The product may be installed in one or multiple coat applications depending on specification requirements and desired aesthetic effects. Ballist€CreteT" complies with ASTM E136,ASTM E84, ASTM G21,ASTM C587, LIBC 2W and NFPA 286 fire rating,NIJ Level III and IV. Climate The objective In controlling the Interior climate of the building Is to assist SaIllstiCrete", cure naturally and perform as intended. Premature surface drying and excessive heal may compromise the Inherent strength and performance characteristics of BalllstlCrete"" Temperature Balli3tieratOTM must be applied on interior walls with a minimum surface temperature and ambient room temperatures between 55°F and 95'F(13'C-35°0)with a minimum wall surface temperature above 50OF(104C). In colder environments the building shall be heated long enough to bring the surface temperature of the substrate above 5q°F and maintained until Ball€stiCretetm has suftfclently cured. Do not apply BallistlCrete7M in temperatures above WE Humidity The building must have a minimum relative humidity shown in Table 1 to avoid premature surface drying and consistent curing. If low humidity conditions exist for a given ambient temperature then measures must be taken to Increase the relative humidity for the duration of the Sal ll K rate T"application and curing period.

The general rule of thumb for identifying good drying conditions is the lower the temperature PM Rev.9-21-18 0 GlgaCrete,Inc. i • i the lower the humidity needs to be. Conversely,the higher the building temperature the higher the relative humidity should be for proper material curing, Air Movement Opening windows and/or assisting air movement with fans can greatly assist In maintaining good drying conditions within a building. In excessively hot and dry areas, minimize air movement across the applied walls and add moisture by wetting the floor or humidifiers. Excessive air movement directly on the surface of the nallistlCreteTs may prematurely dry the surface and create surface cracks, Avoid direct air movement on the BallistiCrote"m surface when using fans or other means of climate control, Direct Sunlight Shade the Bell istiCrateI'm from direct sunlight during the installation and Its initial 48 hour cure. Moisture Ensure that the application substrate Is free of surface moisture prior to the Ballist[CreteTm application and that the source of the moisture is properly addressed. BallistiCreteT"'shall not be moistened during the application or during the initial cure period Substrate Preparation Gypsum Board Gypsum wall substrates and gypsum board joint treatment in newly constructed buildings must be sealed with an acrylic concrete bonder. Joint compound Is not required but if already installed,must be sealed with an acrylic concrete bonder. Joint compound will re- emulsify when wet if it is not Sealed adequately prior to the application of BallistiCretaTM. 4ulkrele Concrete Adhesive is a recommended Acryllc Bonder,do not use PVA bondem as they re-emulsify, Roll on acrylic bonder over gypsum board and apply BalllstiGrete directly over the tacky or dry bonder. Concrete/Plaster Prior to applying Be]IlstlC rote Im,all concrete wall or concrete block wall substrates must be solid,free of water,excessive moisture,oil,paint,wax,grease,asphalt,latex compounds,curing compounds,adhesives and any contaminant that might act as a bond breaker. It is recommended to mechanically abrade the surface down to sound,solid concrete, Etching Is a good method of final cleaning using a diluted mudatic acid solution. Once sufficiently etched,the wall should be thoroughly rinsed with potable water to dilute any acid solution remaining on the wall surface. Applying BalllstlCreteTm to totally dry wall surraces can create rapid drying,the potential cracking and/or poor adhesion of the Bail]stiCrete""E to the substrate.Seal first with an acrylic bonder,contact GigaCrete for recommendations if necessary. Magnesium Board The wall surfaces should be sealed with an acrylic bonder before proceeding with the application. Applying BalllstiCrete-m to totally dry wall surfaces can create rapid drying, the potential cracking and/or poor adhesion of the BallistfCreteTm to the substrate. Note Exposed metal surfaces contacting BallistiCreteT"' on any of the above substrates should be isolated or sealed with a thick primer or other appropriate anticorrosive coating prior to product application, BallistlCreteT'may directly abut approved Iron-motallfc electrical boxes and other non-me talltc protrusions such as wood, without treatment. PM Rev.9.21-18 p GigaCrete,Inc. i tr Mixing Station It is recommended to take the time to establish a well organized mixing station. Balching accurately and efficiently will keep the Installation on schedule and profitable. The following list provides a checklist for necessary items and practices: + Tarp off the entire mixing area for easier cleanup Water hose or suitable water source • Power source with GP1 receptacle kept away from water usage Spare mixer available in case one falls + Weight scale(optional) • Graduated water containers for measuring • Plastic barrel for qulekty drawing clean/potable mixing water • Additional plastic barrel for rinsing/cleaning • Level surface at"bench"height for measuring