Taylor Engineering - ' VIA FAX . ~ . ~ SUBJECT: Spokane Industrial Park , Sidewalk Ramps - Deviation from County Standards . Gentl en: We have reviewed your submittal of the SAFTI-TRAX detectable warning system for use in the public right-of-way at this location, in lieu of constructing the sidewalk ramp to County standards. Based on our concerns about (1) adhesion to a relatively porous asphalt surface; (2) the apparent lack of resistance to damage from snow removal equipment (as well as the costs of maintenance and repair, and the ability to effect repairs under inclement weather conditions), and the County's liability exposure; and (3) the lack of any warranty from an installer, this system does not appear to be acceptable for use in the public traveled way in the County, or on private traveled ways which may be required to meet County standards. I will inform the County's inspector that the contractor will need to take the necessary corrective action to ensure that the work in question will meet County standards. You may forward this information to the contractor, also. Should there be any other issues on this project, please call at 6-3600 to establish a mutually convenient time to meet and discuss your questions. /gae Sincerely, ~ William A. Johns, P.E.

E. Taylor Engineering, inc. 106 Mission Avenue, Suite 206 Spokane, WA 99201 Dear Scott: It was a pleasure speaking with you again today. To reiterate that which we , the following should sufficiently answer the questions you faxed to me last Friday: a. Manufacturer's Address and Telephone Number: (as per letterhead above~ b. Sample af-he Product: ~ T e enclosed blue SAFTI-TRAX sample is on plywood, for convenience. ever, he DURABAK coating which bonds the system to the substrate wil d to virtually all surfaces. c. Is the material rated for exterior use? SAFTI-TRAX is excellently rated for use indoors or outdoors. It is UV resistant and can withstand temperatures ranging between -60°F and +225°F, and humidity levels between 0 and 100%. It is not affected by either rain nor snow and ice. In fact, as the DURABAK surface is non-porus, ice will not adhere to the surface, making it very easy to remove any accumulation of ice there may be. DURABAK has successfuly been applied and maintained on snowmobiles in the Antartica. (Please refer to accompanying letter.) d. Where is the product currently in use? How is it performing? Who can we contact to discuss their experience with the proposed material? SAFTI-TRAX is in use in various locations nationwide. The New Jersey DOT has tested and spec'd SAFTI-TRAX for installation on all their repaving projects in the State. (See accompanying letter.) The person to contact is David Bizuga, Design i , . . Standards and Services, NJDOT, at (609) 530-5273. e. What sort of long-term warranty wiii be provided to the County by the manufacturer? COTE-L Industries guarantees its product against faulty manufacture and defective materials. These products are sold in accordance with stringent factory testing on each product batch. However, because COTE-L cannot control directly, indirectly or continuously where and how its products are applied and used, it will not accept any liability whatsoever arising from the use of its products, even if used in accordance with specifications given. f. SAFTI-TRAX complies with the dimensional requirements established in the ADA guidelines for detectable warnings. (See attached sheets.) Should you require additional information, please let me know. I shall look forward to hearing from you. Regards, COTE-L INDUSTRIES, INC.

Dear Dr. Fine: I just wanted to take the time to relay my assessment of a recent application of your product on our loading dock #2 in our Trexlertown facility. Loading - dock #2 has always been a-source of safety concerns due to its inherit slippery floor surface when wet due to rain and snow conditions. Over the past three months or since the application of Durabak, we have not.received a single report of any near-miss accidents due to slippery floors on dock #2. Another desirable quality of the Durabak, in addition to its non-skid properties, is the floor appears to be quite tough and resilient. The heavy - daily activity of loading and unloading trucks are providing a good test of its durability. In the past we were using a paint and grit mixture to provide a . non-skid surface in some areas; however, the applications tended to self- destruct due to the heavy traffic in these areas. In conclusion, I would venture to say your product has met all of my expectations and is currently being considered by a number of our project managers for future dock applications. Sincerely yours, . >4 yla~ Paul R.

