FOUNDERS' CROSSING
COPPELL, TX
March 27, 2015 AMENDED
To: Pennington Concrete
Project: Founders Crossing Ph 11; Coppell, TX
The following mixture(s) are submitted in accordance with ACI 318 Chapter 5, proportioning on the basis of field
experience or trial mixtures;
Mixture Code Description Intended Use
3770 5SK/3000PSI W/ASH W/AIR Sidewalks
4142 5.5SK/3600PSI W/ASH W/AIR Site Paving
Charley's Concrete guarantee of strength per ASTM C94 is provided all field samples are in accordance with
ASTM C172 and ASTM C31 and laboratory testing complies with ASTM C39 and ASTM C1077. Charley's
Concrete will guarantee the strength performance of the concrete mixtures submitted when placed with ambient
temperatures between 40 'F and 100 * F provided plastic properties are not exceeded and concrete is placed within 90
minutes of batch time. This temperature and time range does not supersede project specifications. All concrete
should be placed and cured in strict accordance with ACI guidelines for hot and cold weather concreting and may
require the addition of ice during hot weather placements(at the customer's request). During cold weather
placements all concrete surfaces should be protected for a minimum of 24 hours to allow concrete to attain a
compressive strength of 500 psi.
ACI 304.2R "Placing Concrete by Pumping Methods" states that the inside diameter of the hose should be a
minimum of 3 times the maximum aggregate size in the mixture. It is recommended to minimize or eliminate the
free fall of concrete to prevent segregation and to avoid the loss of air. Boom configurations may require
adjustments to the concrete mixture.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to your company. Please forward any engineer comments and
approvals to our office. We also request on add Charley's Con ---+e 12 the distribution list for all laboratory
* t requirements.
d compliance with �re u�iirvlll
test results for review and to monitor performance and com liance with r

