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.
