1.1.1 This Specification covers materials and procedures
for constructing a polymer overlay for new construction and
for repair and rehabilitation of bridge and parking garage
decks. Type ES polymer overlay incorporates a lowmodulus
epoxy binder, filler, and selected aggregate to
produce a flexible, skid-resistant, and water-resistant overlay.
This Specification includes requirements for chemical
components, aggregates, storage and handling, surface
preparation, surface profile, mixing, placement, finishing,
and quality control.
1.1.2 The provisions of this Specification shall govern
unless otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.
1.1.3 Units—Values are stated in SI units.