The drawbacks of this system were that t.he coating was brittle and easily damaged through impact; and that touching up was necessary every three months or so. DURABAK MSTS In January 1991 we did a test application to the "Lucerne". The deck was sanablasted ana prir*tea with Galv 6. Primer no. 5 was then used, followed by two coats ot Durabak applxed by rollar. The ship went baqk into service and the deck condition was .monitored after each -voyage. - The AL:rabak necded only a touch-up after 12 months. OONMUSION . The Duraba3c is safer by being lESS abrasive,-more comfortable to work -on. due to its resilience, and can be repaired if re-quS.red. -Despite the gr=ater initiaI cost, Dur3t-ak is cheaper in the long run due to its long ].i-fa. Tha decision has becn taken to staridardise on Durabak throughout our fleet, ar.d at the pre.-ent time most vessels have been converted to Dura"ak. . . ' , ~ . . . .

NIIMBER: 108247-1 INTRODUCTION: This report presents test results of Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values per ASTM E-84-91a. The report also includes Material Identification, Method of Preparation, Mounting and Conditioning of the specimens'. The tests were performed in accordance with the specifications set forth in ASTM E-84-91a, "Standard Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", both as to equipment and test procedure. This test procedure is similar to UL-723, ANSI No. 2.5, NFPA N0. 255 and UBC 42-1. The test results cover two parameters: Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values during a 10-minute fire exposure. Inorganic cement board and red oak flooring are used as comparative standards and their responses are assigned arbitrary values of 0 and 100, respectively. PREPARATZON AND CONDITT.ONING: Two (2) coats of Durabak were rolled onto each of three (3) 24" x 810" sections of inorganic cement board and allowed to cure in accordance with the supplied aFplication instructions. The application rate was approximately 14 sq. ft./ltr. The panels were conditioned at 730 + 50 Fahrenheit and 50 + 5% relative humidity. TEST PROCEDURE: The tunnel was thoroughly pre-heated by burning natural gas. When the brick temperature, sensed by a floor thermocouple, had reached the prescribed 1050 Fahrenheit + 50 Fahrenheit level, the sample was inserted in the tunnel and test conducted in accordance with the standard ASTM E-84-91a procedures. The operation of the tunnel was checked by performing a 10-minute test with inorganic board on the day of the test. Page 2 Unlted States Testing Company. Inc. CLIENT: Cote-L Enterprises, Inc. NUMBER: 108247-1 TEST RESULTS: The test results, calcillated in accordance with ASTM E-84-91a for Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Values are as follows: Test Specimen: Durabak Flame Spread Index*: 5 Smoke Developed Value*: 10 *Graphs of the Flame Spread, Smoke Developed and Time-Temperature are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 at the end of this report. OBSERVATIONS: • Ignition was noted at 2 minutes along with charring of the specimen directly exposed to the flame. The flamefront advanced a maximum distance of 1 foot at 4 minutes 30 seconds. Neither afterflame nor afterglaw were evident upon test completion. RATING: The National Fire Protec;tion Association Life Safety Code 101, Section 6-5.3, "Intericr Wall and Ceiling Finish Classification", has a means of classifying materials with respect to Flame Spread and Smoke Developed whell tested in accordance with NFPA 255, "Method of Test of Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials", (ASTM E-84 ) . The classifications are as follows: Class A IntErior wall & Ceiling Finish: Flame Spread - 0-25; Smoke Developed - 0-450 Class B Interior Wall & Ceiling Finish: Flame Spread - 26-75; Smoke Developed - 0-450 Class C Interior Wall & Ceiling Finish: Flame Spread -?6-200; Smoke developed - 0-450 Since the sample received a Flame Spread of 5 and a Smoke Developed Value of 10 it would fall into the Class A Interior Wall & Ceiling Finish category: Page 3 4 UNITED STATES TESTING COMPANY, INC. , • 4 . ~ .

