CUTDOWN is a one part product featuring complex cross-linked latex polymers that reduces moisture vapor transmission and odor through concrete slabs. CUTDOWN can reduce up to 8 pounds of moisture vapor transmission (when tested according to ASTM F1869) to an acceptable level for the installation of floor covering systems. CUTDOWN also acts to isolate cutback and other adhesive residue, to allow safe installation of floor covering without fear of discoloration or bleed through.

1st. coat: 300 sq. ft./gal (m/liter)
2nd. coat: 400 sq. ft./gal (m/liter)
Two Coat Applications: One 4 gal. pail covers 700 sq. ft. in required 2 coat application.
Application conditions: The area should be conditioned at 70°F or more with a maximum humidity of 60% or less for 48 hours prior to application. Concrete slab temperature should be a minimum of 55°F. Once applied, the area must be kept at 70°F and 60% RH for 72 hours. If optimum applications conditions are not maintained, CUTDOWN may require longer drying/set-up time (several days). Freezing temperatures or excessive humidity may prevent CUTDOWN from performing properly