water • Designated area for stocking dry product • Trash barrel or designated area for opened bags and Trash Safety Equipment: • Protective eye wear • Dusk mask • Rubber gloves • Rubber sole work boots • Long pants • Long sleeve shirt Creating the modified water(133 activator) E3 Activator 4Qr1C@F1Efate 5a lbs Accompanying BallistlCrete bags Activator+Water W B3 Activator Mixing BaliistiCrete"A Activator (Modified water, Part "B") 1, Empty the 50 pounds of 83 Activator Concentrate into a plastic barrel capable of holding at least 15 gallons. A clean trash barrel will work fine, Make as much as possible to fill the barrel. This becomes .t the modified"water"far mixing Ball€stiCrete. PM Rev.9-21-18 0 Giga Crete,Ino. 2. Add 8 gallons* 1 pint(31 liters)of cool water and stir to fully dissolve all crystalline solids. Blend with plaster mixer and allow the activator solution to rest 8 hours—preferably overnight. Cover tho barrel to prevent evaporation and to keep out possible contaminates. Store in cool area and prevent the B3 solution from exceeding 70°F prior to use. 3. B3 Activator and water creates a solution much denser than water. The target density Is 22.50 Baume or a specific gravity of 1,18. Using an 22,5 appropriate hydrometer available from GigaCrete, check the 133 solution for actual density and adjust accordingly. Higher density will require adding water and lower density will require more concentrate. Consult a GigaCrete representative with questions. 4. Pour approximately 7 to 7 1/2 quarts (6.6-7 liters) of B3 Activator into a 10 gallon (38 liters)mixing bucket, 5. Add the entire contents of the Ball istiCreteT"" bag and mix to a lump free consistency. Mix time is 3 minutes, slowly break up and add small bag of glass fibers and continue to mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes. i Add additional B3 Activator solution If needed. 6. DO NOT TEMPER AFTER MIXED(NO REMIXING) 7. Mix only what can be immediately installed. ➢ Mix using B3 solution only. DO NOT MIX WITH PLAIN WATER. Y Ensure all B3 concentrate has fully dissolved ➢ 133 solution greater than 70OF will greatly reduce material pot life. Y 133 Solution must be allowed to"age" before use. Immediate use Is not recommended Ensure 133 is at the correct liquid density before using PM Rev.9-21-18 Q GigaCrete,Inc. B3 solution is corrosive to unprotected metals and contains water and chlorides {r: Mixing Equipment Mixing BallistiCrete in easy but can be made difficult without the right mixing equipment. Smaller projects are generally batched one unit at a time and mixed In a standard five gallon bucket. Drills with plaster mixing paddles are commonly used for this purpose. A 1/2"(12mm)T amp variable speed drill with 650 rpm is commonly used for bucket batching. — Standard Standard mixing paddles are used with heavy duty%"(72mm)drills for bucket batching. LJ Direct drive mixers are ergonomically designed and minimize torque reduction that increases batch efficiency. Most are equipped with variable speed options that reduce product overflow while blending the dry product with activator. Direct drive mixers are recommended over heavy duty%"(12mm)drills for bucket mixing. A� K'VN A standard mortar mixer may be used for larger volume projects. Ensure that the bulk batch volume matches the application volume consumption and fresh material is continuously used. Mixing PM Rev.9-21-18 0 GigaCrete,Inc. r ' 4 to 5 mins @ 50°F-75'F "" 7.5 RTS(7 liters)!75# ; Add approximately severs(7)quarts(6,6 liters)of activator per 75 lb.(34 kg)package of dry BallistlCreteTm and slowly mix glass fibers in using typical plaster mixers for bucket botching or standard mortar mixers for bulk botching. Always add the total activator amount to the mixing vessel before adding the dry material. 00 NOT MAKE TOO WET, or add more powder. It Is recommended to use exact measuring equipment to duplicate liquid amounts for each batch mixed.Avoid using water less than 60'F and more than 75° ` I 4-5 Minutes BallistiCreteTm requires less water(activator)than typical plasters and mortars. It is extremely important to allow sufficient time for the product to adequately dissolve and liquefy. Mixing time is approximately 4 to 5 minutes. 00 NOT ADD MORE SOLUTION BEFORE INITIAL.ACTIVATOR HAS BEEN BLENDED. The most common mistake is adding more activator before all dry Ingredients have absorbed. Very small amounts may be added after 3 minutes of mixing. ❑O NOT TEMPER AFTER INITIAL MIXING HAS TAKEN PLACE, Spray Equipment BalltstlCrete;* may be applied by hand trowel,hopper gun texture sprayer or stucco/plaster type spray equipment. When using spray equipment,It may be necessary to adjust the air flow rate, nozzle orifice size and food rate to maximize application et5clency. Adjust application speed in order to achieve the desired application depth and aesthetic affect. Testing spraying/pumping equipment and material prior to installation is strongly recommended. Hopper Gun Hopper texture guns may be used to apply BailistlCrete. Hopper guns are typically used for smaller volume projects and are typtcally used for ' producing textures such as orange peel,splatter and splatter knock downs. A Marshalltown Sharpshooter 693 is recommended when considering hopper gun applications.