Performance r ri i
Concrete durability research has established that the best protection for concrete from the
adverse effects of freezing and thawing cycles and deicing salts results from: proper air
content in the hardened concrete, a suitable air -void system in terms of bubble size and
spacing, and adequate concrete strength, assuming the use of sound aggregates and proper
mixing, transporting, placing, consolidation, finishing and curing techniques. MasterAir AE 90
admixture can be used to obtain adequate freeze -thaw durability in a properly proportioned
concrete mixture, if standard industry practices are followed.
Air Content Determination: The total air content of normal weight concrete should be
measured in strict accordance with ASTM C 231, "Standard Test Method for Air Content
of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method" or ASTM C 173/C 173M, "Standard
Test Method for Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric Method." The air
content of lightweight concrete should only be determined using the Volumetric Method.
The air content should be verified by calculating the gravimetric air content in accordance
with ASTM C 138/C 138M, "Standard Test Method for Density (Unit Weight), Yield, and Air
Content (Gravimetric) of Concrete." If the total air content, as measured by the Pressure
Method or Volumetric Method and as verified by the Gravimetric Method, deviates by more
than 1.5%, the cause should be determined and corrected through equipment calibration or
by whatever process is deemed necessary.
MASTERO
>>BUILDERS
SOLUTIONS
Dosage: There is no standard dosage for MasterAir AE 90
admixture. The exact quantity of air -entraining admixture needed
for a given air content of concrete varies because of differences
in concrete -making materials and ambient conditions. Typical
factors that might influence the amount of air entrained include:
temperature, cementitious materials, sand gradation, sand -
aggregate ratio, mixture proportions, slump, means of conveying
and placement, consolidation and finishing technique. The
amount of MasterAir AE 90 admixture used will depend upon
the amount of entrained air required under actual job conditions.
In a trial mixture, use 0.25 to 4 fl oz/cwt (16-260 mV100 kg)
of cementitious material. Measure the air content of the trial
mixture, and, if needed, either increase or decrease the quantity
of MasterAir AE 90 admixture to obtain the desired air content.
In mixtures containing water -reducing or set -control admixtures,
the amount of MasterAir AE 90 admixture needed may be
somewhat less than the amount required in plain concrete.
Due to possible changes in the factors that can affect the
dosage of MasterAir AE 90 admixture, frequent air content
checks should be made during the course of the work.
Adjustments to the dosage should be based on the amount of
entrained air required in the mixture at the point of placement.
If an unusually high or low dosage of MasterAir AE 90 admixture
is required to obtain the desired air content, consult your local
sales representative. In such cases, it may be necessary to
determine that, in addition to a proper air content in the fresh
concrete, a suitable air -void system is achieved in the hardened
concrete.
Dispensing and Mixing: Add MasterAir AE 90 admixture to the
concrete mixture using a dispenser designed for air -entraining
admixtures, or add manually using a suitable measuring device
that ensures accuracy within plus or minus 3% of the required
amount.
For optimum, consistent performance, the air -entraining admixture
should be dispensed on damp, fine aggregate. If the concrete
mixture contains fine lightweight aggregate, field evaluations
should be conducted to determine the best method to dispense
the air -entraining admixture.
BASF s oo n
Precaution
In a 2005 publication from the Portland Cement Association
(PCA R&D Serial No. 2789), it was reported that problematic
air -void clustering that can potentially lead to above normal
decreases in strength was found to coincide with late additions of
water to air -entrained concretes. Late additions of water include
the conventional practice of holding back water during batching
for addition at the jobsite. Therefore, caution should be exercised
with delayed additions of water to air -entrained concrete.
Furthermore, an air content check should be performed after
post -batching addition of any other materials to an air -entrained
concrete mixture.
Corrosivity - Non -Chloride, Non -Corrosive: MasterAir AE 90
admixture will neither initiate nor promote corrosion of
reinforcing and prestressing steel embedded in concrete, or
of galvanized floor and roof systems. No calcium chloride or
other chloride -based ingredients are used in the manufacture
of this admixture.
Compatibility: MasterAir AE 90 admixture may be used in
combination with any BASF admixture, unless stated otherwise
on the data sheet for the other product. When used in conjunction
with other admixtures, each admixture must be dispensed
separately into the concrete mixture.
Storage Temperature: MasterAir AE 90 admixture should be stored
and dispensed at 31 OF (-0.5 °C) or higher. Although freezing does
not harm this product, precautions should betaken to protect itfrom
freezing. If MasterAir AE 90 admixture freezes, thaw at 35 °F (2 °C)
or above and completely reconstitute by mild mechanical agitation.
Do not use pressurized air for agitation.
Shelf Life: MasterAir AE 90 admixture has a minimum shelf
life of 18 months. Depending on storage conditions, the shelf
life may be greater than stated. Please contact your local
sales representative regarding suitability for use and dosage
recommendations if the shelf life of MasterAir AE 90 admixture
has been exceeded.
Safety: Chemical goggles and gloves are recommended when
transferring or handling this material.

SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Short term exposure to wet concrete is not likely to cause an immediate hazard. However, exposure of
sufficient duration to wet concrete can cause serious, potentially irreversible tissue (skin or eye) damage in the
form of chemical (caustic) burns. The same type of tissue damage can occur if wet or moist areas of the body
are exposed for sufficient duration to the dry ingredients in unhardened concrete.
Routes of Exposure:
Eve Contact
he handling or mixing of the dry ingredients in Ready -Mix concrete may
Exposure to airborne dust during t
cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation.
Eye contact by splashes of wet concrete may cause effects ranging from moderate eye irritation to chemical
burns and blindness. Such exposures require immediate first aid (see Section 4) and medical attention to
prevent significant damage to the eye.
Skin Contact
Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to a hazardous skin exposure. Consequently, the
only effective means of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact, particularly contact
with wet concrete. Exposed persons may not feel discomfort until hours after the exposure has ended and
significant injury has occurred.
Exposure during the handling or mixing of the dry ingredients in Ready -Mix concrete may cause drying of
the skin with consequent mild irritation or more significant effects attributable to aggravation of other
conditions. Exposure to wet concrete may cause more severe skin effects including thickening, cracking or
fissuring of the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe skin damage in the form of (caustic) chemical
burns.
Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to wet concrete, The response may
appear in a variety of forms ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons already sensitized may
react to their first contact with the product. Other persons may first experience this effect after years of
contact with wet unhardened concrete products.
Ingestion
Although inadvertent ingestion of small quantities of wet concrete or its dry ingredients are not known to be
harmful, accidental ingestion of larger quantities can be harmful and requires immediate medical attention.
Inhalation
The ingredients in Ready -Mix concrete contain crystalline silica. Exposure to these ingredients in excess of
the applicable TLV or PEL (see Section 2) may cause or aggravate other lung conditions.
Exposure to the dry ingredients in Ready -Mix concrete may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes
of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory system
Medical Conditions which May be Aggravated by Inhalation or Dermal Exposure:
Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases by exposure to the dry ingredients.
Persons with unusual (hyper) sensitivity to chemicals, dusts, and metallic compounds may experience adverse
reactions to wet concrete.
Carcinogenic Potential:

