Substrate Preparation: • Substrates must be of load bearing capacity, and free from all potential bond breakers such as sand, dirt, dust, grease, oil, sealers, coatings, marking paint, water repellants, curing compounds, laitance, loose or deteriorated concrete and any bond-inhibiting substances. • Areas designated to receive repairs must remain structurally sound and stable during demolition and surface preparation work, and these conditions must continue throughout the course of the repair work. Any areas of concern or uncertainty should be discussed immediately with the site Superintendent and brought to the attention of the Engineer of record. • Mechanically remove all loose and deteriorated concrete by suitable means such as chipping hammer, chisel, steel shotblast, high pressure water blast (hydroblast) at greater than 5,000 psi, or similar methods. Refer to ICRI Guideline 310.1R-2008. • Areas to receive repairs must have saw cut straight edges with a minimum 1.25” (3.2 cm) depth. • Mechanically prepare surfaces to achieve a surface profile equal to CSP (concrete surface profile) of 5 – 7 per ICRI Guideline No. 310.2R-2013. Steel shot blasting and high pressure water blasting (hydroblasting) at >5,000 psi are the preferred methods. • Prime exposed steel reinforcement with REBAR PRIMER/BOND-CI. Refer to the current REBAR PRIMER/BOND-CI Technical Data Sheet for application instructions including steel reinforcement surface preparation and other important information. • Clean properly prepared concrete surfaces with plenty of water. High pressure water blasting (hydroblasting) is the preferred method of cleaning. Pressure washing is also acceptable when hydroblasting methods are not possible. • All surfaces to be repaired should be saturated surface dry (SSD) but have no standing water immediately before the application of Pavemend DOTLine. Jobsite Conditions & Preparation: • Prepare application area, mixing area, equipment, tools, and crew so that everything is ready to go prior to mixing Pavemend DOTLine. • Mixing area(s) should be located close to each area that will receive repairs. • Only proceed with application when ambient and surface temperatures are at least 40°F (4°C ) and below 120°F (49°C). • For hot weather applications [above 85°F (29°C)], protect mixing and application area from wind and direct sunlight. Provide artificial shade and wind breaks. Keep product containers cool and out of direct sunlight. Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. www.aquafin.net

• For cool weather applications [below 50ºF (10ºC)], provide heat and shelter for cold surfaces in the application area and condition Pavemend DOTLine to 60ºF (16ºC)] prior to mixing for best results. Contact Aquafin Technical Department or your local Aquafin Representative for guidance when installing in temperatures below 50ºF (10ºC). •D o not install Pavemend DOTLine when temperatures are expected to fall below 40°F (4°C ) within 24 hours after placement. • Do not apply Pavemend DOTLine to frozen concrete surfaces. When repairs are required in freezing conditions, ask your local Aquafin Representative about Pavemend SLQTM. Mixing Instructions: Read all instructions thoroughly prior to mixing and application. The use of a Rotating Drum Mixer is preferred when mixing. However, Pavemend DOTLine can also be mixed in a pail using a heavy-duty mixing drill and paddle. Follow corresponding instructions below and do not hand mix Pavemend DOTLine. • Mixing in a Rotating Drum Concrete Mixer: •M ix at least 2 complete units of Pavemend DOTLine at a time. Do not mix partial bags. •U se an accurate measuring container and always carefully measure the water amounts. For Each: Add: 53.5 lb (24.3 kg) unit
2 U.S. quarts (1.9 L) of clean water
• In ambient temperatures, less than 50°F (10°C): use warm water [70°F (21°C) to 90°F (32°C)] for mixing. • In ambient temperatures greater than 85°F (29°C): use cool water [50°F (10°C) to 60°F (16°C)] for mixing. •W orking time can be extended by adding Pavemend SET RETARDANT admixture to the mix water. (See Pavemend SET RETARDANT Technical Data Sheet for more information). 1. P re-wet mixer with clean water. 2. D rain water from mixer (away from repair area). 3. Start mixer. 4. Begin by adding 50% of the total required mix water to the concrete mixer based on the number of units in the batch. For example: If mixing a 2-unit batch, add 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of water (50% of the total required mix water) to the mixer. Page 2 of 4 (06/25/26-EK,SB,MM,AC)