I I i i Peristaltic Pump or"Squeeze Pump" Peristaltic pumps offer the same bensOls as rotor stator pumps but are much more user friendly, Material never interfaces with pumping parts reducing the set up and wash out time. Peristaltic pump$use less pressure—delivering material safely and effectively. Various output options and sizes are available. ACCESSORIES Control Joints Control joints are necessary to compensate for potential structural movement, settling, thermal and humidity expansion or contraction and provide installation stop and start points. It is recommended that joints are placed at regular spacing's;however depending on wall heights It Is best to follow industry standard plaster control joint spacing. Plastic 093V by Trim-Tex or other Plastic Components Joints typically used in the plaster and wallboard industry are installed by hot knifing or cutting a groove into the EPS allowing the joint flanges to rest flush with the surface. They may be fastened through the flange with nails or by adhering with low expansion urethane foam adhesive. Plastic"V°joints are preferred as It is easier to maintain the target installation depth along a temporary tear away strip that runs along each side of the center groove. Casing Bead Casing beads are necessary to isolate BallistiCrefe TM from dissimilar building materials such as unprotected(non-corrosion coated)metal door frames, metal window frames,ceilings,floors and walls. Plastic Flat Tear Away by Trim-Tex(or similar)is preferred as It Is flush mounted to the EPS and provides a temporary removable strip to trowel against. Fastening may be done with roofing nails or low expansion urethane foam adhesive. Outside Comer Bead Outside comer beads are optional but recommended. Finishing Direct Application to Wall surfaces(plaster,drywall or block wails) Preparation Remove all possible bond breakers such as dust, dirt,oil, moisture,wall paper etc. Coat cleaned surface with an ACRYLIC BONIER,typical to concrete adhesives(Quikrate is Ideal). Do not use PVA benders as these re-emulsify when wetted. Contact GlgaCrete for recommendations, however,the big box stores, Home Depot, Lowes, Maynard's etc carry acrylic bonders In the masonrylstueco departments. Survey the substrate for Irregularities that may adversely affect the application such as minor protrusions and volds. Walls must NOT be wet or moist or contain moisture trapped within the walls. PM Rev.9-21-18 0 GlgaCrete,Inc, Depth Screed Strips When thickness Is required for larger caliber protection, It is advised to create depth gauges by snaking vertical screed strips, usually from wood out to the depth required. For demonstration purposes herein,we shall describe 1"depth requirements, Cut a strip of wood 1"wide and 1"deep and as long as the wall height Cut the first layer of mesh supplied by GlgaCrete and loosely attach to the comer of the wall at the ceiling in a vertical drop much like hanging wallpaper and out off at the floor.After mesh is loosely suspended like wallpaper hanging down,attach the 1"deep strip with screws to the wall trapping the edge of the mesh in the corner of the room and pin back the mesh out of the way of the first thin coat of BallistlCrete.Apply a thin coat of Ball€stiCrete directly to the surface and then un-pin the mesh and fold over the mesh and press into the thin coat of plaster. Fill all the gaps in the mesh with material and put excess Ballist€Crete back In the mixing bucket,ready to be used again for the next and following coat. Now attach the second strip of wood 3"In from the edge of the mesh leaving about 2"of exposed mesh. (If the wood strip is 1"wide,there will be 2"of mesh visible.) Apply the second thicker coat of BalllstiCrete and screed off with a float or straight edge wider than the screed placements. A 48"or longer Darby or aluminum straight edge works best for this type of installation(typical to concrete finishing or plastering tools). Do not overwork the material, this is not the final finish.You now have exactly 1"thick Ball istiCrete installed over the surface. Wait until the material is almost set and remove the first screed and till the gap. Only one screed is now used to continue the process as the thickness of the previous coat can be used as the depth screed. Overlay the next layer of thin coat and mesh over the Previous 3"of mesh left showing and repeat the process. Go back over the 1"wide gaps and fill with BailistlCrete as you move down the wall. It will bond perfectly to itself.Apply the final finish coat to whatever thickness is desired over the previous coat. If 2°overall thickness