Four specimens, 6 x 18 inches in size, are pre-dried for 24 hours at 60°C and conditioned to equiiibrium at 50 t 5% relative humidity and 23 t 3°C before testin8. Eac:h specimen is mounted into a holder and inctined at 30' from the verticaf in front of a 12 x 18 inch gas•fired radiant panei. The orientation af the specirren is such that ignition is forced near its upper edge by a pilot flame, and the fiame front progresses downwards. A factor derived from the rate of pro8ress of the flame front and the rate of heat liberation by the material under test is caiculated as foliows: . is = Fs•Q Where: Is is the flame spread index Fs is the flame spread factor . Q is the heat evolution factor Transit authorities generaliy specify a maximum Is acceptance criterion of 35 for generai applications, and 25 for acoustic and thermal insulation. . ' , • ASTM E 652-83 SMcific Ootical Density of Smoke Generated bv Solid Materials CNBS SmakQ Chamberl This method of test covers a procedure for measurinp the smoke generated by solid materials . and assembiies in ihickness up to and inGuding 1 inch (25.4mm). Measurement is made of the attenuation o►f a li8ht beam by smoke (suspended solid ot tiquid particles) accumulating within a closed chamber due to nortflaming pyrolytic decomposition and flamin8 combustion. Results are expressed in terms of specific optical density, which is derived from a geometricai factor and the measured cpticai density (absorbance). Specimens are dried for 24 hours at 60°C and conditioned to equiiibrium at 50% RH and 23°C. Three spscimens, 3" square, are exposed to each mode of combustion. The % light " transmittance during the course of the combustion is recorded. These data are used to - express the quantity of smoke in the form of Specific Optical Density based on the folfowing formula which assumes the appiicability of Bouguees law: Ds = {V1AL)•!og(1001T) = G•log(100rT) = 132•log(100tT) Where: Ds = Specific Optical Density T = % Transmittance V = Chamber Volume (18 fts) A= Exposed Area of the Sample (0.0456 ftz) L= LenBth of LiBht Path in Chamber (3.0 ft) G = Geometric Factor Among the parameters normaily reported are: Ds i.s - specific optical density after 1.5 minutes Ds 4.0 • specific optical density after 4.0 minutes Om -maximum specific optical density at any time during the 20 minute test Dm (corr) - Dm correcfed for incidental deposits on the optical surfaces Transit authorities generally specify a maximum Ds 1.5 of 100 and a maximum Ds 4.0 of 200 in either flaming or non-flaming test mode. .

Report No. 94-J52-88-75-159(6) INTRODUCTION Determine the Flame Spread and Smoke Deve{oped Ciassifications based upon a single test conducted in conformance with CAN/ULC-S102.2, as per your authorization dated March 22, 1994. SAMPLE 1DENTfFICATION The sample of flooring submitted for testing was identified as: TACTAL polyurethane slip-resistant coating applied onto '/4" thick glass reinforced cement board. (ORTECH sample identification number 94-J52-S0159) TEST PROCEDURE The method, designated as CAN/ULC-S102.2-M88, "Standard Method of Test for Surface Burning Characteristics of Flooring, Floor Covering and Miscellaneous Materiais", is designed to determine the relative surface burning characteristics of materiais under specific test conditions. Results are expressed in terms of flame spread classification (FSC) and smoke developed (SD). Although the procedure is applicable to materials, products and assemblies used in building construction for development of compzrative surfaco. spread of flame data, the test results may not re`lect the rela'tive surface burning characteristics of tested materials under all building fire conditions. SAMPLE PREPARATION The coating/cement board system, which consisted of three sections 2438 mm long and 444 mm wide, was conditioned to constant mass at a temperature of 23°C and a relative humidity of 50°l0 arior to testing. SUMMARY OF TEST PROCEDURE The tunnel is preheated to 85°C, as rneasured by the backwall-embedded thermocouple (ocated 7090 mm downstream of the burner ports, and al{owed to coof to 40°C, as measured by the backwall-embedded thermocouple located 4000 mm from the burners. At th+s time the tunne{ {id is raised and the test sample is placed along the floor of the tunnel so as to form a continuous surface and then the lid is lowered. ORTECH . SURFACE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS 2 of 3 For: Taffourd-Jones Inc. Report No. 94-J52-88-75-159(B) , SUMMARY OF TEST PROCEDURE (continued) Upon ignition of the gas bumers, the flame spread distance is observed and recorded every 15 seconds. Flame spread distance versus time is plotted ignoring any fiame front recessions. If the area under the curve (A) is less than or equal to 29.7 m-min, FSC1 = 1.85-A; if greater, FSC1 = 1640!(59.4-A). Smoke developed is determined by comparing the area under the obscuration curve for the test sampie to that of inorganic reinforced cement board and red oak, arbitrarily established as 4 and 100, respectively. TEST RESULTS SAMPLE FSC1 SD TACTAL polyurethane slip-resistant coating 0 6 applied onto thick glass reinforced cement board - Observations of BurninQ Characteristics - The sample began to ignite and propagate flame after approximately 4 minutes exposure to the test fEame. - A!I flaming activity was confined io the area of d+rect test f{ame impingement. The flame front did not advance beyono the zero point. - A slight increase in smoke deve:oped was recorded coinciding with the flaming activity (see accompanying chans). ~ 4ar. Vfp RA. Cton R.J.

