Apf s vaporsolve moisture remediation systems are highly specialized epoxy coating systems formulated to isolate moisture sensitive flooring from all levels of concrete moisture.
Epoxy floor moisture mitigation.
Per 24 hours and in situ relative humidity rh moisture readings up to 100.
Laticrete recommends for protection against moisture vapor or when the relative humidity rh in the concrete measures 75 or greater to use laticrete vapor ban er or spartacote moisture vapor barrier as your base coat primer in all spartacote systems.
Vaporsolve systems are used when concrete has a known moisture problem when concrete dries too slowly to meet the construction schedule and as a preventative measure when concrete doesn t have a vapor retarder.
Mb25 will mitigate moisture pressure up to 25 lbs.
A moisture mitigation system prevents moisture from mitigating up and into a flooring system.
If the any of the readings are high we select our moisture mitigating hydro epoxy as our primer coat.
High moisture in the slab and associated moisture vapor transmission is one of the leading causes of resinous flooring issues and failures.
Once a moisture mitigating hydro epoxy is selected for application as the primer coat installation becomes a 2 day process at best.
Many flooring contractors have products available to use.
Third crews apply primer over the epoxy and then self levelling underlayment ensuring a flat and dry floor.
When applying the moisture mitigation system make sure that the concrete slab is strong enough clean.
Two component hydro epoxies provide deep substrate penetration and mitigate substrate moisture problems due to hydrostatic pressure.