Is required,use the same screed strips again.If it has dried overnight,apply the acrylic bonder again to stop the suction of B3 solution out of the second coat. Reinforced Mesh Heavy duty fiberglass mesh from GlgaGrete is a critical part of the BallistlCretelm application. A 1/4"(6mm)minimum coat of BallistlCreteT"' is applied to the wall surfaces and worked flat. Pre cut the mesh(like hanging wallpaper)and embed Into the first coat working material through while ensuring that the mesh is fiat and free of wrinkles. Butt adjoining mesh sheets,overlapping is not required as additional offset layers of lath will cover any joint lines. Additional coats of pall€stiCreteT11 are now applied over each layer and built up to the desired thickness. Layers of 31F to 5/8"(Smm to 15mm)can be applied each time depending on methods used. Spraying Spraying is both faster and allows thicker build up per layer. BalllstlCreteT" may be applied by hawk and trowel but spray application Is recommended for best results. Spray in a fashion that allows the trowel person to stay in close proximity to the sprayer and allows a continuous wet edge. Working wall areas in sections from top to bottom works best, Hawk r5~Trowel Baliist€CreteT'"is hand applied like most conventional piaster material. Trowel Timing Dry and sat times depend on material viscosity,temperature and humidity. Generally,the first trowel pass is approximately 20 minutes after the initial application and in 20 minute intervals for subsequent trowel passes. Trowelling from top to bottom each time helps to keep a good wall profile. FINISHES AND TEXTURES Smooth For a smooth wall finish a steel trowel typically used for conventional piaster may be used. It is important to allow HallisttCreteTm to take an initial set(gel stage)before attempting to finish It smooth. It Is acceptable to finely mist the finishing trowel and/or the surface of the wall with water to assist with the finishing process. However.avoid over watering the wall PM Rev.9-21-18 Q GlgaCrete,Inc. E surface. Surface bllstering may occur if the BallistiCrete""Is finished prematurely and/or the wall surface Is overwetted. Decorative When BalllstlCrcte'" Is specified as the wall finish(exposed not painted)It is advisable to allow It to fully cure and then add a thin coat of PlasterMax(same product without adding glass fibers)then edditlonal trowel passes are necessary beyond the acceptably smooth stage. Make passes from top to bottom at 15-20 minute intervals using the usual trowel pressure until the surface begins to mottlo and shine. Extra pressure Is not necessary as the material will begin to polish regardless. Surface blackening becomes more pronounced with each additional pass. Subtle mottling is generally more desirable so use caution not to over trowel.After the material has fully cured,It can be waxed with floor polish and buffed to a high gloss finish. When color is added,It looks a lot like Venetian Plaster. Consult with GlgaCrete on colors and finishes. Texture Spray textures such as orange peel,splatter and splatter knockdown are also possible. Texturing is performed during the second coat application. Stamped texturing Is achieved with a 9"urethane texture roller. Liquid or"bubble gum"release agent is lightly sprayed on the surface and on the roller. A wide variety of textures are possible with this method, Surface Protection and Decoration Paint Wall paint is most commonly used to seat,protect,and provide a consistent decorative finish to cured BallistiCreteTm Breathable latex primers and paint typically used for conventional plasters are recommended after a minimum 7 day cure period, In cooler and/or more humid environments additional cure time is needed. Sealer BalltstiCreteTm that is riot being painted must be sealed with siloxane masonry sealers. Always try a chosen sealer in a small area to check for compatibility before applying to large areas. Clean Up All mixing,spraying and finishing equipment must be thoroughly washed immediately after use, Potable tap water Is sufficient for cleaning. Curing Drying and curing times may vary widely due to temperature and humidity differences from one location to another, It Is Important for SalllatiCreterm to be fully dry before applying any surface treatment or decorative product. Questions regarding drying and curing may be directed to GigaCrete authorized technical assistance representative. Limitations 1. DO NOT over wet, as this may lead to product failures, 2. 00 NOT temper the material with additional activator after Initial mixing as this may lead to product failures. 3.