Page 4 of 7
Skin Protectlon:
Prevention is essential to avoiding potentially severe skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened (wet) concrete
products or its dry ingredients. If contact occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Where
prolonged exposure to unhardened concrete products might occur, wear impervious clothing and gloves to
eliminate skin contact. Where required, wear boots that are impervious to water to eliminate foot and ankle
exposure.
Do not rely on barrier creams; barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves.
Periodically wash areas contacted by wet cement or its dry ingredients with a pH neutral soap and water. Wash
again at the end of the work. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek treatment. If
clothing becomes saturated with wet concrete, it should be removed and replaced with clean dry clothing.
Respiratory Protection:
local or general ventilation to control exposures below
Avoid actions that cause dust exposure to occur. Use
applicable exposure limits.
NIOSH or MSHA approved particulate filter respirators should be used in the context of respiratory protection
program meeting the requirements of the OSHA respiratory protection standard [29 CFR 1910.1341 to control
exposures when ventilation or other controls are inadequate or discomfort or irritation is experienced.
Respirator and/or filter cartridge selection should be based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Standards Z88.2 Practices for Respiratory Protection.
Ventilation:
ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits.
Use local exhaust or general dilution

WARNING: INJURIOUS TO EYES. CAUSES SKIN IRRITATION. READ THIS WARNING BEFORE USING.
Contains Portland Cement
Contact with wet (unhardened concrete, mortar, wet cement, or cement mixtures) can cause skin irritation,
severe chemical burns, or serious eye damage. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear waterproof gloves,
a fully buttoned long-sleeved shirt, full-length trousers, and tight fitting eye protection when working with
these materials. If you have to stand in wet concrete, use waterproof boots that are tight at tops and high
enough'to keep concrete from flowing into them. If you are finishing concrete wear knee pads to protect
knees. Wash wet concrete, mortar, wet cement, or cement mixtures from your skin with fresh, clean water
immediately after contact. Indirect contact through clothing can be as serious as direct contact, so promptly
rinse out wet concrete, mortar, wet cement, or cement mixtures from clothing. Seek immediate medical
attention if you have persistent or severe discomfort. In case of eye contact, flush with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes. Consult a physician immediately.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

SECTION 16 - OTHER INFORMATION
Other Important Information:
geable persons. A key to using the product safely requires
Ready Mix concrete should only be used by knowled
the user to recognize that portland cement chemically reacts with water, and that some of the intermediate
products of this reaction (that is, those present while a concrete product is "setting") pose a far more severe
hazard than does portland cement itself.
While the information provided in this material safety data sheet is believed to provide a useful summary of the
hazards of unhardened (wet) Ready -Mix concrete as it is commonly used, the sheet cannot anticipate and
provide all of the information that might be needed in every situation. Inexperienced product users should
obtain proper training before using this product.
In particular, the data furnished in this sheet does not address hazards that may be posed by materials other
than natural sands and gravels mixed with portland cement and flyash to produce Ready -Mix concrete products.
Users should review other relevant material safety data sheets before working with this portland cement
concrete.
