ICRI Guideline 310.2-1997
Surface Preparation
Selecting and Specifying Concrete Surface
Preparation for Sealers, Coatings and Polymer
Overlays
Purpose of This
Guideline
Provides designers, specifiers, contractors and
manufactures with the tools they need to select
and specify methods for preparing concrete
surfaces prior to the application of sealers,
coatings and polymer overlay systems.
ICRI Guideline 310.2-1997
Surface Preparation
Sealers, Coatings & Polymer Overlays

Who is this guideline for?

• Designers
– Provides a method to determine project objectives and requirements
• Specifiers
– Provides selector chart of methods to achieve each coating type
– Provides replicas of typical surfaces for on-site standards
• Contractors
– Provides information on the results of various methods of preparation
– Provides on-site visual to verify surface preparation has been completed
• Manufacturers
– Provides a visual standard for desired surface preparation for a
particular product.
ICRI Guideline 310.2-1997
Surface Preparation
Sealers, Coatings & Polymer Overlays

What is covered?
• A workbook designed to organize and prioritize
information needed for good selection decisions.
• A chart which identifies methods capable of production the
profile typically recommended for each coating type.
• Presents capabilities, limitations, operating requirements,
environmental factors, and safety consideration for each
method of surface preparation.
• Surface Profile Chips – Replicas of typical surfaces
produced by one or more of the methods providing a
visual standard for purposes of specification, execution
and verification.
