VAPORSEAL-SB is a 2-component, moisture tolerant, epoxy based product that blocks liquids and 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-SB'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.