SAFTI-TRAX FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) REQUIREMENTS FOR DETECTABLE WARNINGS 1. SAFTI-TRAX is very easy to install, requiring neifher skilled labor nor special equipment. Therefore, it can be installed and maintained by your personnel. 2. There is no need for any special surface preparation no grinding, no cutting, no surface modification other than proper cleaning, making SAFTI-TRAX especially ideal for retrofit applications. 3. As SAFTI-TRAX is an applied product, it can conform to any surface . configuration curves, grades, and any surface irregularities which makes it great for curb ramps, too. 4. SAFTI-TRAX is also easy to repair, requiring only spare domes and a can of DURA6AK to overcoat. As DURABAK bonds to itself, the repaired area can easily be made to look as good as new. 5. SAFTI-TRAXfulfills the A.D.A. requirement for a resilient surface, for both of its major components the DURABAK one-step non-skid polyurethane coating and the polyurethane domes which are manufactured exclusively for COTE-L ENTERPRISES by the 3M Company both are resilient by nature. For more information about our unique SAFTI-TRAX system, please give us a call. 1542 Jefferson Street • Teaneck, NJ 07666 • TellFax: 201-836-0733 - - ` v ~ • • . .

Your demonstration showed us first hand how easy it is to install your product. Also, it alloWed us to manitor the surfaces for Wear and tear and seek comments from three groups of subjects (visually handicapped, physically handicapped but sighted, and sighted subjects). We tested 3 totally blind, 2 high ,artial blind and 1 low partial blind participants. All of them had no probiem detecting the domes. All of the totally blind participants detected the surface Within 12 to 30 inches of Walking on the surface without the use of a cane. With the use of a cane, they detected the surface Within - 6 to 0 inches of walking on it, therefore, they detected it With their cane before they even stepped on it! The polyurethane domes and poryurethane coating are much more resilient that the other products we have C'xnmined, which makes it easier on the feet and adds to detection. We are glad to hear that the domes are now made of rubber, which will make the surface even more resilient. An added plus is that the conversion reducc•ij the material cost by 25 percent. As you know, we had a very harsh ciinter which gave us prime testing conditions in snoW and ice removai. Removal of snow by snoW shovel or salt did not appear to affect your product. It was not necessary to remove all the ice between the dor.ies. As lons as the tops of the domes were exposed, traction was more th3n adequate. ,~1Pk' f('I s.°1' /.c .4n Equo/ Oppnrlunily Emrloyer Page TWo Kemoval of snoW and ice by a portable snow plow removed 20% of the domes at one location and 74% of the domes at the other location so far this winter. This Was due to the plow blade resting directly on the sidewalk surface. If the plow blade had "shoes" attached in order to lift the blade 1/4" off the surface, I feel this Would not have affected the domes. We will be testing a snoW bloWer on the domes shortly. To further test your product for constructibility in the field, public reaction and Near and tear, We will be installing the SAFTI-TRaX system on curb ramps on two resurfacing projects: 1. Route 35, Section (13) - Mile Post 0.1 to 1.80 2. Route 31, Section (15) - Mile Post 1.15 to 4.83 It is anticipated that the first project Will be advertised for construction this fall and the second project Will be advertised in the spring of 1995. • As of this date, We have found no other truncated dome product that is so easy to customize and install to each location and as resilient as SAFTI-TRAX.

