SECTION 09 96 59
HIGH-BUILD GLAZE COATINGS
04/06
NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for epoxy-polyamide,
polyurethane, and epoxy polyester high performance, architectural wall coating
systems for interior and exterior surfaces.
Edit this guide specification for project specific requirements by adding, deleting,
or revising text. For bracketed items, choose applicable items(s) or insert
appropriate information.
Remove information and requirements not required in respective project, whether
or not brackets are present.
Comments and suggestions on this guide specification are welcome and should
be directed to the technical proponent of the specification. A listing of technical
proponents, including their organization designation and telephone number, is
on the Internet.
Recommended changes to a UFGS should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request

NOTE: Except for moisture-curing polyurethane, they are two-component systems
and contain fillers that help provide the high-build. They are intended for
application to concrete, masonry, plaster or wallboard, and also may be used
on wood, metal, or fiberglass. The coatings are available in gloss or semigloss
and are sometimes called tile-like coatings or liquid glaze coatings. Some
of the coatings are high in Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). The specifier
must ensure that selected products do not exceed allowable VOC requirements.

PART 2 PRODUCTS
2.1 WALL COATING SYSTEM
2.1.1 Filler Material
As recommended by the coating system manufacturer.
2.1.2 Primers
As recommended by the coating system manufacturer.
2.1.3 Top Coating
NOTE: Select wall coatings compatible with the surfaces they are to cover and
in accordance with:
1. High Performance Architectural Coatings (HIPAC). They are tough, durable,
organic systems applied to a continuous (seamless) high-build film and cure
to a hard glaze finish. They are resistant to continuous heat and humidity,
abrasion, staining, chemicals, and biological growth. They are used in areas
where high humidity, wear, or unusual chemical resistance requirements, particularly
to soiling, are required, and where strong detergents are used to maintain sanitary
conditions. Stall showers, public halls and stairways, lavatories, locker areas,
animal pens, and biological laboratories are typical areas where these coatings
are recommended. Other areas of use are in food processing, dairies, restaurants,
schools, and air terminals. HIPAC systems should be used only as complete systems,
and as recommended by the manufacturer. Minimum dry film thickness is 0.075
mm 3 mils for each of two coats. Furnished in Gloss, and Semigloss.
These coatings are for interior use and are formulated with any one of the following
resins: Epoxy-polyamide, epoxy polyester, or aliphatic or aromatic polyurethane
resins:
a. Epoxy-polyamide - chemical- and corrosion-resistant, adhesive, alkali-resistant,
water-tolerant.
b. Epoxy-polyester - chemical-resistant, abrasion-and impact-resistant, fire-resistant,
low odor.
c. Aliphatic or aromatic polyurethane - flexible, abrasion- and impact-resistant.
2. Two component, epoxy-polyamide for interior use. For metal, wood, concrete,
masonry surfaces, and painted surfaces where high gloss or glaze type finish,
extreme workability and resistance to abrasion and stains is desired. Particularly
useful for hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and hospitals where maintenance
of sanitary conditions is important. Minimum dry film thickness is 0.075 mm
3 mils for each of two coats. Maximum volatile organic compounds (VOC) to
be 340 grams/liter.
3. FS TT-C-542. Single component, moisture-curing urethane. For floors, walls,
machinery, equipment and other surfaces where good abrasion resistance, color
retention, gloss retention, graffiti resistance and good resistance to acids,
alkalis, solvents, strong cleaners and sanitizers, fuel and chemicals are necessary.
Can also be used on concrete floors, brick and masonry surfaces (properly conditioned),
metals (properly primed), and wood (properly prepared and sealed.) Minimum
dry film thickness is 0.075 mm 3 mils for each of 3 coats. The coatings come
in two types and each type in two classes. Type I, Aliphatic, is recommended
for exterior use and Type II, Aromatic, for interior use. Type I, however,
is not applicable to oily or resinous exterior wood surfaces.
a. High Performance Architectural Coating, [Epoxy-Polyamide][Epoxy-Polyester][Polyurethane][,
Gloss][, Semigloss]
b. Two component, epoxy-polyamide for interior use.
c. FS TT-C-542, Single Component, Moisture-curing Urethane,[Type I: [Class A clear] [Class
B pigmented]] [Type II: [Class A clear] [Class B pigmented]]

NOTE: Indicate colors on the finish schedule. When colors are identified by
a manufacturer's name and designation, include the optional sentence in brackets.
If the "architectural finishes display board" is used, it must be on display
in the office of the Contracting Officer. The architectural display board should
be used only to supplement the information contained on the drawings.
Top coating colors shall be [as indicated] [and] [as shown on the architectural finishes display board]. [Colors
indicated by reference to manufacturer's name and designations are for color identification only and are not
intended to limit selection of other manufacturer's products with similar colors.]
2.3 SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL
2.3.1 Top Coat Testing
NOTE: Choose one of the following options.
[High Performance Architectural Coating: Abrasion resistance with 100 mg maximum loss, scrubability, resistance
to heat and humidity, and impact resistance tests.]
[Epoxy-polyamide: abrasion resistance and steam resistance tests.]
[FS TT-C-542 abrasion resistance and resistance to water tests [and, for Type I, Class A and Class B, resistance
to accelerated weathering test, for loss of gloss, and chalking (Class B), with continuous exposure to light
and intermittent exposure to water spray].]
PART 3 EXECUTION
