VAPORSEAL-DB
is a unique 2-component, moisture tolerant,
low visxosity epoxy based product that blocks alkalinity, while retarding the transmission of moisture, odor and other elements through concrete slabs. This low viscosity
product achieves excellent penetration on dry and damp surfaces. VAPORSEAL-DB's high density enables it to reduce up to 25 lbs. of vapor emission to acceptable levels for the installation of most floor covering systems, including VCT, sheet vinyl, wood, laminates, carpet and epoxy floor systems. VAPORSEAL-DB allows the direct bond of most industrial coatings, floor level products and some adhesive systems. VAPORSEAL-DB is available in two formulations, one, a 12 hour cure and the other, a 5 hour cure for those jobs that have little down-time.

*(tested in accordance with ASTM F1869)
**Application rate is best determined form actual MVER per ASTM F1869 tested in three days immediately prior to installation, otherwise based on RH of floor. Over new concrete (7 DAYS OLD) or when RH exceeds 95%, the 15-20 lb. MVER application rate of 250 sq. feet per kit should be used.
NOTE: Some variations may apply due to porosity and absorption of substrate, Values are theoretical and thicknesses are approximate, but yield is maximum.
^For emission rates 20-25 lbs. or Relative Humidity 95-100% a test application is required to verify structural integrity and emission rate reduction. |