DURABAK SURFA►CE P~EPARATION IMPORTANT READ CAREFULLY! DCJRABAfC will bond to mvst surfaces that are thvroughly clean and dry. DURABAK wili also band to clean, sound-pain#ed surfaces. Before application: 1. Clean the surface af all oily or waxy contaminan#s by using recommended cleaning solvent leave no residue, 2. To ensure good adhesion on sound-painted orwood sur#aces, rough up clean surface using new sandpaper af inedium ar cvarse grade. DO - Use proper cleaning soIvent anly! DO - Scrub surface wri#h s#rong aggressive detergent. DO - Clean especially dirky surfaces with muriatac acid solution and then rinse aff residue uvi#h clean water. L7O - Ensure surface is completely dry andfor catalyzed beforehand. DO - Test doub#ful surfaces with DURABAK befvrehand! DO1V'T - Clean surfaces with Iacquer thinners or any solrrent containing aIcohol, which wii1 prevent DURABAK from curing. DDN'T - Assurne surface is ciean unless you have cleaned it yvurself! DON'T - Apply to smooth or shiny metaf without using a metal primer. 4 DURABAK PREPARATION FOR SPECIFIC ADHESION IMPORTANT! The following information is provided as a guide only, because substrates can differ significantly. All surfaces should first be tested to ensure adhesion. SURFACE As with all coatings, DURABAK adhesion is dependent on the PREPARATION quality of the substrate. All surfaces must be sound, dry, and free of oil or grease. CEMENT New cement needs to be fully cured (at least 28 days) and not sealed. (If sealed, the sealant must be removed.) Old cement or concrete needs to be clean and dry before application of DURABAK. In some cases, where the concrete is dirty, the surface may need to be acid-cleaned. Test surface first. CEMENT PLUS DURABAK exhibits good adhesion to acrylic, epoxy and PRIMER polyurethane primers applied and overcoated to manufacturers specifications. ALUMINUM Prime before applying DURABAK. METAL All smooth metal should be prepared and primed. DURABAK adheres well to sound-painted metal. WOOD For best results, abrade before applying DURABAK. (Not always necessary.) Some pressure-treated woods may need priming. If in doubt, make a small application test first. GLOSS PAINTS Abrade surface before applying DURABAK. AND VARNISH RUBBER Clean well using detergent or cleaning solvent. Allow to dry, then apply DURABAK. (For best adhesion, abade surface lightly.) FIBERGLASS Good adhesion to unweathered gel-coated glass, rough fiber, side molded glass, and smooth-mould resin-side glass is obtained if surface is free of release agent, waxes and other production additives, and is sanded to remove all gloss from the surface. OTE-L Enterprises, Inc. s ~ DURABAK HOW TD APPLY ROLLER/BRUSH VERSION DURABAK for roller or brush applications is available in one-quart, one-gallon, and five-gallon containers. Using the roller application will provide a rougher final texture than with the brush application. Before applying DURABAK, it is important that the surface to be coated is completely clean see SURFACE PREPARATION. Mask all areas not to be coated. Remove masking in between coats, then remask. IMPORTANT! DURABAK contains flammable solvents. Ensure properventilation and fire precautions. ROLLER APPLICATION Apply DURABAKwith a special open foam stipp/e roller (available through COTE-L ENTERPRISES or a DURABAK dealer). Use only a DURABAK special stipple roller other rollers will not pick up and spread DURABAK evenly. Rollers are available in 9" and 4" sizes. Each subsequent roller coat can be applied at 90° angles to the previous coat, but this is not normally necessary. Apply first coat as a thin coat to cover. When tacky or touch dry, apply second coat. To avoid "mud cracking," do not apply DURABAK too thickly. BRUSH APPLICATION DURABAK can be applied with a soft paint brush in two coats at right angles to one another. (DURABAK is not a paint, and should be laid onto the surface, in one direction, not brushed out as an oil or latex paint.) Between coats, clean brush only with recommended thinner/cleaner (Xylene). The second coat can be applied as soon as the first coat is touch dry (usually within one hour). Extreme climatic conditions of heat, cold and humidity can shorten or lengthen this period. Intercoat/curing time can be significantly shortened by use of special accelerator (see section on accelerator). 6 DURABAK HOW TO APPLY: ROLLER/BRUSH VERSION (cont'd) C OV E RAG E One quart will cover a flat area of about 14 square feet in two coats, and one gallon will cover 56 square feet, with a final dry coat thickness of 1 mm. IMPORTANT ADVICE! ♦ DCIRABAK should be stirred thoroughly before applying. ♦ Apply DURABAK in thin coats in order to avoid mud cracking. ♦ DURABAK, in an open or partly used can, will thicken and eventually become unusable. * If product thickens slightly, it can be thinned by using up to 10% of the recommended thinner/cleaner (Xylene), without affecting performance. ♦ Once the consistency of the product has become too pasty, it should be discarded. ♦ Normally, DURABAK can be subjected to light foot traffic within 12 hours. The coating should not be subjected to full loading or chemical exposure until fully cured. For specific kinds of loading, consult your DURABAK dealer. ♦ DURABAK takes about 4 days to fully cure (less in hot humid conditions, and more in cold dry weather). OTE-L Enterprises, Inc. 7 .r DURABAK HOW TO APPLY SPRAY VERSION DURABAK sprayable is packed in a one-quart metal can, which screws directiy into the wide-nozzle COTE-L spraygun. It is also available in one-gallon and five- gallon containers which can be used with professional spray equipment. Before spraying, it is important that: ♦ Surfaces be clean and sound see SURFACE PREPARATION. ♦ Areas not to be coated are masked off. ♦ All working or moving parts are covered. IMPORTANT! DURABAK contains flammable solvents. Ensure proper ventilation and fire precautions. STIR WELL 1. Attach spraygun to compressor air line, giving pressure of 50-80 psi. 2. Before starting the job, spray a few short bursts away from the surface to test that everything is working properly. 