ABOVE, ON and BELOW grade. FA-88 is safe for use outdoors as well as indoors. When fully cured, FA-88 is unaffected by moisture encroachment or effects from direct sunlight exposure.FA-88 is suitable for use with radiant heated floors. When using FA-88 for installing Fritztile terrazzo floor tile on concrete substrates, concrete moisture emissions must be no greater than ten (10) pounds per 1000 square feet per 24 hours. It is required that all concrete substrates be tested in a method compliant with ASTM F-1869-98 "Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Subfloor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride." For all other flooring products, refer to their individual manufacturers, requirements and limitations concerning concrete moisture emissions. FA-88 can be used as a filler over concrete saw cuts, and minor subfloor irregularities in the same application, while applying the product using the sharp side of the correctly selected trowel.
