Tech Tip:
Surface Preparation
The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) has created a technical guideline #03732, "Selecting and specifying concrete surface preparation for sealers, coatings, and polymer overlays." This guideline provides concrete surface profiles of CSP 3 to 9 which are used under the following conditions.
• For coating applications from 4-5 mils in thickness, the surface profile shall be a CSP 3.
This is known as a light shotblast.
• For coating applications from 15-50 mils in thickness, the surface profile shall be a CSP 4 or 5.
This is known as a medium shotblast.
• For coating applications from 40 mils to 1/8" in thickness, the surface profile shall be a CSP 5 or 6.
This is known as a medium-heavy shotblast.
• For topping applications from 1/4" to 1/2", the surface profile shall be a CSP 6 or 7.
This is known as a heavy shotblast.