3. Spray a thin coat over the whole surface to be covered. 4. Remove masking tape immediately after spraying, and after each coat. 5. When surface becomes tacky (between 20 minutes and 1 hour, depending on weather conditions), mask again and spray second coat. Extreme climatic conditions of heat, cold and humidity can shorten or lengthen this period. 6. IntercoaUcuring time can be significantly shortened by use of special accelerator (see section on accelerator). 7. Continue as above, until DURABAK is 1 mm thick, or to desired thickness. DURABAK should be applied in thin coats to prevent "mud-cracking" during drying. DURABAKtakes about 4 days to fully cure (less in hot humid conditions and more in cold dry weather). The coating should not be subjected to full loading or chemical exposure until fully cured. For specific kinds of loading, consult your DURABAK dealer. 8 . DURABAK HOW TO APPLY: SPRAY VERSION (cont'd) COVERAGE One quart will c4ver a flat area of about 19 square feet in two coats, and one gallon will cover 76 square feet. A final dry coat thickness of 1 mm is recommended. IMPORTANT ADVICE! 1. Dilute on/y with recommended DURABAK thinner/cleaner (Xylene). Other solvents can cause product failure. Do not dilute product or c/ean spraygun with /acquer thinners! 2. Remove any over-spray immediately with Xylene. DURABAK is very difficult to remove once cured. 3. Solvents released when spraying are flammable. Observe all fire precautions. 4. A partly used can of DURABAK may cure due to exposure to moisture in the air. As a rul2, once opened, the contents of the can should be used within 2 hours. 5. Clean spraygun between coats and immediately after job is completed. Use only approved thinner/cleaner (Xylene). OTE-L Enterprises, Inc. 9 DURABAK ACCELERATOR A liquid accelerator (available from COTE-L or DURABAK dealer) can be used which reduces the drying/curing time by up to 75% (depending on climatic conditions). This may be helpful in areas of low atmospheric moisture, or when shorter curing/drying times are required. Contents of accelerator should be added to the DURABAK can upon opening (3 packets per quart). The mixture should be stirred thoroughly to assure complete blending. Then apply as per regular instructions. Accelerator will not affect product pertormance. It will only speed drying time. REPAI RI NG DURABAK Unlike most two-part coatings, DURABAK can easily be repaired or over-coated because it bonds to itself. 1. Cut out all damaged DURABAK to eliminate uneven edges. 2. Clean area to be repaired and rough up surrounding DURABAK with sand paper so that new application can get a good grip. 3. Spray or brush fresh DURABAK onto cleaned areas, as per application instructions. 10 - ` DURABAK DATA S H EET USES AND APPLICATIONS o Load areas of pick-up trucks for protection and non-skid properties o Floors and steps of transporters and busses o Pontoons and jetties o Ramps for wheel-chair access o Emergency exits and fire escapes o Non-skid areas around machinery o Bridges, steps, walkways, decks and helicopter pads on ships o Waterproofing and non-skid surfaces in showers, changing rooms and ablution blocks o Diving-suit repair and protection o On rubber tread flooring for additional non-skid performance o All areas where safety is a factor COLORS o Black, Grey, Brick Red, Dark Blue, Dark Green, Safety Yellow, Safety Orange, White, and a variety of light colors.. o Color matching also available. CURING TIME DURABAK cures in reaction with atmosphere moisture. Without accelerator, the coating will be touch dry in about 4-5 hours, allow light traffic after 12 hours, and have achieved full strength and chemical resistance in 4-7 days. SURFACE FINISH DURABAK can give a relatively smooth or rough surface depending on application technique. As a guide, application by brush gives a smoother surface. Spray application tends to give a finely textured attractive non-skid surface, which can be varied somewhat by spray technique. For maximum non-skid performance, apply by stipple roller. SHELF LIFE AND POT LIFE , DURABAK has a minimum shelf life of one year after manufacture. Once the can has been opened, however, the contents should be used immediately, or at most within 2-3 hours. The addition of accelerator does not affect pot life. THINNING Normally DURABAK does not need thinning. If, however, it starts to thicken, thin only with xylene. CLEAN-UP Use only Xylene for clean-up. OTE-L Enterprises, Inc. l~ DURABAK PHYSICAL AND PERFORMANCE DATA 1) Chemical Resistance.

