTING: Preservative need not, but may be overpainted when dry with
normal paint systems, polyurethane and clean varnishes. In these cases, the
moisture content of the wood at the time of overpainting should not exceed 15%.

3.14 SURFACES SUBJECTED TO MECHANICAL WEAR AFTER TREATMENT OF

PRESERVATIVE: Surfaces, such as floor, stairs, doors and chairs, etc., subject
to mechanical wear should be over-coated with a final coat of clear polyurethane
varnish.

3.15 COLOR RANGE

A. All colors may be intermixed by first shaking or stirring to mix.

B. The darker the self-color of the wood to which preservative is applied, the
darker is the finished color tone after treatment.

C. Always apply on a trial area first to see the color obtained.

D. Lighter colors may be obtained by mixing Colorless with any of the preservative
colors. These should be used on internal surfaces only.

E. Do not dilute with solvents.

3.16 PRECAUTIONS: For wood protection, use in accordance with the manufacturers’
instructions only. Misuse will create health hazards! Store away from all
foodstuff and animal feed in a place inaccessible to children. Do not fill into eating,
drinking or cooking vessels.

It is recommended that impermeable protective gloves and protective clothing,

tight fitting goggles and a respirator are worn during spraying.

Treated timber is harmless to humans and domestic animal (but avoid contact
with unpacked foodstuff and animal feed). Do not treat wood intended for use in
bee-houses or the Interior of green-houses. Do not wet plant-life. Provide for
ample ventilation before treated stables are reoccupied. During storage and
application observe any statutory regulation and ground/surface water
contamination.