Do not divide and separate units into smaller portions. •U se a heavy-duty drill (6 amp minimum) with a double box mixing blade turning at least 500 to 800 rpm. Drills with speeds greater than 800 rpms may entrain air in the mix. • In ambient temperatures, less than 50°F (10°C): use warm water [70°F (21°C) to 90°F (32°C)] for mixing. • In ambient temperatures greater than 85°F (29°C): use cool water [50°F (10°C) to 60°F (16°C)] for mixing. •W orking time can be extended by adding Pavemend SET RETARDANT admixture to the mix water. (See Pavemend SET RETARDANT Technical Data Sheet for more information). 1. Loosen material in container by tumbling bucket around. 2. U se a drill to blend all dry powder ingredients together in bucket before adding water. Dry blend for 30 seconds. 3. A dd 2 U.S. quarts (1.9 L) of clean water to the bucket while mixing. NOTE: It is very important to rapidly incorporate all of the dry Pavemend DOTLine powders into the water to achieve a uniform wet mixture within the first 60 seconds of mixing. 4. A fter adding the water, mix for 5 minutes. 5. Immediately pour all contents in pail into repair area. 6. R epeat process for next batch of Pavemend DOTLine. 7. P lace material immediately after mixing. Application: • Concrete substrates must be saturated surface dry (SSD), which means damp with no standing water immediately before application of Pavemend DOTLine. • Minimum application thickness of Pavemend DOTLine is 1” (2.5 cm). There are no restrictions to the maximum depth of thickness. • For best results, Aquafin recommends monolithic placement of repair materials. If material must be layered, maintain a minimum thickness of 1” (25 mm) and rake/score top to facilitate a good mechanical bond for next layer. Material must also be layered before final set has been reached. 1. Place Pavemend DOTLine onto properly prepared concrete substrate in a continuous pour starting from one end of the repair area to the other end in each area to be repaired. 2. Spread material quickly using traditional concrete tools such as square tipped shovels or trowels. 3. W ork fast to allow plenty of time for finishing. Finish: • Upon initial set, a broom finish can be applied. • Upon final set, the material can be saw-cut, drilled, sanded and/or polished. • Re-establish all previously existing joints within 1 hour of final set. Protection: • Protect application from rain until product has reached its final set. • Protect from freezing for 24 hours after application. • Protect from pedestrian traffic for at least 1 hour [based on 73°F Check our website for the latest version of the Technical Datasheet. www.aquafin.net
(22°C)]. Add 30 minutes for every 10°F (6°C) drop in temperature. • P rotect from vehicle traffic for at least 2 hours [based on 73°F (22°C)]. Add 30 minutes for every 10°F (6°C) drop in temperature. Curing: • P avemend DOTLine is self-curing and should be “air-cured”. •W ater curing is not required or recommended. • Do not use curing agents. • Allow Pavemend DOTLine to cure for at least 6 hours [based on 73°F (22°C)] prior to applying coatings. Clean-up: •C lean out rotating drum mixer immediately after mixing the last batch. •C lean all tools and other equipment with water prior to the material reaching final set. Cured material must be mechanically removed. Limitations: • Do not apply when surface and ambient temperatures are above 120°F (49°C) or below 40°F (4°C). •D o not add extra water to the mix. Exceeding the water: mix ratio will reduce the strength and performance of Pavemend DOTLine. •D o not re-temper or use additional water during the finishing process. The addition of excess water will negatively affect the materials final properties. •D o not add sand, aggregate, cement, accelerators, or other ingredients to the mix. • Do not add admixtures to the mix (other than Pavemend SET RETARDANT). •D o not bridge moving cracks or joints. •C oncrete repair products are not designed to color-match existing concrete surfaces. In addition, jobsite conditions including temperature, humidity, and air movement can create color variations within the application of the same unit of Pavemend DOTLine. • P avemend DOTLine will not adhere to concrete surfaces with resin coatings, polymer sealers, or to similar concrete surfaces with reduced porosity, or no porosity.