"500 hours of exposure resulted in a loss of gloss finish; however, there was no indication of surface cracking or any other surface deterioration. 12 DURABAK "Physical testing of the DURABAK samples, tensiles at break and elongation at break indicate that the 500-hour exposure has not affected the properties of the material." 3) FIRE RESISTANCE. The following bum test was independently carried out: A 500 micron film of DURABAK was exposed to a bunsen flame for: a) Two exposures of 5 seconds with removal for 5 seconds b) Continued exposure for 30 seconds The short (a) exposure gave a general scorching of the film with some evolution of smoke and liquid. The extended (b) exposure led to the combustion of the film. The film remained alight for a period of 15 seconds after removal from the flame. The flame did not spread beyond the region subjected to the flame. The region which had combusted was left charred but intact. Smoke generated was non-toxic. 4) IMPACT RESISTANCE. The following independent test was conducted: An aluminum panel was coated with DURABAK. It was subject to front and reverse side impact by a blunt 0.5 cm2, 1 kg load over 1 meter fall. The film remained intact. - 'The product could be considered to have good adhesion impact resistance." 5) CO-EFFICIENT OF FRICTION.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED 1. Detergent any general floor cleaner, from a neutral commercial cleaner to Spic'n' Span, or its equivalent. 2. Deck brush for agitating the detergent over the surface. 3. Pail and wringer for water pickup. 4. Sponge Mop (if the area is very small) for water pickup. or Twenty-Four Ounce Mop (if the area to be cleaned is slightly larger). DO NOT USE COTTON MOP. PROCEDURE 1. Mix hot water with detergent of choice. 2. Apply mixture generously to DURABAK surface. 3. Allow to stand for five minutes. 4. Using deck brush, agitate entire surface. 5. Mop up dirty water. Repeat with sudsy water, if necessary. 6. Empty water from bucket, rinse and wring out mop. 7. Using clean, cold water, rinse surface well of all soapy residue and let dry. 16 • DURABAK ALTERNATIVE METHODS For larger areas, where the above is not time efficient, there are alternatives available to expedite cleaning. ► ROTARY MACHINE . A rotary 14" waxing-type machine with a(thickline) blue pad can be used in place of a deGk brush to greatly increase the square footage that can be cleaned in a relatively short period of time. ► RINSE-FREE DETERGENT If a rinse-free detergent is used, the dirty water pickup can be done with a water vacuum and the job will be complete at that point. ► AUTOMATIC SCRUBBERS DURABAK surfaces can also be cleaned with use of automatic scrubbers. These are machines which, in one pass, put down the washing solution, scrub the floor with a(blue) pad, and vacuum up the dirty water. It should be pointed out that the pad pressure used in the scrubber (using a blue pad) need only be sufficient for the pad to make light contact with the floor. Heavy scrubbing will negative/y affect the DURABAK surtace. SPECIFIC CLEANING PROBLEMS ► GREASE SPILLAGE To clean a DURABAK surface of a greasy or slippery solution, it is necessary to use a slightly more aggressive detergent, containing a degreaser. There are many such products available from your chemical suppliers. ► REMOVAL OF STICKY SUBSTANCES The problem of ground-in gum is common in public areas and walkways. The removal of such gum from a DURABAK surtace can be achieved by the periodic use of a pressure washer. A water-pressure spray of 600 to 700 PSI, at an angle of 35-40 degrees, should enable the removal of gum pieces within 10 to 15 seconds. This will allow the gum to be removed without any damage to the DURABAK coating. . OTE-L Enterprises, Inc. 17 . SAFTImTRAX SAFTI-TRAX FACT S U M MARY SAFTI-TRAX is a unique new system designed specifically for compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for detectable warnings. SAFTI-TRAX is assembled by individuals with disabilities. Why is SAFTI-TRAX so unique and therefore your best choice? " SAFTI-TRAX is a permanent system that is applied directly to clean dry surtaces without the need of specialized labor or machinery. It is therefore not labor intensive and not costly to apply. SAFTI-TRAX incorporates resilient polyurethane domes, made exclusively for COTE-L Enterprises by 3M, with an overcoating of our new and unique DURABAK, a one-part, safety non-slip, totally flexible polyurethane coating. SAFT!