Every year across America people are faced with a serious problem. Floor covering system failures have become one of the most misunderstood phenomena in the modern construction age.

Problem:

Vapor drive is present in all concrete; it changes constantly and is a major cause in damage to floor coverings and epoxy floor failures, not to mention causing mold growth from trapped moisture between the concrete and flooring. The lime, PH, efflorescence, salts and Alkalinity are all caustics that eat away the bond line of mastics, adhesives and epoxies; causing delamination.

It is logical then to assume that the floor covering is financially critical part of the building itself. If it fails unexpectedly the cost and ligistics associated with the remedy, after the fact, can be catastrophic. Billions of dollars are lost in America each year due to floor covering system failures.

SBS(Sick Building Syndrome); caused by mold spores in the carpet from trapped moisture underneath; We can remedy this challenge long term and reduce the liability significantly, for all parties involved.

Solution: Topical Vapor Barrier

Designed for negative side waterproofing and is applied on the topical side of the concrete slab beneth the floor coverings. The Vapor Green FC/Vapor Guard DC system has no upper limits against moisture/alkalinity damage, can be applied on green concrete, slab on grade as a curing agent, or on cured concrete in occupied buildings. The Vapor Green FC/Vapor Guard DC Industrial floor coatings controls vapor drive to under 3lbs/1,000sq.ft.; even if the floor was showing 18lbs+ from a Calcium Chloride test. (We offer these tests as well.)

You are now protected against moisture/alkalinity damage for 15 years from the date of application.

100% synthetic; No VOC’s; shipping is class 55 – non hazardous sealant.

We assist architects, specifiers, contractors and owners on finding and understanding the most cost-effective path to slab moisture compliance.  Please contact our Specifications Writer for complete information packages in CSI format.