-TRAX enjoys all the unique characteristics of its major component, DURABAiC: It is extremely durable, waterproof, repairable, and anticorrosive. It bonds to concrete, wood, primed or sound-painted metal surfaces, fiber glass, and most other surfaces. And DURABAK comes in a wide range of colors. SAFTI-TRAXwill conform to any surtace irregularity, facilitating a virtually faultless application. . SAFTI-TRAX is not only flexible, but resilient, as specifically required by the ADA. SAFTI-TRAX is easy to clean and easy to repair. The total cost per square foot of SAFTI-TRAX with DURABAK, for materials and labor, is significantly less than other products because of its ease of application. No significant preparation of the surface area is necessary other than proper cleaning. For a prototype sample of the SAFTI-TRAX system, just give us a call. y 18 SAFTImTRAX SAFTI-TRAX DETECTABLE WARNING SYSTEM APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS The SAFTI-TRAX Detectable Waming System contains the following: 1. DURABAK one-step flexible non-slip coating 2. Accelerator packets 3. DURABAK special stipple rollers 4. 2' x 4' plastic sheets with 3M truncated domes attached at the top You will need: 1. Xylene 2. Heavy duty rubber gloves 3. Masking tape 4. Paint roller pan PROCEDURE P/ease read all instructions carefully before proceeding. 1. Clean surface as specified in DURABAK instructions. 2. Lay out SAFTI-TRAX plastic sheets with truncated domes for sizing. Be sure to leave paper release sheet in place underneath domes. If required, cut sheets to size with scissors. 3. Mask off area to be covered by SAFTI-TRAX. 4. Place plastic sheet whh domes still attached outside work area. 5. Add 3 packets of accelerator per quart of DURABAK and mix thoroughly. Apply one coat of DURABAK onto masked-off area. Do not coat an area larger than one sheet at a time as the domes will need to be placed on wet DURABAK within 10 minutes (see #7). NOTE: After each coat, close can tightly. Wet stipple roller with Xylene and cover with plastic bag so roller will not dry out. If application is by spraygun, clean spraygun between coats. A OTE-L Enterprises, Inc. 19 SAFTI=TRAX 6. Remove bottom release sheet from SAFT!-TRAX truncated domes. 7. While DURABAK is still wet (*within 10 minutes of application), lay domes (with top plastic sheet still attached) in place on wet surface. Wifhout removing plastic sheet, lightly press domes down with a board to ensure that the bottom of all the domes are making contact with the wet DURABAK. If surtace is uneven, you may need to press individual domes down by hand. 8. Remove masking tape immediately. 9. Do not remove plastic sheets from the domes for two to three hours or more, until domes are solidly attached to DURABAK. Lighter colors, such as safety yellow, may require sa i+o eight hours or more, depending on climatic conditions. 10. Gently and slowfy peel off top plastic sheet parallel to surtace, holding the individual domes down with one hand while peeling the sheet back with the other, being careful not to dislodge domes. (You may use a razor blade to slice the plastic sheet into smaller strips for easier removal.) If a dome should become dislodged, apply some DURABAK to bottom of dome and press firmly back into place. 11. Remask area. 12. Apply coat of DURABAK over truncated domes and entire masked-off surface, making sure DURABAK covers the base of the domes. Roll in several different directions to ensure complete coverage. 13. Remove masking tape immediately. 14. After approximately 20 to 40 minutes, or when DURABAK has become tacky, repeat steps 11-13 with two more coats. 15. Remove final masking tape and let SAFTI-TRAX dry. 16. SAFTI-TRAX surface can be walked on with light foot traffic after 4 hours in conditions of average humidity. Heavy loads, after 8 hours. Lighter colors, such as safety yellow, may require six to eight hours or more, depending on climatic conditions. Your SAFTI-TRAUC Detectable Warning system is now complete! . a Enterprises, Inc.
